GB News interrupted their live coverage where royal correspondent Cameron Walker reported live from Nottingham and spoke to members of the public about the arrival of Prince Harry. The Duke of Sussex takes on his second day of engagements in Nottingham during his four-day UK visit, while Prince William is carrying out royal duties miles away, with no sign yet of the brothers crossing paths. Speculation is rife over whether Harry will see his father, King Charles, who returns from his Balmoral break this week. It would be the father and son’s first face-to-face meeting in nearly two years, following a brief meeting in February 2024 after the King’s cancer diagnosis.
In a fresh update, Cameron revealed it is possible the pair will meet in London later this week. Speaking to GB News host Martin Daubney, the correspondent explained an olive branch has potentially been extended to Harry. Royal reports have suggested a meeting could be on the cards. Cameron said: “Yesterday, I was with the Prince of Wales in Sunningdale. He was seven miles away from Prince Harry laying a wreath at the grave of his late grandmother at Windsor Castle. We don’t believe they met. We don’t even think they’re on speaking terms, Martin.”
He continued: “But the King is slightly more likely in a meeting between [Harry] and the monarch. At the moment, the King is in Balmoral in Scotland, which is of course, half a days travel away.
“Prince Harry, we think, is spending the remainder of his time in the UK in London. But we believe the King is returning to London for cancer treatment later this week which means logistically there could be a window for Prince Harry and the King to meet.”
Cameron went on: “Neither side are confirming if they’re going to be meeting. I doubt their staff members know the answer to that question and believe me we have all asked for an answer to that question and we simply don’t know.”
He added that the meeting between Harry and King’s team a two months ago is confirmation that a reconciliation is being considered between the two parties.
“If it does happen, we’re going to have to wait until after the event,” Cameron concluded.
Harry has been open about his desire to build bridges with his family, with relations strained since he stepped back as a working royal five years ago.
Since moving to the US with his wife Meghan Markle, the royal has been candid about grievances about his family members – with his memoir Spare also lifting the lid on his childhood and longstanding sibling rivalry with Prince William.
Harry began his trip with a private visit to his grandmother’s grave in Windsor and attended charity events, including meeting 17-year-old WellChild award winner Declan Bitmead.
He smiled as he made a brief, light-hearted reference to siblings, saying: “You know what – siblings. Sometimes it can be more challenging.”
