Prince Harry’s reconciliation with the British royal family may be further off than anticipated, as the only member previously open to meeting him is now expressing “hesitations.”

The Duke of Sussex recently visited the UK and during his trip back to his home country, he met with his father, King Charles III, for the first time in 19 months.

During their time apart, their preexisting feud had only deepened with Prince Harry’s public revelations of his father’s health and his legal battle with his UK security requests.

Nevertheless, the King put that behind him to meet with his son this month. However, it seems his son’s current actions have placed reservations on reconciliation back in his father’s head.

After the two had met, a source close to the Sussexes claimed there was a “thawing of their relationship.”

The source revealed, “These syrupy briefings from supposed Sussex sources are precisely why The King and Royal family are so hesitant to embark on any road to rapprochement.

“If the intention is to encourage a rebuilding of trust and relationships, they serve the precise opposite effect,” they concluded.

While the King is a “forgiving man,” he reportedly does not plan to disregard the rest of this family’s consistent efforts for the sake of welcoming back Harry. He has chosen to go about the situation in the way his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, would have expected, which means there can not be “half-in, half-out” members of the working Royal family.

In fact, he is allegedly making decisions in close consultation with his other son, Prince William, who has remained a steady and loyal presence by his side.

The source shared, “The power and impact of the modern monarchy lies in the unshakeable bond between The King and the Prince of Wales, supported by other working members of the family.”
