Prince Harry has taken an unexpected step for a reunion and reportedly offered to share his diary with the British royal family in an attempt to “deconflict.” In recent weeks, there have been reports about the Duke of Sussex trying to mend the bridges after years of estrangement. In the latest reported developments, Harry’s team could be working on a diary-sharing arrangement to avoid date clashes. This can even mean potentially fixing a date to meet his father, King Charles.
Prince Harry reportedly shared his official diary with the royal family
A new report has claimed that Prince Harry has offered to share his official diary amid attempts at reconciliation with the British royal family. Earlier this month, there was an alleged schedule conflict. This occurred when the Duke of Sussex’s trip to the African country of Angola coincided with Queen Camilla’s birthday. Harry walked through a minefield in the same place as Princess Diana did 28 years ago.
The photos of the duke retracing his late mother’s footsteps took over the newspapers in the United Kingdom. As a result, Camilla’s 78th birthday portrait did not make the front pages. The schedule conflict has now reportedly led to a diary-sharing arrangement between the households of Harry and King Charles. The Daily Mail exclusively learned from a source that the Duke of Sussex has “shifted into a new way of thinking.”
Meanwhile, the latest development comes after Harry’s aides met the king’s head of communications in London. Before this, according to the source, “conflicts of interest or clashes of publicity were relished and even perhaps encouraged by the Sussexes.” However, they stated that the “tone is now all about ‘deconflicting’ with his family.” The source continued that this is why Harry’s household has “agreed to draw up a ‘grid’ of his activities.”
The official diary will reportedly be shared with Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace. The Daily Mail source also stated that Harry “still doesn’t like being controlled by the Royal machinery.” They alleged that this is not going to “change.” However, the diary arrangement will allow the royal family to have “full sight of his movements.” The source continued that this way, the palace can “at least plan accordingly.”
The source further added, “It’s a significant gesture.” The Daily Mail report also notes that the move to “deconflict” the diaries could lead to a potential reunion between Prince Harry and King Charles.
