The Mirror report said that tensions \u201chave thawed\u201d since Harry lost his lengthy and costly case against the British government over his request for upgrades to his taxpayer-funded security while he\u2019s in the U.K. The Mirror said that Harry\u2019s supposed visit with his father was set in motion last month by an informal meeting held in London held last month between one of Harry\u2019s top advisers and the monarch\u2019s communications secretary.<\/p>\n
However, that informal meeting of the advisers was not so secret<\/a> because it was leaked to the press, likely by Harry and his team, as The Sun\u2019s royal editor Matt Wilkinson acknowledged in an interview on Britain\u2019s TalkTV<\/a>.<\/p>\n Because Harry\u2019s private communications with his family members tend to end up in the press, Wilkinson shrugged off The Mirror\u2019s report that Charles would agree to see his son. However, Wilkinson agreed with The Mirror\u2019s contention that Prince William would not be part of any such meeting and has \u201crejected\u201d any of Harry\u2019s reconciliation efforts.<\/p>\n \u201cI absolutely stand by the fact that I don\u2019t think his brother at this moment in time can even entertain the thought of any reconciliation,\u201d Wilkinson said. He also said\u201d \u201cI doubt whether the king is desperate to see Harry.\u201d<\/p>\n Wilkinson said Harry actually has had multiple opportunities to see his father, quietly and privately, over the past 20 months. He also explained how he could enjoy a below-the-radar meeting when he comes to the U.K. next month, while is father is on vacation with the rest of the royal family in Balmoral, Scotland. \u201cIf he genuinely wanted to see his father, without all the circus around, he could have just flown into Heathrow, gone up to Aberdeen and gone over to see his father,\u201d Wilkinson said.<\/p>\n But for this upcoming visit, people in Harry\u2019s camp have announced it to the global media as if it\u2019s \u201ca royal visit,\u201d Wilkinson said. Harry is expected to be in London to attend the WellChild Awards on Sept. 8, the third anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s death. Harry has long supported WellChild, a nonprofit that provides services to children with life-limiting illnesses and their families. It\u2019s expected that Harry will have meetings in London with other organizations as well.<\/p>\n Harry last saw Charles in February 2024, when the king announced he had cancer and begun treatment. Harry revealed to the world that he had jumped on a plane to fly to London<\/a> to see his father. However, Harry\u2019s critics accused the duke of pulling a publicity stunt with his mad \u201cdash\u201d to England to see his father for what turned out to only be a half-hour meeting.<\/p>\n This week, Rebecca English, the royals editor for the Daily Mail, reminded her readers<\/a> that Charles didn\u2019t ask Harry to come see him in England in early February 2024, especially as he had just begun treatment and wasn\u2019t up for the stress that his younger son tends to bring with him.<\/p>\n![\"Britain's](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Harrycourt.jpg\")
