Prince Harry is returning to London for a children's charity gala, sparking speculation about a potential meeting with his father, King Charles III, amidst ongoing family tensions. Despite a brief encounter in February 2024 after the King's cancer diagnosis, their rift remains.

• The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, previously made a heartfelt plea for reconciliation in May, stating, "I would love reconciliation with my family."
• A July meeting between royal aides, including King Charles' press secretary Tobyn Andreae and Prince Harry's head of communications Meredith Maines, fueled rumors of an impending meeting.
• Royal commentators, like historian Ed Owens, suggest reconciliation is "on the cards" as it would benefit the King by "managing to knit back together this very fragmented family."
