As Prince Harry prepares to return to the United Kingdom in May for his charity work with the Invictus Games, a source has revealed that his top priority upon arrival will be to visit his father, King Charles, who was recently diagnosed with cancer. The Duke of Sussex is said to be determined to repair their bond and spend as much quality time as possible with his father during his stay.
An insider exclusively told The Mirror, "Harry's first priority when he comes to England is to see his sick dad. He is pretty focused on this. It will be his first port of call when he comes off the plane to try and spend as much time with King Charles so that they can build bridges, and enjoy each other's company like before."
"Harry knows it will be awkward, but it's a time to put pride and differences to one side. He is coming over for his charity work, which is so important to him so he will juggle his schedule accordingly, but seeing his dad will come first."
"He wants the family to get back to the way they were and is going to be making extra effort with his brother Wills too, as difficult as it may be. Now, more than ever, with Kate's cancer diagnosis too, Harry wants them to know he is there for them."
The very chatty royal expert Tom Quinn says, "There has been a shift here since Kate's illness – Harry and Meghan do feel they need to extend an olive branch, but Meghan's sense of grievance is still preventing anything really meaningful happening."
"Harry would like a reconciliation, but supports his wife completely and until she feels that the Royal family have been sufficiently nice to her – and grovelingly apologised for the past - it's not going to happen,"
"There is no way Meghan would bring the children to the UK. William and Kate have suggested that Meghan and Harry bring the children and that the two couples and their families try to make up, but the suggestion is not leading anywhere so far,"
Royal Insider Deep Crown tells us, “William is simply done with all this incessant drama. As much as the late Queen loved Prince Harry, it is William who truly shares his grandmother's unwavering mindset that the monarchy must be protected."
"Prince William recognizes that the institution of the monarchy is far greater than any individual family member, and he is steadfast in his commitment to ensuring its longevity and stability. It is a burden he bears with the utmost seriousness and dedication, just as his grandmother did before him."
Deep Crown also expresses a sense of sadness at the current state of the brothers' relationship, noting, "It is truly a shame, for one cannot help but think that their late mother, Princess Diana, would be so utterly disappointed to see her two boys, once so close, now so distant from one another."
