Prince Harry surprised fans when he met with King Charles earlier this week – and it seems that meeting could be the start of a wider family reunion.
The Duke of Sussex returned to the UK earlier this week to attend the WellChild Awards and carry out a number of charity engagements.
During his visit, he spent 55 minutes with the King at Clarence House. When later asked about his father, Harry replied, “He’s great, thank you.” It’s now been claimed Charles is likely to reunite with his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
A source has said the meeting between Harry and Charles was “an important first step towards rebuilding their father-and-son relationship,” before revealing, “The King wants to be a grandfather to his grandchildren so that’s an important pull.”
Speaking to the Daily Mail, they added, “He was so pleased when they came over for Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee and he was able to spend some time with them.”
“He’s obviously loved being back in the U.K., catching up with old friends, colleagues, and just generally being able to support the incredible work of the causes that mean so much to him,” the spokesperson told People Magazine.
Harry appeared to be happy after his reunion with Charles, attending The Diana Award event the following evening. During the event, the Duke of Sussex shared a loving tribute to his late mom, Princess Diana.
While Harry reunited with his father, he didn’t meet with his brother Prince William or sister-in-law Kate Middleton while he was in the UK.
