Prince Harry's reconciliation attempts amidst royal family crisis: More futile than hopeful?
King Charles III's cancer diagnosis not only rocked the Palace and his subjects, but it has also profoundly affected his closest family. Soon, he will be succeeded by Prince William, who currently has his concerns following Kate Middleton's recent medical procedure. On the contrary, Prince Harry has returned to London and has had an opportunity to converse briefly with the monarch.
What are Prince Harry's plans? Media speculations are rife
Reports suggest that the meeting between father and son was less than harmonious, and any hopes of reconciliation within the famous family are currently on hold. Charles and Camilla reportedly only spent 45 minutes discussing with Harry, and Prince William has no intention of establishing a meeting with his brother. According to ' The Mirror ', this reluctance is likely due to a heavy list of responsibilities and providing care for a recuperating Kate and their children.
Still, the same source reports that Harry has a strategy in mind. The tabloid suggests that the former royal plans to stay in England longer to be as close as possible to his father in this challenging time. He also plans to offer his brother his support and aid in managing the king's illness, intending to reunite the brothers. That's the plan, at least. However, William still seems distant.
"Harry hopes to bridge the gap between him and William. He wants to support him as he transitions to more responsibilities due to the king's illness" we find out.
The media speculates that Harry has grown weary of his ongoing feud with his brother and is ready to move past their previous disagreements. Someone close to the former royal told the media that he has the full backing of Meghan Markle. She knows how taxing his feud with his family, particularly William, has been on him.
"He has Meghan's full blessing. She knows how vital his family is to him". The situation is still relatively new, so they are trying to work out the logistics, as Harry's life is predominantly in the United States with his wife and children. "William and Harry have always been there for each other; maybe now is the time to restore their relationship. Their brotherly bond never faded. All they need is time."
However, the Daily Mail reminds readers that Harry is expected to join Meghan in Canada for a function focused on the Invictus Games in Vancouver next week. Therefore, his logistics plans remain uncertain. Moreover, the site suggests that the former royal may not have been offered a stay at Frogmore Cottage, contrary to earlier media reports, but may have rented a room in one of the luxury hotels.
