Prince Harry back in UK, but will he see his father King Charles?

Prince Harry returns to Britain this week amid speculation that he might visit his father, King Charles, for the first time in about 20 months in tentative steps towards a family reconciliation.



On Monday, which also happens to be the third anniversary of the death of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, Harry will attend the WellChild Awards, an annual charity event for seriously ill children for which he is a longtime supporter and one of the rare events which bring him back to Britain.



The visit has left media and royal commentators postulating that it will provide an opportunity for the 76-year-old monarch and his son to see each other and start healing their high-profile rift.



"There is talk, growing talk, that he might well meet up with his father," said Simon Perry, who covers the royal family in London for People magazine.



"I think with any time Prince Harry comes close or relatively close to his father, and they can be in the same country, there's going to be talk that they might well get together."
