Prince William officially returns to duty since his father, King Charles III’s cancer diagnosis and his wife, the Princess of Wales’ surgery (video below). As for brothers becoming close pals again, that isn’t happening, sadly.
The meeting between the King and Prince Harry today lasted for around 45 minutes, according to various news outlets.
The Duke of Sussex landed at Heathrow earlier after an overnight flight from California and travelled to Clarence House to see his father.
It was a notable moment. A royal reunion, but perhaps not a great reconciliation. Although, I think the fact that Prince Harry had to travel for thousands of miles for that 45-minute meeting – and bear in mind the two haven’t spoken in person for months – means it was significant.
With no plans for Prince William to meet Harry while he is in the UK, “for now, the focus is very much on the King’s health”, as those red boxes will be delivered here to this remote base of West Norfolk. But I think we are now facing a new reality, a moment of change, a moment of uncertainty, where the only certainty is the fact that things will be different and we won’t be seeing much of the King in the coming weeks.
