King Charles, Prince Harry's reunion in US: 2026 to bridge royal divide

King Charles III's upcoming visit to the US has sparked hope for a heartfelt reunion with Prince Harry.

After a positive cancer update, an official state visit by King Charles and his wife Queen Camilla is expected to take place in April 2026 during America's 250th birthday celebrations. 

The 77-year-old's first visit as monarch may see father-son duo together in America, opening the new chapter of the royal reconciliation.

Charles' last visit to the United States was in December 2018, when he attended the funeral of former President George H.W. Bush in Washington, D.C.

He has not made an official state visit to the US since accending to trhe throne in September 2022. 

King Charles is set to increase his overseas trips as his cancer treatment will scale back in the next year.

The monarch made two foreign tours last year. He visited Italy and Canada following a cancer diagnosis in February 2024. His ability to travel has been affected by the need for weekly treatment, though it is understood this will change in the New Year.

His first overseas trip in April will see him travel to America, where he is expected to meet President Donald Trump. The visit will coincide with the 250th anniversary of American independence from British rule.

The trip may open doors of reconciliation on Harry, who's expected to welcome his dad at airport with his family along with the US officials.

Charles’ presence in the country will increas the likelihood of a meeting with Harry.

Later in the year, in November, the King is due to fly to Antigua and Barbuda to attend the biennial Commonwealth Heads of Government summit. Charles recently shared what he described as "good news" that his cancer treatment schedule will be reduced in the New Year.
