Prince Harry seemingly wants to mend fences with King Charles and end the royal family feud before it’s too late. Reports previously stated that the Duke of Sussex is making efforts to patch things up with his family. However, a royal family friend recently claimed that Harry initiated his bid to settle the rift to avoid the “guilt” of never seeing his father again. The king has been receiving cancer treatment and hasn’t met his younger son in over a year.
Prince Harry would be ‘riddled with guilt’ if he never met King Charles, ‘royal family friend’ claims
Page Six exclusively learned about Prince Harry and King Charles’ possible reunion after last week’s secret aides’ meeting. A royal family friend, Hugo Vickers, claimed that “the ball is in Harry’s court” in his bid to reconcile with his family. Vickers suggested that the Duke of Sussex will be “riddled with guilt” if he never meets the king. So, the dad of two should apologize to his family and ask “for forgiveness,” not vice versa.
Last week, staff members for the Sussexes and King Charles’ top aide secretly met in London in an attempt at reconciliation. It reportedly took place at a private members’ club called the Royal Over-Seas League. Vickers claimed that the meeting was likely to discuss “routine things,” adding that a reconciliation remains imminent. Nevertheless, the family friend believes Harry won’t return to royal duties and thinks mending fences would be a positive step.
Prince Harry and King Charles last met in early 2024 when he announced his cancer diagnosis amid the royal family feud. The Duke of Sussex has previously made his intentions for a reconciliation abundantly clear. Now, other sources believe that Harry, Meghan Markle, and their kids — Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet — might visit the king in Balmoral. It’s the Scottish estate where he spends time every August.
