The strained relationship between King Charles and his youngest son, Prince Harry, has once again come into the spotlight.
It appears that the King is hesitant to engage in a meeting with Prince Harry unless certain conditions are met.
This revelation comes as no surprise, considering the lack of trust that exists between the two.
It has been eight months since His Majesty officially ascended the throne, while Prince Harry and Meghan have been residing in California.
Although the Duke of Sussex has made brief visits to the UK for his father’s coronation and court hearings related to actions against newspaper groups, he has not had any personal interactions with King Charles.
Recent weeks have seen the release of another book by royal author Omid Scobie, who is said to be a close friend of Harry and Meghan.
These new paragraphs, combined with the claims made in Harry’s previous book “Spare,” the Netflix documentary featuring both Harry and Meghan, and the highly publicized Oprah interview of 2021, have further strained relations and eroded trust within the family.
Despite whispers of a potential reunion during Christmas, the chances of such a gathering seem slim unless the King’s three demands are met.
An insider revealed to Express.co.uk that given the current state of affairs, it is understandable that there is very little trust between the parties involved.
If a meeting were to take place, it would need to be conducted in a proper manner, with the presence of aides and officials, and thorough documentation, including minutes of the discussions.
Interestingly, the Duke of Sussex’s memoir, “Spare,” became the best-selling book of 2023 in the UK, surpassing even cookbooks dedicated to air fryers and slow cookers, according to Amazon.
This book delves into Harry’s military career, his strained relationship with his family, and his profound grief over the loss of his mother.
It was published in January and garnered significant attention.
In May, Prince Harry made a whirlwind trip to London for his father’s coronation.
However, he played no official role in the historic proceedings, while Meghan remained at home.
