Tensions between King Charles and Prince Harry continue to dominate royal headlines.

Their relationship has reportedly been strained since Harry stepped back from royal duties, and recent reports suggest the King issued his son a clear ultimatum during a recent UK visit.

Fallout From Harry’s Departure

Prince Harry shocked the world when he chose to leave royal life behind, shortly after marrying Meghan Markle.

Many critics accused him of turning his back on royal duties, and his relationship with the family—including King Charles and brother Prince William—has reportedly been frosty ever since.

Media Appearances

The tension intensified following the couple’s Oprah Winfrey interview, where they revealed insider information and personal experiences about the Royal Family.

Harry’s later publication of his memoir, Spare, further strained ties.

Some supporters view his decisions as a protective measure, mindful of the scrutiny his late mother, Princess Diana, endured.

Reuniting at the WellChild Awards

Earlier this month, Harry returned to the UK to attend the WellChild Awards, marking the first reported reunion with King Charles in 19 months.

While the meeting was widely publicized, it did little to quell speculation about the state of their relationship.

The Ultimatum

According to The Times, King Charles delivered a clear message to his son.

A source told the newspaper that “the King has been absolutely clear in upholding his late mother’s decision that there can be no ‘half-in, half-out’ public role for members of the family.”

The ultimatum reportedly reflects the late Queen Elizabeth’s rule that royals cannot hold public roles while simultaneously pursuing private business ventures.

Restrictions on Private Work

Should Harry wish to return in a royal capacity, he would need to cease activities unrelated to the monarchy, such as work with Netflix and Spotify.

These ventures are said to have earned Harry and Meghan millions, but royal protocol prohibits paid roles that conflict with official duties.

Harry’s Response

A spokesperson for Prince Harry emphasized that the Duke is not seeking special treatment:

“The duke has made it clear that the focus has to be on his dad. Beyond that, and on any other issues as it relates to his family, we won’t be commenting.”

Speculation Continues

Rumors persist about whether Harry might return to a smaller role within the Royal Family.

For now, sources indicate that King Charles is unwilling to make exceptions, maintaining strict adherence to royal rules and tradition.
