Harry is expected to participate in multiple engagements and contribute a significant sum to the broadcaster’s charity to aid its efforts in combating violence against young people.
It remains unclear whether the Duke, who is alienated from his brother, the Prince of Wales, and maintains a strained relationship with his father, the King, will orchestrate a family reunion during his visit. However, a PR specialist believes Harry should request a friend or close relative to facilitate a meeting with his father.
Eric Schiffer, chairman of Reputation Management Consultants, told Newsweek, “It’s vitally important for his feeling and his desire to have a real relationship with his dad. “The challenge is there’s such a big trust gap that naturally is going to get amplified by all the players that surround both of them, that it creates this emotional hurdle.

“The only way he’s really going to make that happen is for you and I and everyone else to never know about it.”
Mr Schiffer suggested that if Harry truly wishes to reconnect with his father, he’ll need to do so “off the radar” marking their first meeting since the King’s cancer diagnosis was announced last February, reports the Express.
The expert elaborated, “It has to be done in a back-channel way that is off radar.
“If he does that and he’s sincere about it and he’s consistent and he’s emotionally mature, I think there’s a way for him to rebuild a relationship, but the onus is on him to build and show that he can maintain and respect the privacy of the king and his confidence.”
He continued, “I think the way to get this done is going to be different than through palace aides. You have to find some relationship that Harry can count on, and that will trust Harry to deliver for them, to put their capital with the king.
“It will need to be done through family or a very close personal friend of Charles who Harry still has a relationship with.
“Doing it through palace aides is not the way to get this done because it then has the potential to invite others and then the king naturally is going to be protective.
“He doesn’t want to look foolish. Harry’s going to need to deliver and to feel emotionally ready to deliver.”
