Prince Harry is back in the UK this week, and you might think the stage is set for a royal reunion with his father—especially given King Charles’ recent health challenges. I mean, it’s practically a plot twist from a soap opera! Harry’s just rolled in from presenting a WellChild Award, and surely, hearts would align, right? But hold your horses; it turns out the situation is a bit more tangled than a family reunion gone wrong.
According to sources, the ever-diplomatic Queen Camilla is playing the role of the cautious caretaker, urging Charles to steer clear of any emotional stress that might come with a meeting—because if there’s anything that spells “family drama,” it’s a heartwarming yet awkward chat between a father and son amid health woes. And let’s not forget—it’s not just about catching up. The backdrop of estrangement and serious illness makes the prospect of a reunion a minefield of emotions. What could possibly go wrong, right? So, what does this all mean for their already rocky relationship? Buckle up, because this royal saga is anything but predictable!
Put those two facts together and one would think that Harry and King Charles would reunite at some point over the next few days, right?
After Harry took part in such activities as he did on Monday night? When he presented a WellChild Award?
One might think this, but one would apparently be mistaken.
According to The Daily Beast, Queen Camilla is discouraging any contact between her husband and his son in the wake of the latter previously abandoning his family and the former having been diagnosed with cancer.
“[Camilla] has been the principal voice urging Charles to slow down and take things easy,” her friend told the aforementioned outlet over the weekend, adding:
“The last thing she wants him to do is to get stressed out over a meeting with Harry.”
The Prince of Wales even has concerns that he’ll never see his dad alive again considering Charles revealed several months ago that he was battling some form of cancer.
The 75-year old monarch has only seen his youngest son once this year… when the Harry flew to his native country in February after hearing of his father’s illness.
Later this month, however, the King has an important trip to Australia planned — and those close are afraid that meeting up with Harry might increase his levels of anxiety.
To date, Charles is heeding this advice.
But, deep down, this same Daily Beast insider says the King years to make up with his estranged child.
“The king has an instinctive impulse towards Christian reconciliation, and his cancer diagnosis has only sharpened that,” the friend says.
“He wants this settled, not just because he loves both his sons, but because it has been so destabilizing for the monarchy.”
The New York Post has reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment in the wake of this report, but has not yet heard anything back.
