The Duke of Sussex is expected to meet with the King during his trip to the UK next week, it has been reported.
Harry will attend a ceremony marking the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games at London’s St Paul’s Cathedral on Wednesday May 8.
The Sun reports the duke is “very keen” to meet with Charles, with their previous meeting coming in February following the King’s cancer diagnosis.
It has also been reported that any potential meeting is unlikely to include the Prince of Wales, with William scheduled to be away from the capital on Thursday and Friday.
The duke is expected to give a reading at a service of thanksgiving marking a decade since the inaugural Invictus Games London in 2014.
It will be the first major event he has attended in Britain for some time.
Organisers say there has been no confirmation of any other royals attending, or if the Duchess of Sussex or the couple’s children will be in the UK.
The service is scheduled two days after Harry’s son Archie celebrates his fifth birthday.
Actor Damian Lewis is set to recite the Invictus poem during the service.
Representatives from Invictus Games participating nations, including members of the wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veteran community, will also be in attendance.
Following the ceremony, Harry and Meghan are scheduled to head to Nigeria after being invited by the west African country’s chief of defence staff, who met Harry in Germany last September at Invictus Games Dusseldorf.
Harry and Meghan moved to the US in 2020 after stepping down from royal duties.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
