'Emotional' King Charles may invite Prince Harry for 'extra special' Christmas

King Charles is expected to invite his estranged son Prince Harry to celebrate Christmas with the family despite ongoing tensions with heir to throne Prince William, the royal expert has claimed.

Speaking to the Fox News Digital, royal expert said "I doubt an invitation for Prince Harry would be off the table entirely should the king really want to be with his birth family.”

"Charles has always felt he’s left the door open emotionally," Matta said. 

"But the reality is that tensions with Prince William remain unresolved. The idea that he wants this Christmas to be ‘extra special’ makes sense — not because it’s necessarily his last, but because he’s acutely aware of time and legacy. For the royals, the unique blend of tradition and togetherness at Christmas acts as a reset button."

The royal expert went on saying no one really knows the full extent of the monarch’s health struggles, other than the fact that they are ongoing.

"After such a turbulent year — with family rifts, Andrew’s removal of titles, and his own ongoing treatment, now dragging into its third year — understandably, he’d want to make this Christmas feel meaningful."

Matta added there has been a clear effort by the royal family to rally around him, especially from Queen Camilla.

"Princess Kate’s recovery, too, has lifted his spirits; seeing her regain her strength after a difficult year would give anyone in his position a sense of hope."

The royal expert made these remarks after the Us Weekly, citing royal insiders, recently reported King Charles wants to make this Christmas season extra special.

The royal source said, “Charles prioritizes duty, but he’s also a family man who knows his time is precious.

"He wants a special last Christmas in case it’s his last."
