Prince Harry with his father King Charles and brother Prince William(Image: Getty Images)King Charles is “tiring” of Prince William’s “self-righteous intractability” as he longs to “re-embrace” his younger son Prince Harry, according to a royal observer.
Harry joined his father for tea last week at the monarch’s London home in their first meeting in over a year following a public split between the pair.
Royal observer and journalist Tina Brown said the reunion marked a “fulfillment of paternal longing” for Charles, who “desperately misses his prodigal son.”

“It’s understandably enraging for William to see his treacherous younger brother, who spent the last five years trashing his family on TV and promoting a back-stabbing, best-selling book, bounding around the British charity circuit, doing a well-received side-dash to Ukraine and upstaging the photo ops of William’s own diligent engagements,” Brown wrote in an opinion piece in the New York Times.
“But Charles, I am told, is tiring of his elder son’s self-righteous intractability in the family feud, and wants to re-embrace Harry — if only he can keep his mouth shut.”
Buckingham Palace last week confirmed that Charles and Harry spent time together at Clarence House.
Harry had distanced himself from the Royal Family since he and his wife, Meghan, left royal life and moved to California in 2020.
His relationship with Charles and William grew increasingly fraught after the couple aired their grievances with the royal family in a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey and on a Netflix show.
Harry further angered his family after he revealed personal conversations in his memoir, “Spare.”
Harry and his father last met in February 2024, when the prince flew to London following Charles’ cancer diagnosis.
In April, a court dismissed Harry’s bid to restore a police protection detail that was canceled after he stopped being a working royal.
Following the case, Harry expressed his desire to reconcile with his family.
“There’s no point in continuing to fight anymore,” Harry told the BBC at the time. “Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has.”
