King Charles is reportedly “cautious and wary” of his estranged son Prince Harry’s latest effort to extend an olive branch, according to a royal expert via NY Post. The Duke of Sussex recently sent his aides to London, where they met with the monarch’s communications secretary.
However, despite Harry’s last-ditch attempt to mend the family ties, it seems that the king is approaching the possibility of reconciliation with a sense of trepidation.
“King Charles, while cautious and wary, might attend the Invictus Games,” royal expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News.
“But of course, he prefers all private matters to remain private. In addition, there are many conflicts with the royal schedule, let alone Queen Camilla’s 80th birthday during the games.”
As per the veteran royal commentator, peace talks between the Sussex and Windsor clans have high stakes.
“For Harry, it’s about what he can gain, while, for the royals, it’s about what they have to lose,” she told the outlet.
“Harry wants to be included. He misses not only the UK but many aspects of royal privileges. However, he hasn’t been successful in any of his endeavors. For the royals, more disclosures and scandals are concerning.”
“They simply don’t need… Harry around, particularly not Prince William, who is resolute regarding any reconciliation being a huge mistake,” Fordwich added.
