While the relationship between Princes William and Harry has not been in good shape for several months, according to Robert Lacey, Prince Charles is the only person today who can reconcile them.
For several months now, the press has been regularly reporting that relations between Princes William and Harry have been getting worse and worse because of the one’s behaviour towards Meghan Markle and the other’s departure for California. And while Lady Diana would make sure her boys are reunited if she were still alive, it turns out that one person could bring them together again: Prince Charles.
“The obvious person to create or encourage [their] reconciliation is Charles,” says historian Robert Lacey, author of Battle of Brothers, who sees the Crown Prince as a “channel of reconciliation” between the Dukes of Cambridge and Sussex. “I hope that behind the scenes, Charles is repairing fences and building bridges,” he told US Weekly.
A reconciliation that would be possible if Prince Charles decided to put his grain of salt in it, he who has never broken contact with his son Harry since the latter’s departure to California. “They have a very strong father/son relationship,” said one source about them.
A door always open for Prince Harry
It must be said that if Prince William showed himself to be closed towards his brother when he announced his departure from the royal family, trying however to reach out to him one last time, Prince Charles does not seem to have held his younger son’s desire for emancipation at bay and has kept his role as a father. “The Prince of Wales clearly demonstrated that the door was always open.
Since Prince Harry’s departure to Los Angeles, they have never broken contact. Charles is not greedy for messages, but they call each other on the phone and in video,” said a relative, who added that Prince Charles had indeed offered “financial assistance” to Prince Harry, “as any father would do for his son”.
