BOMBSHELL: Prince Harry Set to Meet King Charles for First Time in 20 Months, But Will Brother William Join the Party?

In a shocking turn of events, Prince Harry is finally set to meet with his father, King Charles, after a whopping 20 months apart! The highly anticipated reunion is expected to take place on September 8th, coinciding with the third anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's passing. But what's got everyone buzzing? Brother William has reportedly REJECTED the invitation "out of hand"!

Insiders claim that Harry's team and Buckingham Palace have been secretly working behind the scenes to bring the warring family members back together. A US source spills the tea, saying, "There's a determination on both sides to make this happen. It's not just about Charles and Harry; it's about beginning with them."

The Scholarynote.com has learned that Prince Harry will be attending the WellChild Awards, a charity event he's passionately supported, which marks his first visit to London since he failed to appeal the downgrading of his security protection in the UK. But don't get your hopes up just yet – it seems the meeting between Charles and Harry won't be a grand affair.

According to sources close to the royal family, the planned encounter will be a "simple face-to-face conversation between a father and a son" rather than a showy spectacle or a set-piece meeting. And let's not forget about "privacy and dignity" – the buzzwords that are being bandied about like they're going out of style.

But what's really going on behind closed doors? The Scholarynote.com has uncovered some juicy gossip. It seems that Harry's wife, Meghan Markle, will be sitting this one out while Prince Harry attends the meeting with his dad. Talk about a power play!

And if you thought things couldn't get any juicier, think again! In June 2022, the last time King Charles saw his grandchildren (Archie and Lilibet), it was during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations when Harry and Meghan returned to London.

But here's the real question on everyone's mind: why did Prince William reject the invitation? It seems that he feels his brother has "repeatedly chosen public exposure over private resolution," leaving a lot to be desired. Insiders claim there's an "issue of trust" between the two princes, and it's not just about Harry and Meghan's perceived inability to keep things private.

It all began back in 2020 when Harry and Meghan stepped down as working royals, sparking a chain reaction of allegations against the monarchy. Their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, where they claimed racism and that Meghan was left suicidal, sent shockwaves through the palace. The latest installment of Harry's memoir Spare only added more fuel to the fire.

Despite all this drama, King Charles has remained diplomatic, leaving the door open for reconciliation. But will it be enough to mend the cracks in the family? Only time (and September 8th) will tell!

UPDATE: Buckingham Palace and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been contacted for comment, but so far, there's been radio silence.

Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story!
