Prince Harry visited King Charles III during his most recent trip to the U.K., but the status of their reconciliation remains unclear.
“While it is believed his last U.K. trip helped to build bridges in the rocky relationship he had with his father, King Charles, I don’t think the father and son will fully enjoy a smooth-sailing relationship again until Harry does one thing,” royal reporter Jasmine Carey wrote for Daily Express.

“What is that, you ask? Bring his children, Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four, to the U.K. This is because, as well as being monarch, Charles is also a loving, caring family man,” Jasmine Carey continued.

Prince Harry publicly left the royal fold in 2020, and his public complaints about the monarchy impacted his relationship with King Charles III and Prince William.
“He has great relationships with his relatives, including his eldest son, Prince William, and William’s children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis,” Jasmine Carey said, referring to Charles.

“And as a loving and fun grandad, it is no surprise that not seeing his other grandchildren — Harry’s children — is a source of anguish for the monarch,” Jasmine Carey added.
Due to being raised in California, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet haven’t spent a significant amount of time with King Charles III. But, Harry previously said he hopes his little ones could safely visit the U.K.
