Prince Harry’s return to the UK has made the headlines as the Duke of Sussex announced plans to attend the WellChild Awards in London on September 8, 2025.

The visit which is Prince Harry’s first visit to the UK since losing his taxpayer-funded security, also coincides with the third anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s death.

Prince Harry’s return to the UK was contained in a press statement issued by WellChild. 

The charity organisation said: “Prince Harry will be celebrating 20 years of the WellChild Awards in London on September 8.”

Also, Harry, who has been a patron of the charity since 2007, was quoted as saying in the statement: “I am always privileged to attend the WellChild Awards and meet the incredible children, families, and professionals who inspire us all with their strength and spirit.”

Meanwhile, the upcoming visit has ignited speculation about potential meetings between Prince Harry, King Charles III, and his brother, Prince William. 

Pan-Atlantic Kompass reports that Prince Harry and King Charles III have not seen each other since January 2024.

However, despite the situation, media reports revealed that King Charles III, who is undergoing medical cancer treatment, is open to seeing his son.

A source close to the royal family hinted that the King is aiming to reconcile with his son, particularly as he is battling a serious illness. 

The source said: “There is now a determination on both sides to make this happen. Nobody is pretending the wider family issues have been resolved, but this is about beginning with Charles and Harry.

“For the first time in a long time, there’s a genuine sense that reconciliation is within reach. Prince Harry’s team and the Palace have opened a line of communication, and there is every hope that father and son will see one another when the Duke returns to London in September.”

“After 20 months apart, and with the King continuing his treatment, the feeling is that the time is right to take that step. This is not about grand gestures or set-piece meetings – it’s about a simple face-to-face conversation between a father and his son. The priority is privacy and dignity, but also ensuring the door stays open for further dialogue. As for Harry and William, though, any chance of reconciliation between them has been rejected out of hand.”

Meanwhile, reports suggest that the relationship between Prince Harry and his brother, Prince William, might be easily repaired. 

The two brothers are currently at loggerheads, with reports suggesting that it will take a lot for reconciliation to be achieved between the duo.

A separate source added: “William feels Harry has repeatedly chosen public exposure over private resolution and that the Royal Family can’t keep being dragged into the headlines every time there’s a new contract to promote. 

“The issue with Harry, as well as Meghan, is one of trust. Ever since moving to North America, they have eroded all confidence in their ability to keep things or their criticisms private. For there to be any chance of moving forward, that trust has to be rebuilt, and Team Sussex knows the onus is on them.”

Recall that since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, Harry and his wife, Meghan, have thrown shade at the monarchy. 

In a March 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Harry and Meghan accused the royal family of alleged racism within the institution.

Also, their Netflix docuseries in 2022 accused the palace of “unconscious bias” and leaking stories to the press.
