King Charles and Prince Harry are reportedly moving closer to a reconciliation. Aides for the two met just recently, and there have even been rumors that a face-to-face meeting between father and son could come as soon as September. All of this amid reports that King Charles’ poor health might be the thing that brings Prince Harry and Prince William closer together, too.

The Duke of Sussex has been very open about his desire to make up with his family. “I would love reconciliation with my family,” he said in a BBC interview a few months ago, “There’s no point continuing to fight anymore. Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has. He won’t speak to me because of this security stuff [the Sussex family is entitled to in the U.K.], but it would be nice to reconcile.”

Harry has also reportedly offered to share his official schedule of engagements with the royal family, another olive branch that proves his willingness to work towards reconciliation. Now, however, Radaronline.com is reporting that the security issue might be one of the reasons Prince Harry is keen to make up with his father.

“Of course Harry cares about his father and worries about him,” a source told the outlet. “He’s been kept in the dark about Charles’ health status.” But, the source also said, “There are suspicions Harry’s main motivation is to reinstate his taxpayer-funded security.” Not just because it’s a lot of money, but because it would allow him to bring his kids to the U.K.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have indicated they don’t believe they’re safe in the U.K., with Harry saying when he lost his court case trying to get security reinstated, “I can’t see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the U.K. at this point.”

Of course, that could all change with more security. And the matter of security could change if Harry and his father were in better terms. “If he were back in the royal family’s good graces and received financial support, that could fix everything,” the source said. “Meghan wouldn’t be so desperate to make money.”

A source told The Mirror that the reconciliation is indeed happening between father and son in September, but William is purposefully avoiding his brother at all costs. According to a source, there is “determination on both sides to make [a reunion] happen.”

“Nobody is pretending the wider family issues have been resolved, but this is about beginning with Charles and Harry,” the source said, saying that it’s “the right time to take that step” with “a simple face-to-face conversation between a father and son.”

The source said, “This is not about grand gestures or set-piece meetings. … The priority is privacy and dignity, but also ensuring the door stays open for further dialogue.

“As for Harry and William, though, any chance of reconciliation between them has been rejected out of hand,” the insider continued.

This all comes after reports that the couple had to let go of several of their staff in their Montecito home. “This isn’t strategy — it’s survival,” celebrity gossiper Rob Shuter reported. “They’re running out of money, and now they’re running out of people.” A source blamed the way the two had structured their household. “They don’t have the money to keep the team they built,” the source explained. “They tried to recreate the royal court — but California doesn’t do crowns on credit.”

In a candid moment on her podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, Markle reflected on the “fear” of running out of money. “So many women, especially, we’re taught to not even talk about money,” she said. “And there’s lots of guilt mentality surrounding having a lot.” But according to her, that’s not all. “At the same time, there’s a scarcity mindset that it’s easy to attach to, of like ‘I’ll never have enough,’” she added.

With a new Netflix deal and an expanded As Ever line, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seem to be doing just fine. But that likely doesn’t mean Prince Harry will stop trying to reconcile with his family. And that’s probably a good thing.
