Prince Harry’s ‘secret move’ in the UK was clear ‘sign’ he ‘wants to remain part of royal family’

The Duke of Sussex visited some family members in Britain

Prince Harry was busy with charitable engagements and having a meeting with King Charles during his UK trip this month.

The Duke of Sussex, 41, travelled to Britain to attend the WellChild Awards on September 8. A couple of days later, Harry visited his father, King Charles, at Clarence House, the king’s London residence.

It’s said they enjoyed a “private tea” for around 55 minutes. More details have since emerged, with Harry’s team revealing “a framed photograph was handed over” during the meeting.

During his return to the UK, Prince Harry also reportedly paid a visit to another family member which seemed to be a “sign” that he wants a reconciliation with the royals.

Prince Harry ‘visited’ Duke of Kent during UK trip

According to reports, Harry visited the Duke of Kent following the death of his wife, Katharine, Duchess of Kent, on September 4.

A source close to the duke told HELLO! that he “travelled privately to Kensington Palace to offer condolences” to the Duke of Kent – Queen Elizabeth II’s cousin – in person before leaving the UK.

I think it’s a sign that Harry very much wants to remain part of the royal family.

Harry didn’t attend the duchess’ funeral service on September 16.

Now, according to royal commentator Jennie Bond, this move from Harry proves he “very much wants to remain part of the royal family”.

‘Sign’ Harry wants family reconciliation

Speaking to the Mirror, Jennie said: “I think it’s a sign that Harry very much wants to remain part of the royal family. But that doesn’t mean he wants to be part of the institution.

“Family ties seem to mean a lot to him these days, in spite of the damage he has done and the hurt he has caused.”

She went on to say that the Duke and Duchess of Kent were “part of his life for many years”, both attending Harry’s 2018 wedding to Meghan Markle.

Jennie added of Harry’s visit: “I think he felt it important to go to see the Duke and express his condolences personally — I’m sure he felt it was a natural thing to do. We know that he is seeking reconciliation, and this was just another small step to show that he does still care about his relatives, even though his life is now elsewhere.”

‘There’s no point in continuing to fight any more’

Harry’s recent meeting with King Charles, who is undergoing treatment for cancer, has sparked speculation that a reconciliation between father and son could be on the horizon.

They’ve said to have had a strained relationship for some years now, following Harry and Meghan’s decision to step back from being working royals in 2020.

Harry has also spoken about his father, and other family members including brother Prince William, in tell-all interviews and his memoir, Spare.

However, in May of this year, Harry expressed a desire to reconcile with his family. He told the BBC: “I would love reconciliation with my family.

“There’s no point in continuing to fight any more. Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has.”

Are Harry and Charles finally on the path to a reconciliation?
