Harry has been on the outs with his father and older brother since he and Markle resigned from their royal duties in 2020.

Another royal expert, Pauline Maclaran, co-author of Royal Fever, said Charles wants to be part of Prince Harry 's life. "As a father and quite an emotional man, he is likely to want some sort of reconciliation with his son. So I don't think William will be calling the shots, although he may advise his father in relation to any intended meeting."

In what could be the most significant thaw in the royal freeze, Prince Harry and King Charles have reportedly reached a major milestone in peace talks, with Harry making an unprecedented offer to prevent his appearances from upstaging the monarchy.
