King Charles and Prince William are reportedly due to hold discussions about Prince Harry and his position within the Royal Family. Rather than an informal conversation over tea, it is anticipated to resemble more of a board meeting to explore what a royal comeback for Harry might entail.
Ian Pelham Turner, a British broadcaster, revealed there has been "a big push" to make this happen with Charles spearheading the effort.
Obstacles Being Removed
"There is a big push to allow Harry, Meghan and family to find a level acceptable of royal invention," said Pelham Turner.
"It is well known that Harry and Meghan still wish to play a significant part in supporting charities in Britain and gradually obstacles are being removed either through desire or retirement of officials so that a half in half out option Harry had asked for could be a solution to this ongoing saga," he explained.
When it comes to William, he has been reluctant to engage, and in certain instances, actively avoiding being in the same room as his younger brother — for instance, conveniently being abroad when Harry pays a visit.
Charles Asserting Authority
Charles has grown frustrated, says the British broadcaster, and is now asserting his authority with William and demanding that he cooperates.
"It is widely reported of clashes between William and Charles in recent times within in the end the King using his ultimate authority and reminding William of his place in the royal pecking order," according to Pelham Turner. "In fact ordering him to attend certain events in his place," said Pelham Turner, which may include the upcoming secret summit and to "let it go," referring to the grudge he is holding against his little brother.
For Charles, a united family takes precedence above all else, yet for William, it is a matter of pride. William is clinging on so firmly that he is causing greater distress to those around him, with Pelham Turner revealing the root cause — it is inherited behaviour.
Root of the Rift
Pelham Turner strikes at the heart of the matter, shedding light on why this rift has endured for so long, and why Charles must intervene: "I feel, in reality, that both William and Harry have adopted a seemingly hot temper from their father, King Charles. Whenever emotions run high, this side of both their temperaments prevails."
Regarding Harry, who sits at the centre of the secret summit, he has remained resolute in his desire to reconcile with his family, meeting with Charles on a semi-regular basis over the past year and a half. It appears he is gaining some ground, according to Pelham Turner, who laid out the situation clearly.
According to Brittani Barger, co-founder of Royal News, this won't be a one-off occasion, with discussions expected to continue well beyond the forthcoming meeting between the monarch and his heir, though it appears they may be making progress.
Barger said: "Since Harry was recently in the U.K., I'm not shocked to hear that the King and Prince of Wales may be having another meeting to discuss Harry and any future role."
She added: "It may take a lot of discussions and negotiations, but I think the King and Prince William can come to some sort of agreement. It may take some time and patience to get to that point."
"There have been rumors that Harry wants to return to the U.K., and I think there would have to be discussions - if that happens - on what that would look like."
