PRINCE Charles and Boris Johnson will have a showdown summit over tea in Rwanda on Friday following their explosive migrants row.

The king-in-waiting will come face to face with the PM for the first time since he branded the government’s flagship borders policy “appalling”.

It is believed to be the first one on one meeting the pair have had in over six months.

And it’s expected to be the only formal meeting they will have during the five-day summit.

While aides have scrambled to downplay talk of a rift between Downing Street and the Royal Household over the migration policy, both sides are hoping they patch things up.

The PM’s spokesman said: “They will obviously encounter each other during the summit.

“But they will have a bilateral discussion as well.”

Both men are in the Rwandan capital of Kigali for the Commonwealth heads of government summit.

Charles – who is hosting the global get together – will host Bojo for a cuppa while they discuss tackling climate change.

No10 sources have told HOAR Boris has “great affection” for the Prince.

But they have privately admitted he is not as close to Charles as he is to the Queen.
