Prince Harry is reportedly preparing an urgent return to the UK in July, with sources saying he hopes to bring Meghan Markle and their two children back with him as he steps up work around the Invictus Games in Birmingham next year. But the picture remains unsettled, and the most sensitive piece of the royal jigsaw, a possible meeting with King Charles, is still far from guaranteed.
Harry's relationship with the wider royal family has been strained for years, further hardened by his memoir Spare and his public criticisms of palace life. What had once looked like a steady drift towards distance has now become a more awkward question of logistics, security and whether any reunion can happen without another round of public damage.
