The relationship between King Charles and Prince Harry has been strained for years, with the Duke of Sussex recently leveling accusations against his father.
Despite the Royal Family facing staff shortages, there appears to be little space for Prince Harry to make a comeback.
King Charles, currently undergoing cancer treatment, has withdrawn from his public duties, while the Princess of Wales is recuperating from abdominal surgery.
Speculation arose that Harry might temporarily resume his royal responsibilities due to the King’s illness, but insiders dismissed this notion, affirming that Harry would not be reinstated and that his decision to step down from official duties in 2020 remains unchanged.
Harry’s criticism towards King Charles has been frequent.
In a Netflix series with Meghan Markle, he accused his father of dishonesty during a pivotal meeting before their move to the US.
In his controversial memoir, “Spare,” Harry asserted that his father prioritized his own interests over his son’s.
Despite Harry’s outspokenness, King Charles has largely remained silent on the matter, offering only a brief response when questioned about Harry during a visit last year.
This incident occurred during a visit to the University of East London’s Stratford campus, where the King interacted with students and well-wishers.
In a departure from their previously strained relationship, Harry and his father have reportedly shared cordial moments following the King’s diagnosis.
A royal source disclosed to the Times that Charles is eager to mend fences and spend quality time with his son, believing it will benefit the monarchy.
In an interview with Good Morning America, Harry hinted at a potential reconciliation with his father due to the current circumstances.
Harry expressed affection for his family and appreciation for the time spent with his father during his recent UK visit.
During a brief half-hour visit to see Charles, there was speculation that the father-son duo, who have been distant since Harry’s withdrawal from royal duties, could reconcile.
Harry emphasized on Good Morning America that family illnesses often unite members, hinting at a possible reconciliation in their case.
