King Charles has recently touched down in London as speculation mounts on a potential meeting with his youngest son, Prince Harry. The 76-year-old monarch landed at RAF Northolt this afternoon, as he arrives for his weekly cancer treatment.
His arrival in the capital comes just hours after Prince Harry was snapped arriving at Imperial College London on Wednesday afternoon to visit its Centre for Blast Injury Studies. The Duke has a close affiliation with the institution, having opened its laboratories in 2013. The prince looked dapper in a navy blazer, a light blue shirt, and navy suede loafers. He waved as he made his way into the building.
Harry’s return to London today has sparked speculation about whether he will have a meeting with his father, the King, who is also back in the capital from Scotland for his weekly cancer treatment and meeting with the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer. Charles is understood to have hopped in a chopper this afternoon.
He was also seen being greeted and hugging British Paralympic medallist David Henson.
Mr Henson is a veterans’ advisor to the Centre for Blast Injury Studies. He has also represented Britain at Prince Harry‘s Invictus Games.
It comes as speculation mounts on whether Harry will meet his father today.
The monarch recently left Balmoral and is heading to the capital. The pair last met in February 2024, when the Duke rushed back to Britain following Charles’s cancer diagnosis announcement.
Neither side has either confirmed nor denied a meeting during Harry’s visit.
The Duke is estranged from his older brother, the Prince of Wales, who is in Cardiff today to learn about a pioneering mental health hub on World Suicide Prevention Day, with no prospect of the pair meeting.
Yesterday, the prince was in Nottingham to visit the Community Recording Studio (CRS) and announce his £1.1 million personal donation to BBC Children in Need to support young people affected by youth violence.
On Monday, he attended the annual WellChild awards, which recognise seriously ill children for their efforts to succeed and thrive despite life-threatening conditions.
