Sources close to the Duke of Sussex told Vanity Fair that Prince Harry asked for the meeting while Maines was in London to meet his UK based staff. The meeting—an al fresco drink, which was captured by a photographer— took place just a stone’s throw from Clarence House, his father’s official London residence.

While details of what was discussed at the meeting are not known, sources close to Harry say that the prince is hopeful that progress can be made. Harry has publicly said he wants to repair his relationship with his father and is privately said to be hoping that his father might consider coming to the 2027 Invictus Games which will take place in Birmingham. Harry has reportedly invited members of his family to the opening ceremony, after being upset that they declined to attend the London service honoring 10 years of the Games in May 2024

"Harry’s hoping that things can be rectified, He really wants a relationship with his father. He wants to change the narrative and not have the family feud be the focus of most stories that are written about him,” a source told VF. “There’s also hope that this might be the slow burner leading up to the Invictus Games. It’s two years away, but it’s going to take some time to change the narrative. Harry’s hope is that there will be another meeting, although it depends on how things play out.”

  2. I think there is a good chance he can have a private relationship with his father. My personal opinion is that, even if he wanted one, he has zero chance of having a semi public relationship with Charles—meaning he won’t be welcome to join the family in the walk to church on Easter or Christmas, being in the royal circle at Ascot or the family Christmas dinner… that kind of thing

    Too many people don’t trust him not to talk to the press

  3. I hope they’re both able to have some sort of relationship outside of the public eye so when Charles dies(hopefully nowhere near soon) they both comfortable with how they left the relationship.

  4. I really hope they can get to a place to talk and visit with the kids and such. Charles isn’t too long in this world, and while not a perfect father by any means, he does love Harry.

  5. He wants to change the narrative and not have the family feud be the focus of most stories that are written about him,” a source told VF

    Lol, says the man who, after losing yet another court case, went on a rant on BBC spreading lies about his family and their role in the case.

  6. Maybe sources close to Harry should tell Harry to stop trying to play this out in the press if he really wants a reconciliation with dad. I don’t see Charles wanting every meeting and conversation reported in the press.

  7. So rumours of him wanting RF at IG next year are right 🤣 I can imagine Anne or Edward going. Pretty sure who’s not going to attend are W&K

  8. “Sources close..” say less.

    Someone’s incandescent with rage over this meeting🫨🫨😹

  9. Tell me this POV is a Sussex Leak without telling me it’s a Sussex leak.

    Edit: it’s really funny how these surrogates communicate with the BRF/Daily Mail Camp vs. the Sussexes.

  10. This isn’t going to accomplish what Harry wants it to accomplish. I know his death isn’t imminent but Charles isn’t going to be around forever. Whatever inroads made now will be wiped off the map when William becomes King
