It mattered a great deal to King Charles III that Prince Harry thought of him, although it was done in an awkward and unexpected manner.
The Duke of Sussex decided that he was important enough to rush by his side after getting that devastating phone call about his cancer.
The Duke, within hours of talking to his father, who announced that he was battling cancer, flew to London to show him love and support.
One expert explained that Prince Harry has had a complicated relationship with his father because of the revelations and accusations in the Netflix series Harry & Meghan, the book Spare, and interviews.
Therefore, he needed to prove to The King that he was willing to change and be the son that he needed during this tough and frightening time for him and the monarchy.
Talking to The Daily Mail about the meeting between Prince Harry and King Charles, B.C., royal correspondent Daniela Relph said: “This is a father and son who have seen very little of each other over the past four years. The relationship has been incredibly strained and complicated. It mattered that Harry was here; it mattered that the King wanted to see him.”
It was claimed that King Charles was hopeful that his terrible illness would make his wish come true.
Like all parents, he would love to see some family unity — more specifically, he was praying for a reconciliation between Prince Harry and his older brother, Prince William.
Following The Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral in 2021, King Charles pleaded and begged Prince Harry and Prince William, “Please, boys. Don’t make my final years a misery,” according to Prince Harry’s book Spare.
While a close friend of Prince Harry has revealed to The Daily Mail that he is willing to meet his brother somewhere in the middle, Prince William has some sad news for his father — he is done with his brother.
Relph stated: “Very different when it comes to his brother, the Prince of Wales, Harry and William will not be seeing each other.”
Writer Hugo Vickers, a friend of the Royal Family, told Page Six that Prince William would break King Charles’s heart with his decision to banish Prince Harry from his life.
The author shared: “It’s a good thing that Harry is coming over, but the chances of Harry and William becoming friendly again are very slim, to be honest.”
The Prince of Wales has some thinking to do.
