Prince Harry’s efforts to rebuild his relationship with the royal family have been widely discussed for months, but one upcoming situation could give him an important opportunity if he handles it carefully.
The situation involves Queen Camilla’s upcoming girls’ trip, which is expected to take place around the same time King Charles will be staying at Balmoral in Scotland.
Queen Camilla has reportedly been one of the people helping King Charles remain calm and think carefully when it comes to Prince Harry. She was also reportedly said to have changed an event so she could be present during Harry’s summer meeting with the King at Highgrove.
A Palace source told the gossip columnist that Harry knows when his father is most emotionally vulnerable. With Camilla away, the source said, one of the strongest voices encouraging Charles to think carefully before responding to Harry would not be there.
The source also claimed that Harry understands his father on an emotional level. He knows that Charles misses him and believes that, despite the anger between them, the King still wants his son back.
The source added that Charles can be very firm in his role as king, but Harry knows how to connect with him as a father, which could make the situation more sensitive.
According to Shuter, there is also concern that Harry may not need to make a major gesture to reconnect with his father. Even a simple phone call could open a door that royal officials might find difficult to close again.
