The Duke of Sussex’s 2025 return coincides with speculation about King Charles’ health and William’s future role.
Harry is expected to return to the UK in January 2025 for a court hearing against the publisher of The Sun. While his appearance in the high-profile trial is likely, a reunion with his father, King Charles, who is reportedly battling cancer, remains uncertain.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams commented, “I think it’s most unlikely that during his visit, Harry and the King will see each other.”
Meanwhile, the Palace has reportedly shifted focus to preparing Prince William and Catherine for their future leadership roles. An insider revealed that King Charles is considering plans similar to Queen Margrethe’s abdication in Denmark, which passed the throne to her son Frederik X and his wife Mary.
The source explained, “This decision appeals to Charles—and even more so to Kate and William.” The Palace is said to be working to ensure a seamless transition to power for the Prince and Princess of Wales, as speculation about King Charles’ health grows.
The Duke of Sussex’s visit, combined with these royal developments, highlights a pivotal moment for the monarchy as it navigates both personal and institutional transitions.
