King Charles Is Headed to North America—But Will He Meet with Son Prince Harry?
Prince Harry has made countless headlines after stepping down as a senior royal, from his controversial memoir and legal battle over security to his tell-all interview with the BBC. The royal has since been candid about how these events led to a rift with his family, especially his father, King Charles. But now that the monarch is planning a visit to North America, royal fans can't help but wonder if the father-son duo will have an opportunity to reconnect.
On Instagram, His Majesty and Queen Camilla announced that they will travel across the pond next week for a visit to Canada, which means they will briefly be on the same continent as Harry, who currently resides in California with his family. Given that the two haven't seen each other in over a year, could this mean that King Charles will make time to check in on his son?
According to PureWow's resident royal expert, Rachel Bowie, it's very unlikely.

"I think it's highly doubtful we'll see King Charles reunite with Prince Harry during his visit to Canada this month," Bowie said. "For one thing, Ottawa is thousands of miles from Montecito—if the pair couldn't coordinate a meet-up while Harry was in London for recent events like the WellChild Awards or the 10-year anniversary of the Invictus Games, both last year, I don't see this being the moment where they finally have a chance to reconnect."
Referencing Prince Harry's emotional remarks during his chat with BBC, she added, "Harry's BBC interview is still very much top of mind for the world, but I'm sure especially for Charles. Harry wants a royal reconciliation, but for Charles, there's a continued lack of trust. I'd be thrilled to see them figure out a way to meet—and Canada would be the perfect neutral ground—but given the brevity of the king and queen's trip and everything else we know, I think it's very unlikely."
In case you need a refresher on the recorded interview, the duke opened up about his strained relationship with the king and discussed his desire to reconcile.
Harry said, "I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point in continuing to fight anymore. Life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has. He won't speak to me because of this security stuff, but it would be nice to reconcile."
While the prince has been candid about the state of their relationship in past interviews, King Charles has not addressed this publicly.
It may feel like a stretch to predict a happy reunion between the two royals in North America, but here's hoping this painful rift doesn't stretch on for much longer.

Lulu insists she has always been very a 'private' person she reflects on childhood 'shame'
Lulu has always been a "very private" person. The 76-year-old singer shot to fame as a teenager in the 1960s with her now-signature song Shout but insisted that "nobody knows" who she really is because she has always been "very careful" when it comes to choosing what she reveals about herself. Speaking on BBC's The One Show, she said: "A friend of mine once said to me 'People think they know Lulu, but nobody knows you...' and I think it's partly to do with the fact that I come from a Scottish mother who said 'Don't wash your dirty linen in public!' "So I was very...I've always been very careful, very private. I'm chatty, but I keep a lot of things to myself, so now I'm talking about everything." The Eurovision star is heading out on tour across the UK in October to discuss her life, and explained that she has only decided to do so now because she comes from a generation where there was "a lot of shame" associated with talking about issues but things have since changed. She said: "This is mainly because the landscape has changed. When I was young, when my mother was young, you didn't talk [about things]. Everything was a secret, and there was a lot of shame because you didn't talk about stuff but today talk about things and I think it's healthier. Some overshare, but hopefully I won't! All the ups and downs I've had - and I've had a life, let's put it like that - I've had an amazing, amazing life but I've also had certain things in my life that I've never discussed. "When I go on stage, on my tour, I'm gonna have very special people ask questions on stage about my life, and I'm gonna reveal stuff, how I've come through certain things. "Maybe people can relate to it, and if I've managed to come through it, maybe it will help someone else. That's the way it is today and it is so much healthier."
