With Prince Harry reportedly traveling to London early this month on the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s death, the news of him reuniting with his estranged dad, King Charles III, is circulating in the media. However, sources have claimed that the Duke of Sussex is seemingly not ready to meet his father until a few of his demands are fulfilled.
Prince Harry has set forth 3 conditions before meeting with King Charles, says source
All eyes are now on Prince Harry’s London visit on September 8 for the annual WellChild Awards. It is taking place on the death anniversary of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. With the visit, many are expecting Harry to reunite with his father, King Charles, for the first time in almost two years. However, palace insiders have told Rob Shuter’s #ShuterScoop that the Duke of Sussex has set forth three conditions before meeting the monarch. In case his demands are not met, their reunion might be in jeopardy.
According to the source, “Harry doesn’t want another trip where he feels unprotected and exposed.” Hence, this time, he wants “iron-clad guarantees — not vague promises.” So, as his first two demands, he has asked for “security and privacy,” which are “non-negotiable.” Harry wants security for his family when he arrives in the United Kingdom. Additionally, it has to be funded by the king. He also does not want any paparazzi around his family during their visit. The press control has to be coordinated by the palace.
But it is the third condition which has apparently baffled the palace courtiers. “Harry insists Meghan must be treated as HRH,” as per the insider. The Duke of Sussex wants his family members to show his wife “the formal respect of bows and curtsies,” despite her stepping down from her royal duties. However, it seems difficult, as for his brother, Prince William, “that’s a hard no.”
Looking at the demand of his youngest son, Charles is reportedly taken aback. “He wants peace and to see his son,” claimed a palace veteran. But “these demands risk blowing open old wounds.” A courtier further added that although Harry is “offering reconciliation,” it comes “at a price. And that price includes the entire royal family bowing to Meghan,” which not everyone is happy about.
