Prince William and Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, are not planning a reconciliation meeting during Charles III’s coronation visit to England. Reports from the press have circulated that there is no confirmed plan for a private sit-down between the brothers as the royal family gathers for the royal milestone. The news outlets emphasize that no such gathering is on the official schedule for the trip to mark the monarch’s ascent to the throne.
Insiders say that 38-year-old Harry recently spoke candidly with his father over the weekend in an attempt to ease the lingering tensions following a sequence of high-profile interviews and the release of the memoir Spare. The insiders stress that the discussions did not involve his older brother William, nor did they include a planned meeting with him during the English visit, underscoring the fragile state of family dynamics at this moment.
Royal commentator Ingrid Seward weighed in, suggesting that, out of courtesy, one might expect Harry to seek some form of contact with his family, regardless of the discomfort involved. She noted that the conversation with the king could help soften tensions, but she indicated that this time Harry appears unlikely to engage with William at the coronation events. Such remarks reflect a broader sense of cautious optimism tempered by lingering distance within the royal household. (Sun)
Earlier reports from Express had pointed to a perception that Harry’s public appearances and statements had created friction with other family members, and that the procession and public moments at the coronation would be watched closely for any signs of reconciliation or continued estrangement. The coverage highlighted the intensity of media scrutiny surrounding the royal family during this pivotal moment. (Express)
There has also been talk that Charles III is disappointed about missing opportunities to see Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, and the couple’s grandchildren during the coronation weekend, underscoring the broader emotional stakes for the family amid ongoing public interest and private family dynamics.
