Prince Harry is scheduled to visit the United Kingdom later this month, but a reunion with his father, King Charles III, appears unlikely. The visit coincides with Harry’s ongoing legal case against Associated Newspapers (ANL), and sources indicate that the timing of his stay will pose significant challenges for any potential family meetings.
Details regarding the exact dates of Harry’s visit remain unclear, as reported by Page Six. An insider noted that the prince’s itinerary will be “very tight,” complicating efforts to coordinate with family members. Additionally, it is expected that King Charles III will be in Scotland during Harry’s time in London, further diminishing the chances for a reunion. Another source informed People that the monarch typically prefers to avoid situations involving ongoing legal matters, which may lead him to steer clear of his son entirely during this visit.
The relationship between Harry and his father has faced significant strain since the Duke of Sussex stepped back from royal duties in 2020 and relocated to California with his wife, Duchess Meghan. This tension escalated with the release of their Netflix docuseries, which shared their experiences as working royals, followed by Harry’s memoir, Spare. In the memoir, Harry expressed feelings of inadequacy, stating that both his father and brother, Prince William, had often made him feel lesser than.
Despite these challenges, Harry has made efforts to mend family ties. The two last met in September 2025, marking their first reunion in 18 months. Prior to that, their previous encounter occurred in February 2024, when Harry traveled to England to support Charles following the announcement of his cancer diagnosis.
As the upcoming visit approaches, fans and observers alike will be keenly watching for any developments regarding potential interactions among the royal family members. The dynamics of their relationship continue to evolve, reflecting the complexities of personal and public life within the monarchy.
