Prince Harry ‘Wants More of a Foothold’ in U.K. After Mending Relationship With King Charles
It seems that Prince Harry‘s first visit to the United Kingdom in several years began to heal some old wounds between him and his father, King Charles.
Harry, 41, previously brought his wife, Meghan Markle, and two children – Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5 – to visit with Charles, 77, earlier this summer, and according to a report from The Times, those visits are going to happen “every few months” in the future.
“The template for his visits has been working well, so the frequency of trips will increase, especially in the run-up to Invictus, which he’s determined to make the best games yet. So he’ll be coming back and forth a lot more, every few months,” a source told the publication on Monday, August 17.
The Sussexes’ reunion with Charles and Queen Camilla was the first time the group had been together since 2022, but their relationship is seemingly on the mend.
“The way the wind is blowing, he’s going to want to be here more and more. He’s happy these trips can now have more focus on the patronages and be less obscured by the other nonsense,” the source continued. “He wants more of a foothold here, more trips back, less courtroom drama. And he always loves seeing his family.”
Harry and Meghan, 44, took a step back from their duties as royals in 2020, and they later relocated to America. Since then, there has been tension between the couple and the royal family.
As Examiner previously reported, Charles “wants to rebuild” his relationship with his youngest son but at “a pace that’s comfortable for him.” Harry is also hoping to repair his relationship with his dad, but the source said it was “pretty obvious that the Sussexes are in much more of a hurry to keep building on things.”
“Harry wants to see his dad as often as physically possible,” the source revealed. “He’s already talking about Christmas, and there’s all this discussion about wanting Charles to join him at the Invictus Games in 2027. Harry keeps pushing, as does Meghan.”
