King Charles to take huge decision to protect public image: Expert

King Charles may be open to making peace with Prince Harry but not just out of fatherly love, a royal expert has claimed.

Writing for News.com.au, Daniela Elser claimed that the Buckingham Palace is planning a reunion between the monarch and the Duke of Sussex.

This possible reunion could happen in 2027 when Harry is scheduled to visit UK for the Invictus Games, set to take place at Birmingham.

According to the expert, the reason why Charles would be interested in making amends with Harry is to protect his own public image.

Harry has visited London four times in the last 15 months, and the King hasn’t met him once, however, after his recent BBC interview where he said he wants reconciliation, the Palace reportedly did quiet polling to see how the public feels, per The Telegraph.

They found out that people think the silence from Charles isn’t helping his image. “There is an awareness that the impasse cannot continue forever, not least if it starts to reflect badly on the King,” the report read.

Commenting on this, Elser penned, “The more cynical amongst you might be wondering why Charles might be interested in making things up with the duke and you would be right to.”

“After all, in the last 15 months Harry has been in London on four separate occasions and His Majesty has not made time to see him once.

“Instead, Charles’ sudden openness to possibly make things up with Harry is reportedly motivated less out of, seemingly, tender paternal feeling and more out of cold-eyed pragmatism about the possible damage being done to King’s reputation,” Elser speculated.

“What the Games represent is a natural opening for Charles to turn a possible lemon into lemonade.”
