Prince Harry is set to undertake a solo pseudo royal visit<\/a> to the UK from Monday \u2013 with four days of official engagements.<\/p>\n

It will be his longest trip since he and Meghan visited in 2022 when Queen Elizabeth II<\/a> died.<\/p>\n

And it comes amid claims he would like to ‘reset’ his tattered relationship with his family.<\/p>\n

But Buckingham Palace<\/a> is remaining tight-lipped on whether King Charles<\/a> will meet his estranged son.<\/p>\n

It demonstrates the level of sensitivity around the feud between Harry and the Royal Family<\/a> \u2013 exacerbated by his pursuit of His Majesty’s Government through the courts over the withdrawal of his full-time security.<\/p>\n

The Duke of Sussex<\/a> also deeply offended many by claiming his loss in the case earlier this year was an ‘Establishment stitch-up’ and publicly questioning how long his father had to live.<\/p>\n

The pair have not seen each other since February last year, when Harry flew to the UK after it was announced that Charles had cancer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He was not informed beforehand for fear of leaks and the pair met for just half an hour.<\/p>\n

Charles is currently at Birkhall, his Scottish residence, and will remain there until at least tomorrow, privately marking his mother’s death and his accession to the throne on Monday.<\/p>\n

The King does have a number of private audiences and meetings this week that could, potentially, bring him back to the capital.<\/p>\n

Prince William, who has taken a much firmer line on rekindling of relations with his brother, has official engagements elsewhere on every day of Harry’s visit.<\/p>\n

On Monday, he has an engagement in Sunningdale, Berkshire, to commemorate the life of his grandmother on the third anniversary of her death.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Tuesday he will be in London visiting Spiral Skills, a youth organisation in Lambeth which has received funding from his Homewards campaign to tackle homelessness in six trial areas around the UK.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, William will visit a mental health hub at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium to mark World Suicide Prevention Day.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, on Monday Harry will attend the WellChild Awards in London, a charity which supports youngsters affected by terminal and serious illness and their families.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He has been its patron for 17 years \u2013 even after stepping down as a working royal \u2013 and will present an award.<\/p>\n

\"Buckingham <\/p>\n

Buckingham Palace is remaining tight-lipped on whether King Charles will meet his estranged son (pictured together in September 2022)<\/p>\n

\u00a0On Tuesday he will visit the Community Recording Studio in Nottingham. His team says he will use the visit to announce a ‘substantial donation’ to charity Children in Need to support its work tackling violence impacting young people.<\/p>\n

Harry has engagements on Wednesday and Thursday with other charities he is involved in, including the Invictus Games and the Diana Award.<\/p>\n

A source said: ‘His visit is four days long and focusing purely on the patronages. [He is] keeping it positive, no courtrooms, just doing the stuff he loved to do and, hopefully, helping some of those causes closest to his heart.’<\/p>\n

It comes as Harry’s friends repeated his recent assertions in The Sunday Times that he wants to come home more and, one day, ‘bring his family’.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One said: ‘He’s not given up hope. He really would like to come back to the UK much more.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another added: ‘He’s made it absolutely clear that he wants a reconciliation with his family. It’s on them now.’<\/p>\n

But this has not gone down well with those in royal circles.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"It <\/p>\n

It comes as Harry’s friends repeated his recent assertions in The Sunday Times that he wants to come home more and, one day, ‘bring his family’<\/p>\n

One source said: ‘It’s just not that easy to dismiss recent events or try to paper over the damage that has been done. Trust has been lost and will not be easy to recover.’<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Harry also told the BBC that he believed any visit to the UK came with significant risk of physical harm to himself and his family.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Asked how the prince squared his visit this week with these claims, a source close to him said: ‘Live threats against the duke continue to exist and he accepts they always will \u2013 an unfortunate inevitability.<\/p>\n

‘For obvious reasons, we cannot discuss them in detail.<\/p>\n

‘The level of risk the duke is prepared to tolerate personally is very different from what he is willing to accept for his family.<\/p>\n

”Not wanting to expose his children to such threats is something any dad would understand.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince Harry is set to undertake a solo pseudo royal visit to the UK from Monday \u2013 with…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":210058,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[16139,211,171,3533,2676,9342,5741,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-210057","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-buckingham-palace","9":"tag-dailymail","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-femail","12":"tag-london","13":"tag-prince-harry","14":"tag-royals","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115168429072344666","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210057","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=210057"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210057\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/210058"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=210057"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=210057"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=210057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
