When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced in 2020 that they were exiting England and stepping down from their royal duties — it seemed that the earth tilted from its orbit.
The decision generated a tremendous amount of negativity from the media and members of the Royal Family, who were confused and hurt.
However, it has been confirmed that Prince Harry’s big bowing out of the Royal Family business led to something positive.
It created a stronger bond between King Charles III and his son, Prince William.
As King Charles has said repeatedly, he loves his two children equally, the heir and spare.
However, Prince Harry’s absence created a void, and his words, interviews, and revelations caused withdrawal.
It is believed that King Charles and others who inhabit the Palace are afraid to fully embrace Prince Harry or be truly honest with him because their private moments will be leaked to the media or sold to the highest bidder.
Prince William, who had already forged a great relationship with his father, has been able to capitalize on the fact that he is present.
The Prince of Wales has been spending a great deal of time with his father, who is preparing him for the role of his life — becoming King of England one day.
A reliable source from London who is close to both King Charles and the Prince of Wales made this revelation to PEOPLE Magazine: “Talking about the future of the country and their future roles has strengthened their bond.”
The family friend further revealed: “Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s decision to move to California after stepping back as senior members of the royal family in 2020 has brought [William and Charles] closer.”
While King Charles and Prince William owe a great debt to Prince Harry for helping them forge their relationship, death has also played a part in the unity that now exists between the father and son.
Prince William and King Charles, along with the Royal Family, suffered two devastating losses with the passing of Prince Philip in 2021 and Queen Elizabeth II in 2022.
King Charles and Prince William have new perspectives on life and have been able to forgive and forget past errors and now perform their roles in harmony.
According to the same source, the proud father has trusted his son with high honors and complex responsibilities.
Prince William is now managing the Duchy of Cornwall, an estate of farmland, property, and commercial businesses worth around $1.3 billion.
The royal source told PEOPLE: “He is going to very much take an active role in it.”
He is overseeing all aspects of his father’s coronation ceremony.
Prince Harry will drop his book titled SPARE in January, where he will surely explain how his life has changed since moving away from his brother and father.
