In a definitive move, King Charles III has turned down Prince Harry’s rumored proposal to rejoin the royal family as a part-time member.

Royal insiders have made it clear that the King’s position is resolute; he believes there can be no compromise when it comes to royal duties.

This decision has sent shockwaves through royal circles and has left many wondering about the future of the once-close relationship between father and son.

Former royal butler Grant Harold has shed light on the King’s firm stance.

According to him, should the Duke of Sussex wish to return, he must fully embrace his royal responsibilities, which would mean stepping away from his media ventures and other external commitments.

This uncompromising approach has taken many by surprise, dashing any lingering hopes for a reconciliation within the family.

The rift between King Charles and Prince Harry has only widened in recent years, fueled by Harry’s public critiques of the royal family.

His comments have often targeted not just the monarchy, but also his father and brother, Prince William.

The King’s frustration has reportedly reached a boiling point, leading him to avoid even phone calls from his son—a clear indicator of the growing animosity between them.

Royal author Tom Quinn notes that despite Harry’s outspoken criticisms, he held a belief that his father would eventually forgive him.

In Harry’s eyes, the pain he felt justified his remarks, and he thought Charles would recognize this hurt and seek to make amends.

However, it seems the King is not inclined to extend an olive branch, and speculation is mounting that he might even consider disowning the Duke.

As the royal family grapples with this challenging chapter, the fate of Prince Harry’s connection to the Crown remains uncertain.

With the King standing firm and the Duke showing no signs of backing down, the possibility of mending their relationship appears increasingly distant.
