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."

After years of publicly airing his grievances against the royal family, Prince Harry may have found an unexpected way to rebuild bridges.

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