King Charles and Prince Harry appear to be on the same page about Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet‘s return to the UK.

The Sussexes were initially scheduled to return to the country as a family, which would mark their first visit since 2022. However, those plans became a solo trip for the Prince due to security arrangements.

Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, became estranged from the Royal Family after relocating to the US in 2020. Their past comments have reportedly played a role in escalating tensions, but King Charles is believed to be open to reconciling.

Following Prince Harry’s solo return to the UK, King Charles is reportedly working behind the scenes to secure an opportunity to meet his grandkids. Royal sources claimed the monarch had instructed senior aides to engage in talks with his youngest son and daughter-in-law about the matter.

These sources claimed there have been multiple one-to-one conversations between the King and Prince in recent weeks. One insider described the tone of their discussions as “hopeful,” noting the pair were set on making a meeting between them work.

Charles, per The Mirror, reportedly wanted to spend time with his grandkids while Harry was looking forward to bonding with his father. The King hasn’t spent much time with the Sussex children, only meeting Prince Archie a handful of times, and Princess Lilibet just once in 2022. In a source’s words:

“The King would not pass up the opportunity to spend time with his grandchildren, and if there is a way of making it possible, he will do it.”

Charles’s focus wasn’t solely on his grandkids, with claims of him including Meghan in his talks with Harry. The father and son were allegedly discussing the possibility of having the former actress and the two children visit the UK sometime this week.

Besides the monarch’s reported efforts, Harry was “frantically” trying to secure extra private security for his family. As stated, he was initially meant to visit the UK with Meghan and their kids in tow but canceled after learning the Palace wouldn’t provide round-the-clock security.

The drama continued with Harry’s accommodation plans falling apart before his arrival. The Palace had offered the Sussexes royal accommodation during their visit, with security focused only on the royal grounds. However, that offer did not last.

The Blast covered the royal accommodation drama, reporting that the former working royal’s team had slammed the Palace for revoking its offer. A spokesperson for the Duke claimed the residency offer was withdrawn after his approval.

The spokesperson described the outcome as “disappointing,” questioning why the Palace had revoked its offer. However, Buckingham Palace shared a different narrative, with a source claiming the residency offer was withdrawn due to Harry’s untimely response.

The Palace source explained that the offer came with a time limit, which King Charles later extended, but the “Spare” author did not respond within the specified time. As for why Harry’s answer was delayed, signs point to the lack of round-the-clock security for his family.

Despite the accommodation drama, Harry has been far from distressed during his solo trip. Hours after arriving in the UK on Monday, July 6, The Blast shared that he made his first public appearance at a documentary premiere event in London.

He attended the debut of “Shoot the People” by Misan Harriman, his longtime friend and consistent supporter. The Duke was all smiles as he posed for a picture with the photographer, with a rep claiming he was in high spirits and “really happy to be back in the UK.”

The former working royal’s public appearances continued on Wednesday, July 8, with PEOPLE covering the story. He visited the Royal Hospital Chelsea, a nursing facility for British Army veterans, for a series of private meetings tied to his Invictus Games Foundation.

As Harry continues to make the most of his time in the UK, a reconciliation with other members of the Royal Family seems unlikely. While King Charles is believed to be open to meeting his youngest son, his oldest ward, Prince William, is a different story.

Sources have claimed the heir apparent was uninterested in reuniting with his estranged brother, with royal commentators claiming his wife, Kate Middleton, was on the same page. Christopher Andersen, author of “Kate!” refuted the allegations of Kate attempting to convince William to reconcile.

“Kate is no longer in the business of trying to reunite the brothers,” Anderson told Fox News, claiming it was “magical thinking” if people thought otherwise. British broadcaster Helena Chard echoed similar sentiments, saying, “Catherine will not allow her family, and especially William, to be sucked back into the Sussex drama.”
