Prince Harry and King Charles Bury the Hatchet After Over a Year of Silence

I’m Riley Carter, and I’m here to give you the lowdown on the latest royal drama. So, it seems like Prince Harry and King Charles have finally put their differences aside – for now, at least. The Duke of Sussex, 40, met with his father, King Charles, at Clarence House in London on Wednesday, marking their first face-to-face encounter in over a year.

According to eyewitnesses, Harry arrived at the royal residence by car around 5:20 p.m. local time, and was joined by Queen Camilla. The meeting comes after Harry attended several charity events in the UK, including the annual WellChild Awards on Monday, where he was spotted looking dapper as ever. He also took a moment to visit Queen Elizabeth II’s grave in Windsor on Monday, a touching gesture that shows he’s still got a lot of love for his family.

Before meeting his father, Harry stopped by Imperial College London’s Centre for Blast Injury Studies, where he likely discussed his charitable work and philanthropic efforts. Meanwhile, King Charles flew back from Scotland after spending weeks at Balmoral Castle, and it seems like he’s making an effort to reconnect with his youngest son.

The last time Harry and Charles saw each other was in February 2024, when Harry flew to the UK after Charles announced his cancer diagnosis. Since then, Harry has made several trips to the UK, but hasn’t seen his estranged relatives – until now, that is. It’s worth noting that Prince William, 43, didn’t meet up with his father and brother, which might suggest that there’s still some tension between them.

A source close to the royal family told The Mirror that Harry and Charles are working on reconciliation, and that “nobody is pretending the wider family issues have been resolved, but this is about beginning with Charles and Harry.” It’s a promising start, but we all know that royal family drama can be complicated and messy.

It’s no secret that Harry’s decision to quit his royal duties in 2020 and speak out about his family’s issues in his memoir “Spare” and Netflix series “Harry & Meghan” caused some tension between him and his family. But in a recent interview with the BBC, Harry expressed his desire for reconciliation, saying “I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point continuing to fight anymore, life is precious.”

Harry also opened up about his relationship with his father, saying that Charles “won’t speak” to him. However, it seems like they’re taking steps in the right direction. Charles’ former personal butler, Grant Harrold, recently told The Post that the monarch “has trust issues” with Harry, but still “misses” him.

As for Prince William, it seems like he’s not too thrilled about Charles and Harry trying to make amends. Harrold told The Post that William is worried Harry might use his words against him again, which is understandable given their complicated history.

The meeting between Harry and Charles is a significant step towards healing the rift between them, and it’s clear that they’re both making an effort to move forward. Of course, we’ll be keeping a close eye on this situation – after all, royal family drama is always juicy.

In the meantime, Harry’s wife Meghan Markle is back in the US with their kids, Archie and Lilibet. The last time Charles saw the kids was in June 2022, when they attended Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. It’s been a while since the family has been together, but it seems like they’re taking things one step at a time.

As the royal family continues to navigate their complex relationships, we’ll be here to keep you updated on all the latest drama. And who knows – maybe we’ll see a royal family reunion in the near future.

Anyway, that’s the deal. Do with it what you will.
