Prince Harry and King Charles are likely to take the next step in mending their relationship when the duke visits the UK next week and another senior royal will be present while they do so.
The 39-year-old prince is set to give a reading at St Paul's Cathedral on May 8 for a special celebration to honour the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.
Royal expert Tom Quinn believes that Harry is likely to set aside time to see his father while he's in London following the monarch's cancer diagnosis earlier this year.

Speaking to the Mirror, Quinn said: "It's going to be very difficult for Harry to come to the UK and not visit his stricken father, King Charles."
He also believes the father and son duo will have a longer meeting than they did last time the Duke of Sussex visited.
Harry raced back to the UK in February after Charles' cancer diagnosis was made public.
It was the first time the estranged prince had seen his father in months but their reunion is said to have only lasted 30 minutes.
It was the first time Harry had seen his father in months, but their reunion is said to have lasted just 30 minutes.
Quinn said: "When the two meet it will almost certainly be a longer meeting than last time when father and son spent just 30 minutes together, but Camilla is likely to be there simply because she feels so protective of her husband and won’t want him to be upset at such a difficult time.
"Also, despite much that has been written, Camila is exceptionally diplomatic and good at dealing with difficult situations and difficult people.
