Since King Charles III’s cancer diagnosis, all eyes have been on the British royal family. There have been a number of developments in the House of Windsor over the course of the last few days alone, including Prince Harry‘s recent trip to the United Kingdom to visit his father. The father-son meeting, however, was extraordinarily brief. And one royal expert believes this significant family member’s presence may have been part of the reason for the meeting’s length.
According to royal expert Robert Jobson, Queen Camilla might have played a part in the quick meeting. “The Queen was with the King,” Jobson said, per Marie Clairevia The Sun. “Let’s be honest—he [Harry] wasn’t too complimentary about Queen Camilla in his book, Spare. He wasn’t very complimentary about her on Netflix. They don’t get on.”

Indeed, there may have been a lot of tension in the room if Queen Camilla was present for Harry’s reunion with his father. But there’s also more to it. “The royals do stick to a pretty military clock,” Jobson said. “You have to get the helicopter pilot there, all these things. So his plans had to be changed. The one thing the King doesn’t like is changing his plans. He gave him long enough for a kiss and a hug and wished him all the best.” King Charles and Queen Camilla reportedly left Clarence House for Sandringham after the meeting.
Jobson also conceded there simply has “not been a lot of contact” between Harry and his father over the course of the last few years. As much as we’d like to believe that, in a moment like this, those feelings can be put aside, it is much easier said than done. The important element of this entire story, though, is that Prince Harry was there for his father, even if only for a brief meeting.
Other royal experts feel that Harry and King Charles’ reunion could spell the end of the royal feud, at least between the father and son. Whether the relationship between Harry and his older brother Prince William will ever recover is another concern all together. But this royal expert’s insight may clue us in just a bit more as to why this reunion was so short-lived.
