Prince Harry is going to be in the UK this September, and there’s a chance he may meet with King Charles. While it seems like that’s just around the corner, a lot can happen in a month’s time, with the Sussexes being urged to keep quiet, it has been claimed.
According to Eric Schiffer, a brand and reputation strategist, the odds of the meeting happening “swing like a volatile pendulum” and “one Meghan quote could snap the cord and paralyze the process,” he told Daily Express US.
Schiffer puts emphasis on Meghan and that may be because the Duchess is active on social media.
Meghan launched her Instagram page on New Year’s Day, which has already amassed over 4 million followers and while her fans are cheering for her and Harry to reconcile with the Royal Family, according to Schiffer one slip could throw everything off as the “September summit sits on fragile ice” and if anything is leaked, it will land under a “heat lamp.”
It’s not just the Sussexes, the palace aides play a role in the meeting happening with Schiffer saying the “palace planners treat the date like a bomb squad exercise — wire, wrong boom,” in other words, anything is possible, and the plans could change in a blink and you miss it moment.
Earlier this year, we spoke to Ian Pelham Turner about Harry and the royal rift, asking how long it would last. The former royal photographer replied, “As long as the palace wants it to.”
He added: “I think, personally, that it’s the Palace behind all of this rhetoric that is coming from all of these so-called ‘close associates.’”
The photographer-turned-TV commentator is cheering for the reconciliation to happen.
“I don’t know what it is, I can’t put my finger on it, totally, I just feel, at the moment, Britain needs a united Royal Family where they represent all the different values and all the different citizens of the UK, that’s just my feeling.”

It seems like there’s been a shift and now the palace is open to communication, and it may be because Harry‘s court case over his security arrangements has ended, which was a point of contention between Harry and Charles.
Jennie Bond, former BBC Royal Correspondent, discusses how the September summit came about and what the Sussexes can expect moving forward.
She said, “One reason this might have happened is because Harry‘s court case over his security arrangements has ended. The legal action was a point of serious contention between the King and the Prince.”
She added,” Trust is the vital and non-negotiable ingredient in every relationship within the tight-knit royal circle.”
