King Charles to put ego aside for ‘darling boy’ Prince Harry in major move, says royal author
King Charles is reportedly making significant efforts to offer his younger son, Prince Harry, another chance at reconciliation. Currently undergoing cancer treatment, the monarch is discussing a potential visit to America to spend time with his son and grandchildren, according to royal author Tom Quinn.
“Charles has had discussions about an official visit to the United States at some time in the future,” he told The Mirror. “And there is no doubt if it goes ahead he would build in time to visit his youngest son and his grandchildren.”
However, Quinn added that there are “mountains of planning to be overcome before that becomes even a remote possibility.” However, King Charles, who very often referred to Harry as his “darling boy,” may be giving in to his fatherly instincts, as he puts his ego aside, to meet his boy.
Quinn noted that Charles has made several private visits to various countries, including an unpublicized trip to Transylvania “to check up on his rental properties.” Given these previous trips, it is “certainly possible” that King Charles would “make a discreet private visit to Harry and the children in California.”
Quinn added that Charles is “desperate” to see Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet and “hates” the idea that his grandchildren “will not remember him as the warm friendly grandfather he wants to be.”
In May, when Prince Harry visited the UK, a spokesperson for the Duke of Sussex revealed that a meeting with the King was not possible due to his full schedule and ongoing treatment. Royal experts viewed this as a snub to Harry, suggesting that Charles may still harbor some resentment towards his son.
Despite these challenges, Charles’s desire to reconnect with his grandchildren and mend his relationship with Harry underscores his commitment to family unity. The monarch’s efforts to arrange a visit to California highlight his hope for reconciliation and a closer bond with his distant family members.
