Prince Harry’s<\/a> decision to respond to claims he found the reunion with his father King Charles<\/a> \u201cformal\u201d could have been a mistake, a royal expert has said. Just weeks after the Duke of Sussex reconciled with his father in the UK last month<\/a> for what was their first face-to-face meeting since February 2024, sources claimed that Harry, 41, found the meeting \u201cofficial\u201d.<\/p>\n

While Harry, who quit royal life in 2020, could have ignored such claims, instead, he wanted to set the record straight.<\/a> His spokesperson released a statement on the prince\u2019s behalf, saying: \u201cRecent reporting of The Duke\u2019s view of the tone of the meeting, is categorically false.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe quotes attributed to him are pure invention fed, one can only assume, by sources intent on sabotaging any reconciliation between father and son.\u201d<\/p>\n

The spokesperson also said that reports of what gifts were exchanged were wrong.<\/p>\n

Shortly afterwards, another source close to the prince blamed the \u201cmen in grey suits\u201d for the inaccurate information about the meeting.

While Harry may have believed a statement offering clarity would help solve the inaccurate claims, a royal expert believes it may have actually made matters worse as it has given the issue more publicity.<\/a><\/p>\n

Former BBC<\/a> royal correspondent Jennie Bond told the Mirror<\/a>: “I think the most critical thing to remember about all of this is that at the heart of all the noise, there is a father and son trying to repair their relationship. It is a difficult and delicate task.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cIn the face of speculation, Harry presumably instructed his team to issue a rebuttal about one or two basic points.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt might have been better if he had resisted that provocation because anything and everything he says draws more publicity about this very private meeting.”<\/p>\n

Since the meeting at Clarence House in September, neither Harry or the King, 76, have disclosed what was discussed.<\/p>\n

Instead, Harry simply said that his focus for the coming year will be on his \u201cdad\u201d,<\/a> suggesting that more meetings between father-and-son, who have had a turbulent relationship over recent years, are on the cards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince Harry’s decision to respond to claims he found the reunion with his father King Charles \u201cformal\u201d could…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":479665,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7730,7731,1760,447,159177,159179,159178,7728,7710,519],"class_list":{"0":"post-479664","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-charles","10":"tag-charles-iii","11":"tag-king-charles","12":"tag-prince-harry","13":"tag-prince-harry-king-charles-iii-meeting","14":"tag-prince-harry-king-reconcile","15":"tag-prince-harry-men-in-grey-suits","16":"tag-prince-harry-royal-family","17":"tag-royal-families","18":"tag-royal-family"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479664","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=479664"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479664\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/479665"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=479664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=479664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=479664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
