King Charles, Prince Harry share 'warm exchanges'

Prince Harry wants a hybrid model of being a working royal

Prince Harry and his father are said to have had several "warm exchanges" since the King’s cancer was diagnosed, but it does not seem end year-long feud between the Sussexes and the royal family.

Sharing the 75-year-old monarch's desire to ease tension with his estranged son Harry, a source told The Times: "On all practical levels it makes perfect sense for the family to come together to support the King while he’s sick."

"Much has been said on both sides in recent years, but that has never diminished the fundamental bond of blood, and there are now pragmatic aspects to consider, with the King and Kate’s wellbeing ­paramount in this." 

They added: "The details of the Clarence House meeting and subsequent conversations are private, but the feeling is that this arrangement could work."

However, the Duke of Sussex will not be allowed temporary royal role while his father undergoes cancer treatment. 

It was alleged that Harry told friends he would step into such a role while Charles is unwell.

The arrangement Harry accepted when stepping down as a working royal alongside his wife the Duchess of Sussex in 2020, is reportedly set to remain in place.

“Those terms were quite clear, and the King’s illness hasn’t altered that. The view a hybrid model of being a working royal was not appropriate still remains the case," a source told The Telegraph.
