Settlement plan
Relations between Harry and the rest of the royal family have been strained for several years. Harry’s wishes for a reconciliation have been talked about in public before.
According to sources, Harry has a “reconciliation plan” to get things back on track.
According to information, during Harry’s trip to Britain, father and son saw each other for about half an hour at Clarence House, after which Charles traveled by helicopter to Sandringham.
Sunday Times Royal Correspondent Roya Nikkah said Good Morning Britain – in the morning show, that Harry would have liked to have spent even longer with his father. The palace’s statement implied that Charles had started his cancer treatment on Monday and was very tired afterwards.
Big brother William Harry reportedly did not meet, so the brothers’ reconciliation can hardly be expected in the near future.
