However, after Prince Harry lost his appeal for government-funded security in the UK in May this year, the Duke of Sussex pointed a finger at King Charles and told the BBC there was “a lot of control and ability in my father’s hands”.
Yet, Prince Harry said he wanted to reconcile with his family, chiefly because of his father’s deteriorating health. “There’s no point in continuing to fight anymore. Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has,” Prince Harry had said, per US Weekly.
On the other hand, People magazine reported that Prince Harry will also meet Prince William when he returns to the UK in September. “Everyone” hopes for a reconciliation between the brothers, said royal historian Amanda Foreman.
