King Charles has had little communication with Prince Harry but is still open to reconciliation with his youngest son, it has been reported.

Prince Harry’s seemingly distant relationship with King Charles is cemented by the fact the Duke of Sussex has to make an appointment to see his father. 

Royal author, Duncan Larcombe, said Harry is being “subtly punished” with the “stand-off approach.”

Harry stepped down as a senior working royal back in early 2020 and now lives in the US with Meghan Markle and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The 39-year-old has made several trips to the UK since but has reportedly made very little, if any, contact with his family.

According to Mr Larcombe, who spoke around the time of the first anniversary of the death of the late Queen, Harry is being “punished” by his father in a very slight manner, by simply requesting he make an appointment to meet up.

As reported by the Mirror, he said: “It appears that King Charles’ approach towards Harry now is business as usual – ‘if you want to see me you need to make an appointment’.

“Harry will have to get past the grey suits and jump through hoops to talk to his father. It’s very stand-offish but I think that’s a way that the King is subtly punishing his son.”

Unlike their father, Prince William is said to be not so keen to back down as forgive his brother, who he has reportedly not seen since the late Queen’s funeral in 2022.

The Sun previously reported that Mr Larcombe said: “It’s remarkable really, because when Charles became King he said he loved Harry and Meghan which was a huge olive branch – which Harry then took, snapped in half and then hit him with it…

“The King is still keeping those channels of communication open, where William isn’t.”

Meghan and Harry now live in a multi-million-pound home in Montecito with Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3.

Despite the strained communication between King Charles and Prince Harry, there remains a glimmer of hope for reconciliation between the father and son. The distance in their relationship is evident as Prince Harry is required to schedule appointments in order to see his father, highlighting the stand-offish approach taken by King Charles.

Since stepping down as a senior working royal in 2020, Prince Harry now resides in the US with Meghan Markle and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Despite making occasional trips to the UK, Harry has reportedly had minimal contact with his family, including King Charles.

Royal author Duncan Larcombe has commented on the situation, suggesting that King Charles is subtly punishing Harry by making it difficult for him to schedule meetings. This tactic, according to Larcombe, is a way for the King to express his disapproval of Harry’s actions.

Unlike King Charles, Prince William appears to be less inclined to forgive and forget, especially since allegedly not seeing his brother since the late Queen’s funeral in 2022. Larcombe has noted that William is not as open to reconciliation as their father.

Despite the challenges in the relationship between King Charles, Prince Harry, and Prince William, there remains a glimmer of hope for reconciliation and a rekindling of familial bonds.
