Will Prince Harry reconcile with the royal family?

Buckingham Palace sources said the royal family is on its way to "moving" to reconcile with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ahead of King Charles' coronation on May 6, 2023, at London's Westminster Abbey alongside his wife Camilla in a "looking-to-the-future" ceremony.

According to the newspaper "The Independent", the two parties had not previously talked about the issuance of the controversial memoirs of the Duke of Sussex, in which Prince Harry criticized his older brother William and his father, King Charles.

Although the memoir, dubbed” Spear”, did not criticize the family, Prince Harry has made it clear repeatedly in the book and in television appearances promoting the 400-word author as he seeks reconciliation with his family.

A royal source close to King Charles told The Times that they believe a meeting between the warring royals could happen in the next few months. They said: “It's going to take flexibility on all sides, Harry here needs to talk behind closed doors with the King and Prince of Wales, a couple of other family members, and some 'of his people' who he always trusts so he doesn't think he's being ambushed. And arguably 'both sides' They need to put their hands up and admit they didn't get everything right, and they got a lot wrong, but it could be argued that the peace talks could prove more difficult for Prince William, who is accused of assaulting his little brother, according to Harry in his memoirs”.

However, the royal source, who also said he knew William well, said the Prince of Wales was "loyal to the throne" and knew "what needs to be done for the country". The source added: “The family will extend the invitation to Harry and his wife, but it will be very difficult for Harry and Megan to attend the royal ceremony after Harry’s statements in interviews and the book in which he spoke about his life inside the royal palace.” Prince Harry's headline-grabbing memoir also details his frustration with being a "back-up for the heir", his anger at the British media, his unresolved trauma after his mother's death, his mental struggles and his lonely life before meeting Meghan.

Jeremy Paxman has described Prince Harry’s claims in his memoir Spare as a “series of moans from a very privileged young man”.

The veteran broadcaster and University Challenge host wrote a new comment about the Duke of Sussex’s autobiography, which has become the fastest-selling non-fiction book yet.

In an article for The Telegraph, titled “History won’t be kind to Prince Harry”, Paxman, 72, addressed several aspects of the duke’s ghostwritten book – including his troubled relationship with William.

“The Prince’s most deadly sin appears to have been his breaking of the code of omertà in talking about his private feelings,” Paxman wrote. “Personally, I wish he would just shut up and get on with his life as a terrifically privileged young person.”
