King Charles is reportedly reluctant to invite Prince Harry to Sandringham this summer if Meghan Markle uses a UK visit to launch her lifestyle brand, As Ever, according to a royal commentator who believes the monarch does not want to appear to endorse a commercial venture. Whether Harry will join the king at the Norfolk estate has become entangled with speculation over Meghan's business plans and the couple's wider effort to reset relations with the royal family.
The possibility of a Sandringham reunion follows reports that Prince Harry hopes to return to Britain later this year to mark the one-year countdown to the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham, the sporting event he founded for wounded service personnel and veterans. The visit, if it goes ahead, would coincide with King Charles and Queen Camilla's expected stay at their Norfolk residence in July, prompting suggestions that father and son might use the overlap to ease a rift that has persisted for years.
