“No turning back,” royal observer reckons
King Charles “can’t risk” being in touch with Prince Harry amid speculation the Duke of Sussex may wish to seek a reconciliation with his father, a royal commentator has claimed.
According to Fox News, one royal expert reckons Prince William‘s wishes could prove an obstacle to any making up.
And following bombshell revelations in interviews and memoir Spare since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stepped away from royal duties, the antipathy on his brother Prince William’s side is said to run deep.

Did Prince Harry reveal he still wants to reconcile with King Charles?
At the beginning of May, Prince Harry conducted an eye-opening interview with the BBC in which he claimed he “would love a reconciliation” with his royal relatives.
It came after he lost his court appeal over the decision to downgrade his UK security when he stepped back from duties.
He said at the time: “This current situation, which has been ongoing for five years with regard to human life and safety, is the sticking point.
“Of course, some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book. But I would love reconciliation with my family.”
However, Prince Harry also maintained he had no regrets about the decision behind “Megxit”.
He went on: “There’s no point in continuing to fight any more. Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has. He won’t speak to me because of this security stuff. It would be nice to reconcile.”
Since then, royal commentator and historian Dr Ed Owens has tipped King Charles to “take that step toward reconciliation”.
But it has also been reported by Fox News that King Charles would not “go against” his eldest son over the alleged rift.

Is there any chance of a Prince Harry reconciliation?
“There is no turning back,” pundit Hilary Fordwich is quoted as claiming.
She continued: “King Charles remains tender towards his son but can’t risk communication. Prince William now has absolutely no interest in mending fences. Those close to the king say he [shouldn’t] make peace with Harry in a way that would burden Prince William’s future reign.
Prince William has shut the door on Harry.
“The animosity is so deep that William has shut the door on Harry. Charles is not willing to go against his heir’s wishes.”

Ms Fordwich also claimed the alleged situation boils down to a “lack of trust” between the royals.
Meanwhile, royal author Valentine Low recently indicated PEOPLE there is no appetite for a reunion on this side of the Atlantic.
“There is not a good angel in [King Charles’] ear to say, ‘Be a good dad. Make the first move,’” it was claimed.
