Prince William is gearing up for a significant week, unrelated to his brother Prince Harry’s upcoming visit to London.
Towards the week’s end, Prince William will undertake his inaugural official trip to the Isles of Scilly since assuming the role of Duke of Cornwall.
Scheduled engagements include stops in Newquay on Thursday and the Isles of Scilly the following day. Speculation abounds among royal observers regarding a potential encounter between the two brothers, given their strained relationship in recent years.
Reports from The Times suggest that William, 41, has no intention of meeting with his brother Harry and instead will be in Windsor to preside over an investiture.
Last week, it was confirmed that the Duke of Sussex will be in London for a Thanksgiving service at St Paul’s Cathedral, commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, which he founded in 2014.
Interestingly, this event coincides with Buckingham Palace’s hosting of The King’s Garden Party, marking the season’s inaugural gathering.
Harry, 39, will be making his first trip to the UK since visiting his father King Charles in February following the announcement of the King’s cancer diagnosis, which was made less than 24 hours prior by Buckingham Palace.
The short reunion was the first meaningful time father and son had spent together since the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022.
Meanwhile, Prince William will reportedly increase his diary of public engagements over the next two months before his children go on summer holiday in July and August.
