Though there have been attempts by Prince Harry to reach out to his father, King Charles III, the situation is still far from reconciliation. It has been reported that the Duke of Sussex has been concerned about the King’s health, but the years of public tension and deep mistrust still remain and continue to block paths to peace.

The King received a private and personal outreach from Harry when he was diagnosed with cancer.

However, their encounters have been described by staff as ‘formal and polite instead of emotional’ suggesting that a father son bond has still not returned. The King is open to reconciliation, but after past betrayals, he remains hesitant.

Within the royal circle, it is a breakdown of trust that is the biggest obstacle. Senior palace staff have warned the King against rushing to forgiveness and trust, citing the risk that any private conversation would be released in a future media project.

To further aggravate the situation, the strained relationship of Meghan Markle with the royal family is believed to be affecting the stand of Harry.

A source cited by Daily Mail said, The Queen Consort and high-ranking royals are yet to believe that Meghan honored royal customs and that tension is carried to Harry as well.

Another factor that has contributed to the rift according to experts is geographical distance and a difference of lifestyles. The stark difference between the life that Harry gets in California and his royal background places an emotional and physical class barrier between Harry and the family.

According to royal analyst Katie Nicholl, it is not likely that trust can be restored until this couple has a secret meeting without the cameras. In the meantime, vanity, prudence, and years of State exposure are apparently vitiating what might otherwise have been a royal reconciliation long deferred.
