Prince Harry Faces Setback in Reconciliation Hopes with King Charles, Says Royal Expert
Prince Harry’s chances of reconciling with his father, King Charles III, may be fading, according to royal commentator Robert Hardman. The expert warns that recent comments made by the Duke of Sussex have further strained already fragile relations within the royal family.
Writing for the Daily Mail, Hardman stated that hopes for a full reconciliation between King Charles and Prince Harry have “receded further,” particularly following Harry’s emotional remarks during a BBC interview in May.
Royal Circle 'Appalled' by Harry's Comments on King Charles' Health
During the interview, Prince Harry expressed a desire to mend ties with his family, saying, “I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point in continuing to fight anymore.” However, it was his comments about King Charles’ health that reportedly sparked concern.
“Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has,” Harry said, referencing the monarch's ongoing health challenges. He added, “He won’t speak to me because of this security stuff, but it would be nice to reconcile.”
According to Hardman, senior members of the royal household were “frankly appalled” by what they saw as a “glib” and inappropriate choice of words when discussing the King’s health so publicly.
Royal Aides Hold Private Talks Amid Speculation of Reunion
Amid these tensions, reports have surfaced that aides to both King Charles and Prince Harry recently met in London, sparking renewed speculation about a potential face-to-face meeting between father and son.
Sources suggest that Prince Harry could reunite with the King as early as September, during a planned visit to the UK. If it happens, it would mark their first in-person meeting in 19 months.
Will September Bring a Royal Reunion?
Despite the strained relationship and public missteps, insiders say that both sides remain open to rebuilding bridges — but time may be running out.
With King Charles focusing on his royal duties while continuing to manage his health, and Harry's life firmly established in California, the gap between them appears wider than ever.
Only time will tell whether September brings a long-awaited reunion — or yet another missed opportunity.
