Royal fans have long been hoping for a thaw in the frosty relationship between King Charles and Prince Harry.

Many viewed the 2027 Invictus Games as a hopeful setting for a reconciliation—but according to one royal commentator, the wait may not be that long after all.

Royal expert Kinsey Schofield has suggested that the father and son could reunite much sooner—possibly as early as September during the WellChild Awards. “It could happen in September, during the WellChild Awards,” Schofield told Sky News Australia. “A quick meet and greet with Charles and Harry, depending on the King’s schedule.”

Prince Harry, a long-standing patron of the WellChild charity, is expected to attend the annual event which honors and supports seriously ill children and their families. His presence has already been confirmed.

Whether King Charles will be there remains uncertain, as the royal household will be occupied preparing for the upcoming state visit from U.S. President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.

Years of Tension Between Father and Son

Tensions between Charles and Harry have been well-documented since Harry and Meghan stepped away from royal duties in 2020 and relocated to California. Their public revelations about royal life only deepened the divide. Harry has shared that he wishes to reconnect, but also admitted his father no longer takes his calls.

Despite ongoing strain, royal watchers remain optimistic. Many have pointed to the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham—a project close to Harry’s heart—as the ideal setting for a public reconciliation. Still, Schofield’s remarks raise hopes that the process could begin even earlier.
