King Charles flies home to London as Prince Harry reunion could be hours away

King Charles has sparked speculation that he will meet his son, Prince Harry, who is currently back in the UK. New reports claimed the monarch is flying back to London from Scotland this week.

The King, who is at Balmoral until the end of the month, will reportedly return from his Scottish break at the same time that Harry is back on UK soil. The Duke of Sussex came back to Britain this week to attend a series of engagements linked to his charities and patronages during his four-day visit.

On Monday night, he attended the WellChild awards in London.

While Harry will be away in Nottingham today to carry out various engagements, he will be back in London by Wednesday afternoon to visit Imperial College's Centre for Blast Injury Studies.

While the King's alleged schedule in London for this week is unknown, the Sun reported that his arrival could offer the pair a great chance to finally meet.

Harry last met with his father last February, after he dashed back home following the announcement of the monarch's cancer diagnosis.

Buckingham Palace has been contacted for comment.

On Monday, Harry paid tribute to the seriously ill children and young people recognised by the charity WellChild as a "beacon of hope and inspiration".

Harry ended a night of celebration by telling the awards winners to "keep fighting. Keep smiling" as the charity honoured their efforts to succeed and thrive despite life-threatening conditions.

Ahead of the awards, celebrating their 20th anniversary, the duke, who has been patron of the charity for 17 years, met the recipients in the central London hotel hosting the event and spoke about the "challenging" relationship between siblings.

The duke, who is WellChild's patron, told the winners during the presentation ceremony "this is your moment".

He added: "While we reflect on 20 years of these awards, the truth is that you are the story. You are the reason we gather here.

"Each of you is a beacon of hope and inspiration, not just to those in this room, but to the nation. Keep fighting. Keep smiling. And above all, keep showing us what strength, courage and joy really look like."
