cdare they say, next September 17 in London, King Charles III and Prince Harry? The closed-door meeting seems to have been wanted by the sovereign himself, who wishes to speak face to face with his rebellious son to try to resolve the crisis that has worsened following the publication, last January, of the autobiography Spare, full of shocking revelations about the Royal Family. Carlo, however, would have set rather heavy conditions. Starting with the fact that he doesn’t want Meghan at court.
King Charles III calls Harry to London
The date decided by the king is convenient for everyone. The return of Charles and Camilla from Balmoral to London is expected in those days, in preparation for a trip to France by the English monarch. Harry, for his part, will have just finished his engagements a Düsseldorf, Germany, for the new edition of the Invictus Gamesto which he will be present together with his wife Meghan, and will be able to stay a few days in the capital before returning to California.
Meghan won’t be there. And maybe not even William
Buckingham Palace staff are now busy organizing the meeting, in the hope that everything will go smoothly and away from prying eyes. But the king insists: the meeting must take place exclusively between father and son. Meghan Markle, unloved at court, was not included. The Duchess will accompany her husband to London, but she will not be allowed to enter the gates of the Royal residence. And like her, Prince William has also been asked to stay away.

William doesn’t trust his brother
If Charles manages to show patience towards Harry, is willing to forgive and wishes to somehow restore peace with the Sussexes, perhaps guaranteeing their return to court on the most important occasions, so far his eldest son William has shown completely different intentions . According to collaborators of the sovereign, the heir to the throne is not ready for a meeting with his brother. Still very angry about the allegations leveled against him in Spare, William is less inclined to trust Harry, who persists in asking for an apology from the Royal Family.
Father and son have not seen each other since the Coronation
Last May 6, the day of theCoronation of CharlesHarry had only met his father briefly and there had been no occasion for a private meeting. Excluded from the ceremony, the prince had been forced to sit in the sixth row, together with the less important Royals. But after the tensions caused by the Sussexes in the last three years through interviews, books and documentaries, Carlo hopes in his heart to clarify some issues. Or maybe just to get some weight off your stomach.
