In a surprising turn of events, King Charles III chose to delay his helicopter departure in order to extend a personal welcome to Prince Harry at his residence in London.
The monarch's decision to honor his estranged son, who had rushed to the UK to support his ailing father in his battle against cancer, has raised eyebrows and sparked speculation about the dynamics within the royal family.
Prince William and Princess Kate may have been taken aback by Charles's gesture, especially considering the lack of public acknowledgment from William regarding his father's health.
The meeting between father and son, albeit brief, has fueled conjecture about the state of relations between Charles and William, particularly in light of Harry and Meghan Markle's recent actions.
Despite rumors of discord, Harry's spontaneous journey across the Atlantic seems to have touched the King deeply. There are even reports suggesting Meghan supported Harry's decision to prolong his stay in the UK.
This private encounter marks the first time Harry and Charles have met since the passing of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022, though they have maintained contact through phone calls.
Royal Correspondent Michael Cole praised Harry's contributions to the family, highlighting his sincerity and potential to play a supportive role during this challenging time.
Cole further suggested that Harry and Meghan could win back public favor if they returned to the UK to support the Royal Family in its time of need.
As speculation swirls and tensions simmer within the monarchy, Charles's gesture towards Harry may signal a desire for reconciliation and unity among the royals.
