Experts weigh in on whether or not Prince Harry will reconcile with King Charles during upcoming UK visit

Prince Harry has recently confirmed that he will make his first trip back to the UK since the coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla in May, 2023.

The Duke of Sussex will head back to the UK next month to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, however it was not confirmed if he will be reuniting with his father and brother, Prince William.

It's also uncertain Harry will be bringing his wife, Meghan Markle, and two children Prince Archie, four, and Princess Lilibet, two, along for the visit.

It's been reported that King Charles is open to meeting with Harry to reconcile, however royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams says it may not be a "warm reception."

"It will take its time. But clearly the situation has changed in recent weeks beyond all expectations," he told The Sun. "I don't think it would be too difficult, it depends how you define reconcile. I think there's a long way to go before Harry is bringing over Meghan and the children."

Harry last saw his father in early February when he flew home following news of the King's cancer diagnosis.

Fitzwilliams added that it is unlikely that Meghan will accompany Harry on his upcoming trip to the UK, since her "reception would overshadow the message of the service."

Royal biographer Ingrid Sewerd seconded the theory that Meghan would not get a warm reception form the British people, telling 9honey that "they are so disliked, that couple in this country.

"It seems to me that everything they do is for them," she added.

"I'm afraid that I think the majority of people feel that way, I don't know anyone that likes them."

Seward said that "everybody loved Harry", which had always set Meghan up for failure in the public's eye.

"She was damned, really, before she even had the ring on her finger, because if you think back, a lot of women [who] marry very famous, popular people are loathed.

"If you think of Linda McCartney when she married Paul McCartney, she was vilified. I mean, that was way back and there wasn't social media or anything like that."

Harry's trip back home comes amid news that he has made the US his primary residence, which one expert says could imply that this upcoming trip back home is his final.

Royal biographer Tom Quinn says that Harry's opportunity to speak at the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games could be the perfect opportunity to say goodbye.

"The games were founded by Harry when he was still a working Royal, so pressure isn't being brought to bear to make him give it up now," he told The Mirror US.

"Even if Harry begged to be allowed back to help out - even if his father King Charles became so ill he was unable to carry out his duties - whatever happens, the call to help will never go out to Montecito," he told the publication.

"Making the US his primary residence is Harry's final goodbye."

While there is no confirmation from official sources, it appears likely Prince Harry will return to the UK on his own.

If he does have plans to meet with his father, it's unlikely that it will be with the intention to reconcile and rejoin the working royals, since he has now officially made the US his permanent residence.
