Monarch remains hopeful for reunion as the Duke of Sussex returns to California
King Charles appears to be taking a thoughtful step toward a potential reunion with his son Harry following the Duke of Sussex’s celebrated appearance at the Invictus Games in Canada.
Harry, who recently concluded the event in Vancouver and Whistler, received widespread admiration, earning a standing ovation from participants and spectators alike. Despite reports of limited communication between father and son, hopes remain that their paths may cross after Harry’s return to California.
Although earlier reports suggested that King Charles and Queen Camilla were planning a U.S. visit in 2026, palace sources have downplayed these claims. The monarch’s health and ongoing treatment continue to influence future travel plans.
A palace official, quoted by Daily Beast, confirmed that the U.S. is not currently listed on the royal schedule, with no formal invitation extended. The source noted that any potential visit would depend on Charles’ recovery and standard scheduling procedures.
Additionally, Harry’s recent challenges regarding his U.S. visa application, which was reopened last month, may also factor into the monarch’s cautious approach. Sources suggest that King Charles, known for avoiding controversy, expects his team to resolve any potential issues before confirming travel plans.
