PRINCE Harry is expected to have a second reunion with King Charles when the pair have events two miles apart in London next week.
The Duke of Sussex, 39, will be at St Paul’s Cathedral for an Invictus Games ceremony and is understood to be “very keen” to see his dad.

They chatted for 30 minutes in February — days after the King’s cancer diagnosis.
The King, 75, recently cleared to resume public duties as he is treated for cancer, is expected to attend the year’s first Buckingham Palace garden party from 4pm.
Both events will finish around 6pm, clearing the way for a first meeting since Harry’s whistle-stop trip in early February.
A royal source told The Sun: “Harry is normally 5,000 miles away in California but by happy coincidence on Wednesday they will be just two miles apart.
“It’s clear he is keen to see his father as he continues his recovery and most people expect another reunion of some kind next week.”
The potential meeting is unlikely to include Prince William, who has been stung by his brother’s attacks and has not spoken to him since Queen Elizabeth’s funeral.
William will be away from the capital on Thursday, and on Friday has engagements in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
Meghan is not expected to join Harry at the cathedral.
The Sussexes have been invited to Nigeria later this month for talks about the Games.
Yesterday the King made a surprise visit to the Royal Windsor Horse Show in the castle grounds. He got a hug and kiss from niece Zara Tindall, and joked with riders taking part in the contests.

In the evening he returned for a display by the King’s Troop, Royal Horse Artillery.

‘Reunifying’
He was whisked into Clarence House, London, but left 45 minutes later — and is thought to have had just half an hour with his father.
The King, who had begun cancer treatment, delayed his helicopter trip to Sandringham so he could speak with his son.
Harry spent the night in a hotel and flew back to the US the next day.
The Sun on Sunday revealed he was prevented from joining his father in Norfolk amid fears “they’d never get rid of him”. February was the first time Harry had met his dad since last May’s Coronation.
He and Meghan quit the UK for North America after stepping down as senior royals in early 2020.

They set up home in Montecito with son Archie, who turns five on Monday, and daughter Lilibet, two.
Harry has not returned to the UK with his family since the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June 2022. He and Meghan had aimed to heal any rifts with the royals in a year of reconciliation in 2023.
But they continued to make misjudged attacks in their Netflix series, in Harry’s memoir Spare, and TV interviews.
Harry recently told ABC’s Good Morning America his latest visit to the King could have a “reunifying” effect, replying: “Yeah I’m sure.”
