The relationship between Prince Harry and King Charles is not set for a reconciliation in the immediate future, according to insights from a royal author. Following the Duke of Sussex's exit from the Royal Family in 2020 and his subsequent criticisms of it, tensions have escalated between father and son. Although there were glimmers of hope for improvement after Harry returned home in February due to Charles's health announcement and managed a brief visit, optimism has since waned.
After that meeting, Harry expressed his gratitude for being able to visit his father and emphasized his love for his family in an interview. However, by summer, reports circulated indicating that King Charles was not responding to Harry's calls, reducing expectations for a resolution between them.
Royal author Robert Hardman has shed light on the current situation, revealing that Charles is being advised to refrain from engaging with Harry's outreach. In his comments to Fox News, Hardman explained that the priority is to keep the King’s stress levels manageable, suggesting that now is not the right moment for reconciliation. He pointed out that there is a lot for Harry to address from his previous public statements, which complicates the relationship. Ultimately, while the King may desire to restore normalcy, the time is not deemed appropriate for moving forward. Buckingham Palace and Harry’s representatives have chosen not to comment on this unfolding situation.

I really hope they can find a way to fix this! Family should always come first.

Some conflicts just can’t be resolved. Maybe it's time to accept that this relationship is beyond repair.

At this point, it's clearer than ever that reconciliation isn’t in the cards. Better for Charles to focus on what’s important.

I appreciate that Charles is trying to manage his stress. Family relationships can be complicated.

Harry is more interested in media sympathy than fixing family ties. This is so sad, yet predictable.
