King Charles is ready to welcome Prince Harry back: 'door is always open'
King Charles reportedly received wishes and support from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during his health challenges
King Charles III is said to be indicating his wish to extend a warm welcome to his son, Prince Harry, back into the royal fold.
According to Mirror, renowned royal expert Robert Hardman reveals that King Charles is receptive to the idea of reconciliation.
His book The Creation of a Monarch: King Charles III and the Modern Monarchy explores the monarch's rise to power.
He said, "I don't know how and when. Certainly, on this side of the Atlantic, the door is always open, and there's so much other stuff going on."
Despite a brief moment of reconciliation in November, the release of Prince Harry's memoir, Spare, has added complexity to their strained relationship.
The book, which includes allegations and details of conflicts within the royal family, has made a near-term reunion unlikely.
Hardman suggests that while Prince Harry may not want to fully reengage with the royal family, King Charles would love to have him back in some capacity, even if not in a royal role.

"Charles would love to have him back in the fold, not being royal again - I think that ship has sailed, and I'm sure Harry would not want to do that," he added.
The expert also believes that Harry and Meghan Markle might perform royal duties again in the future.
He also highlighted the possibility of private playdates between the Sussexes' and Cambridges' children as a step towards rebuilding the relationship between Prince Harry and his family.
On the other hand, King Charles was diagnosed with an enlarged prostate and will undergo surgery next week as revealed by Buckingham Palace, following Kate Middleton's successful abdominal surgery, with her recovery expected to take 10 to 14 days.
Reportedly, King Charles and Kate Middleton received wishes and support from The Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
"The King and the Princess of Wales have received support from Prince Harry and Meghan regarding their health. The Duke and Duchess contacted both parties in different ways to pass on their concern and best wishes," Mirror reported.
