The reunion of King Charles and Henry sparks speculation of reconciliation

The Duke of Sussex's rush to meet his father after the shocking news of his cancer diagnosis is seen as a testament to the bond that remains between the two estranged family members.

Hopes for a thaw in relations arise after Harry's decision to step down as a royal in 2020 severely strained his relationship with his brother and father.

He barely spoke to his two closest relatives: Charles and the Prince of Wales. Charles' health scare has prompted his daughter to return to the UK, indicating the potential for reconciliation between father and son when there is contact, royal commentators have said.

However, Harry and William remain estranged. The Prince of Wales reportedly has no intention of meeting his brother during his brief visit.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams said he hopes “something positive will come out of news that has been a terrible shock”.
