伦敦-伦敦(美联社)哈里王子将于本周对他在英国的慈善机构进行一次飞行访问，这引发了一系列关于他是否会与父亲见面的猜测，查尔斯三世19个月来第一次。
在冰雪消融的迹象中冷淡的关系在哈里和其他皇室成员之间，英国媒体建议哈里王子在周一的伦敦之行三周年伊丽莎白二世女王之死为76岁的查尔斯和他疏远的儿子之间期待已久的和解提供了契机。
哈利很少和他的父亲和哥哥联系，威廉王子，自从他和他的妻子，前梅根汗·马克尔，放弃王室职责，2020年移居加州。这对夫妇在接受网飞电视连续剧《奥普拉·温弗瑞》的采访时向白金汉宫吐露了他们的不满，之后他们的关系变得更加冷淡哈利的回忆录，“备用。”
哈里和查尔斯最后一次见面是在2024年2月，当时王子在收到父亲被诊断患有癌症的消息后飞往伦敦。在国王飞往他的桑德灵汉姆庄园休养之前，哈里王子和查尔斯呆了大约45分钟。
哈利是最后一次是在4月的伦敦当上诉法院驳回他恢复警察保护细节的请求时，这一细节在他停止工作后被取消了。当时查尔斯正在意大利进行国事访问，所以不可能见面。
那个案子本身就是改善关系的障碍，因为它涉及哈里在法庭上批评国王政府。但是一旦结束，改变就成为可能。
案件结束后，哈里立即表示，他将“喜欢与我的家人和解。”
“继续斗争已经没有意义了，”他在法庭案件解决的当天告诉BBC。“生命是宝贵的。我不知道我父亲还能活多久。”
尽管伸出了橄榄枝，哈利还是发出了好斗的语气，这可能会破坏修复家庭破裂的希望。王子一再表示，取消他的安全保障是在王室的指示下做出的，目的是为了控制他和他的妻子，同时将他们的安全置于危险之中。
哈里说:“我努力原谅的，也可能永远努力原谅的，是2020年做出的决定，这个决定影响了我的每一天，故意将我和我的家人置于危险之中。”
但是随着诉讼的结束，来自查尔斯和哈里的支持者的情绪音乐似乎发生了变化。
今年7月，由洛杉矶的梅雷迪思·梅因斯(Meredith Maines)领导的处理哈里和梅根通信的新团队，被看到在伦敦一个私人成员俱乐部的阳台上与国王的新闻代表托比·安德烈(Tobyn Andreae)交谈。《星期日邮报》当场拍了一张照片，报纸称之为:“秘密的哈利和平峰会。”
不管是谁泄露了这份文件，它显示了语气的变化，因为如果所谓的负责人没有给予他们的默许，会议就不会发生。
现在，哈利将于周一晚上出现在伦敦的威尔蔡尔德颁奖典礼上。
该活动旨在庆祝重病儿童和照顾他们的人的勇敢，由哈里长期支持的慈善机构赞助。这提醒人们，就在不久前，哈里还是皇室努力接触更年轻、更多元化的英国人的明星人物之一。
“20年来，这些奖项突出了有复杂健康需求的年轻人的勇气，并照亮了忠诚的照顾者——家庭和专业人士——他们在路上的每一步都支持他们，”王子在该慈善机构发表的一份声明中说他们的故事提醒我们同情、联系和社区的力量。"
但是很难消除哈里和梅根对皇室内部麻木不仁、冲突和种族主义的指控所造成的伤害。
哈里爆炸性的回忆录《备用》(Spare)粉碎了王室呈现给公众的团结外表，将他们描绘成诡计多端的对手，利用与媒体的亲密关系来博取公众的好感。
它还披露了私人谈话的细节，包括国王和他的儿子们之间的一次谈话，那次谈话是在一个墓地举行的，希望对媒体保密。
“拜托，孩子们，”哈利引用查尔斯的话说不要让我的最后几年痛苦不堪。''
但是查尔斯可能有让过去成为过去的动机。
现在，他即将迎来77岁生日，并继续接受癌症治疗，国王可能希望有更多时间与他的孙子们在一起，6岁的阿奇王子和4岁的莉莉贝特公主，她是在父母搬到富裕的南加州蒙特西托飞地后出生的。
哈里把和解的责任推给了他的家人。
哈里在接受英国广播公司采访时说，他认为没有真相就不可能有和解，他对警方保护的诉讼揭示了他与皇宫斗争的真相。
“现在有和解的部分就好了，”他说。"如果他们不想那样，那完全由他们自己决定。"
Prince Harry visits UK, fueling speculation about meeting with king
LONDON --LONDON (AP) —Prince Harrywill make a flying visit to his U.K.-based charities this week, leading to a flurry of speculation about whether he will meet with his father,King Charles III, for the first time in 19 months.
Amid signs of a thaw in thefrigid relationshipbetween Harry and the rest of the royal family, British media suggest that the prince’s trip to London on Monday's third anniversary of thedeath of Queen Elizabeth IIprovides an opening for a long-overdue rapprochement between Charles, 76, and his estranged son.
Harry has had little contact with his father and elder brother,Prince William, since he and his wife, the formerMeghan Markle,gave up royal duties and moved to California in 2020. The relationship became even frostier after the couple bared their grievances with Buckingham Palace in a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey, a Netflix series andHarry’s memoir, “Spare.”
The last time Harry and Charles met was in February 2024, when the prince flew to London after receiving news that his father had been diagnosed with cancer. Harry spent about 45 minutes with Charles before the king flew to his Sandringham country estate to recuperate from his treatment.
Harry waslast in London in April, when the Court of Appeal rejected his bid to restore a police protection detail that was canceled after he stopped being a working royal. Charles was on a state visit to Italy at the time, so a meeting was impossible.
That case was itself an impediment to improved relations because it involved Harry criticizing the king’s government in the courts. But once it was over, change became possible.
Immediately after the case ended, Harry said he would “love reconciliation with my family.”
“There’s no point in continuing to fight anymore,” he told the BBC on the day the court case was resolved. “Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has.”
Despite that olive branch, Harry struck a combative tone that might torpedo hopes of repairing the family breach. The prince repeatedly said that the decision to withdraw his security was made at the direction of the royal household in an effort to control him and his wife while putting their safety at risk.
“What I’m struggling to forgive, and what I will probably always struggle to forgive, is the decision that was made in 2020 that affects my every single day and that is knowingly putting me and my family in harm’s way,” Harry said.
But with the lawsuit out of the way, the mood music coming from Charles and Harry’s supporters seemed to change.
In July, the new team handling Harry and Meghan’s communications, headed by Los Angeles-based Meredith Maines, was seen on the balcony of a private members' club in London speaking with Tobyn Andreae, the king’s press representative. The Mail on Sunday was on hand to snap a photo of what the paper called: “The secret Harry peace summit.”
Regardless of who tipped off the paper, it showed a change of tone since the meeting wouldn’t have happened if the so-called principals hadn’t given their tacit consent.
And now comes Harry’s appearance at the WellChild Awards on Monday night in London.
The event, which celebrates the bravery of seriously ill children and those who care for them, is sponsored by a charity Harry has long supported. It is a reminder that not so long ago, Harry was one of the star attractions of the royal family’s effort to reach out to younger, more diverse Britons.
“For 20 years these Awards have highlighted the courage of young people living with complex health needs and shone a light on the devoted caregivers — family and professionals — who support them every step of the way,’’ the prince said in a statement put out by the charity. “Their stories remind us of the power of compassion, connection and community.”
But it will be hard to undo the damage caused by Harry and Meghan’s allegations of insensitivity, conflict and racism within the royal household.
Harry’s explosive memoir, “Spare,” shattered the veneer of unity the royals present to the public, depicting them as scheming rivals who use a cozy relationship with the media to jockey for public favor.
It also revealed the details of private conversations, including one between the king and his sons, which was held in a graveyard in hopes of hiding it from the press.
“Please, boys,’’ Harry quotes Charles as saying. “Don’t make my final years a misery.’’
But Charles may have an incentive to let bygones be bygones.
Now approaching his 77th birthday and continuing to undergo cancer treatment, the king may want to get more time with his grandchildren, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4, who was born after her parents moved to the wealthy Southern California enclave of Montecito.
Harry put the responsibility for any rapprochement on his family.
In his interview with the BBC, Harry said he believes that you can’t have reconciliation without truth, and his lawsuit over police protection revealed the truth about his battle with the palace.
“It would be nice to have that reconciliation part now,” he said. “If they don’t want that, that’s entirely up to them.”
