On a damp Wednesday morning in Cardiff, at a poignant event marking World Suicide Prevention Day, the Prince of Wales spoke his mind. What we need to “get back to in society”, he said, is “people really seeing each other and reaching each other”. For Prince William and Prince Harry, estranged for three years, there was no hope last week that Harry’s four-day visit would involve either brother reaching out.
But reconciliation between father and son has moved the dial. How far, nobody knows but Harry and the King. There has been no post-match analysis from either camp about their 50-minute tea at Clarence House on Wednesday afternoon and, unlike after previous meetings, no words from Harry about the state of the relationship, other than to tell the media at an Invictus reception that his father was “great”.
