Prince Harry‘s team has angrily denied being behind the leak of a secret “peace summit” between senior aides to the Sussexes and King Charles.
Details of the private talks — including the location, timing and nature of the meeting — appeared in the Mail on Sunday after the participants were photographed on a club terrace.
The leak has triggered fresh mistrust on both sides, with the Sussexes insisting it was not their doing.
A source close to the Duke said the images appearing on front pages were a disastrous start to what was meant to be a quiet step towards reconciliation.
The meeting, which involved the King’s communications secretary and Prince Harry’s new US-based PR chief, was described as an “informal drink” rather than a formal negotiation. Buckingham Palace has declined to comment.
