Four days have passed since King Charles III met with his son Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.<\/p>\n

Since that emotional evening, Harry has continued with the purpose of his royal visit to Britain. He met with children who lost a parent in military service, won a wheelchair rugby exhibition match and even found himself in a water balloon fight. In the coming days, Harry and his family, who were not seen in public, are expected to return to their home in Los Angeles, apparently without meeting his older brother, Prince William, or William\u2019s family.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrince William understands his father\u2019s decision to meet with Harry and his family, but he has no plans to reconnect with his brother,\u201d royal expert Kinsey Schofield said. \u201cHe understands that a father living with cancer wants to see his son and grandchildren, but he still believes Harry has not earned his way back into the family.\u201d<\/p>\n

William is next in line to the throne, and some believe the future king\u2019s top priority is to protect the monarchy at all costs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe question William is asking himself is not, \u2018Is Harry part of the family?\u2019 but \u2018Can he be trusted?\u2019 One afternoon at Highgrove certainly does not answer that question,\u201d Schofield said. \u201cCharles can afford to think about legacy. William has to think about the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Buckingham Palace confirmed last Friday that King Charles and Queen Camilla had hosted the Sussexes. It was the first time in four years that Charles, 77, had met his grandchildren.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe meeting, emotional as it was, does not mean the past will be forgotten, and it certainly does not mean the palace should forget everything that has happened in recent years,\u201d Schofield said. \u201cA father can forgive, but a king still has to protect the crown. One meeting is easy. Rebuilding trust is much harder.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Four days have passed since King Charles III met with his son Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and their…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":540707,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[458,146,85,46],"class_list":["post-540706","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/540706","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=540706"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/540706\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/540707"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=540706"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=540706"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=540706"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
