King Charles reportedly ready to host Prince Harry at Buckingham Palace

Prince Harry is likely to travel to Britain in September for the annual WellChild awards ceremony, which he traditionally attends. According to The Sun, his father, King Charles III, is prepared to offer him a room at Buckingham Palace in an effort to rebuild their relationship.

Royal commentator Helen Chard described the possible invitation as the king's attempt to gradually reconnect with his younger son. However, she said some palace staff oppose the idea, still feeling hurt by the public statements, interviews and criticism directed at the monarchy by Harry and his wife Meghan after they stepped back from royal duties.

There are also concerns that Prince William might not support the plan. The brothers' relationship has reportedly remained cold, and they have not communicated properly since the death of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022. Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams noted that William and his wife Catherine represent the future of the monarchy, so the king's efforts to get closer to Harry could become a source of renewed conflict.

The reports about a September visit came after Harry and Meghan arrived in Britain in July. During that trip, they met King Charles privately at his country estate, Highgrove. It was reportedly the first time since 2022 that the king saw his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, in person.

The earlier visit was overshadowed by uncertainty about Harry's security and accommodation. Representatives for Harry claimed that an offer to stay at Buckingham Palace was withdrawn after it had been accepted, while palace sources said the prince had failed to respond by the deadline.

Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior royals in 2020 and moved to California. Since then, they no longer receive automatic taxpayer-funded police protection in the UK.

Neither Buckingham Palace nor the couple's office, Archewell, has commented on the reports about a possible stay in September.
