Prince Harry and King Charles reunion: When will they meet and where could they see each other?
As part of his trip to the UK, Prince Harry visited Nottingham on Tuesday September 9.
Prince Harry is back in London today (Wednesday September 10) after visiting Nottingham yesterday (Tuesday September 9). During his visit, he announced that he would be donating £1.1m to BBC Children in Need.
Shortly after he got engaged to Meghan Markle, the now Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry visited Nottingham Academy. It was the couple’s first joint royal duty in 2017 and when they arrived, the couple were given cards, flowers and chocolate by crowds waiting for their arrival.
On Wednesday September 10, Prince Harry carried out more engagements and was seen arriving at Imperial College London to visit its Centre for Blast Injury Studies. During the visit, he was seen giving British Paralympic medallist David Henson a hug when they greeted one another.
It is not yet known if and when Prince Harry might see his father King Charles. When Buckingham Palace revealed King Charles’s cancer diagnosis last February, the Duke of Sussex returned to London for a short meeting with his father.
The statement from Buckingham Palace read: “During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.
“His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties. Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual.
“The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible.
“His Majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer.”
When and where did Prince Harry meet King Charles last year?
King Charles and Prince Harry reportedly met for 30 minutes at Clarence House last February.
Where and when will Prince Harry’s reunion with King Charles take place?
It has not been confirmed or denied that Prince Harry will meet with his father King Charles during his visit to the UK. In July of this year, senior aides to both the King and Prince Harry were pictured together in London, which suggested that a channel of communication was opening between the father and son.
King Charles is in London for his weekly cancer treatment and audience with the Prime Minister, so it is likely that if a meeting does take place between the monarch and Prince Harry, it will take place later today or tomorrow, Thursday September 11.
Like last year, the meeting between King Charles and Prince Harry took place at Clarence House, so this could be a possible venue choice if the reunion goes ahead between the pair.
