Reconciliation between King Charles and Prince Harry isn’t a given, but there’s no denying that the two have finally taken steps towards that possibility. Not so long ago, there was a meeting between aides from both camps, and recent reports indicate that Prince Harry is inviting his family to the next Invictus Games and that he wants Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and their kids to be involved in his funeral. So, that’s all positive.

But that doesn’t mean reconciliation is a given, or that everyone agrees. Prince William’s aides were reportedly not present in the meeting, and the fact that there hasn’t been any other public gesture likely means everyone is taking it slowly.  British royals expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital that the King wasn’t fully convinced yet. But, however, he was willing to go along with it.

“King Charles, while cautious and wary, might attend the Invictus Games,” Fordwich said. “But of course, he prefers all private matters to remain private. In addition, there are many conflicts with the royal schedule, let alone Queen Camilla’s 80th birthday during the games.”

She also added, “For Harry, it’s about what he can gain, while, for the royals, it’s about what they have to lose,” Fordwich claimed. “Harry wants to be included. He misses not only the U.K. but many aspects of royal privileges. However, he hasn’t been successful in any of his endeavors. For the royals, more disclosures and scandals are concerning. They simply don’t need… Harry around, particularly not Prince William, who is resolute regarding any reconciliation being a huge mistake.”

This seems to corroborate previous reports that while King Charles might be eager for a reconciliation, William is not so sure. And that means he likely won’t attend the Invictus Games, even if invited. Princess Diana’s former butler, Paul Burrell, told Express.co.uk, “I think that The King and the Prince of Wales have enough charity events to go to, so I think they wouldn’t have to go to the Invictus Games.” He added, “This is Harry’s baby, not The King’s and not William’s. I think they shouldn’t go to support Harry in this venture. This is Harry’s concern, not theirs.”

“A public show of support, at this time, is probably not on the cards. I doubt whether William would embrace Harry in public at this moment in time, or even ever again,” he also said.

The Mail on Sunday reported that Prince Harry was “hopeful” his family would attend the next Invictus Games, which will take place in 2027 in the UK. “Harry has agreed that Invictus should extend an invitation to his family,” a source told the publication. “Invictus hopes the Royal Family will come along to support the wounded veterans taking part.”

Considering the Invictus Games are still years away, a lot could happen before then. Whether that is a full reconciliation between King Charles and Prince Harry, one that can be showcased at the games, will be something to keep an eye on. And though it feels like a long shot at this time, there’s enough time for even Prince Harry and Prince William to make up before then.
