King Charles Sets Three Demands Before Meeting Prince Harry

The relationship between King Charles and his son, Prince Harry, has been tumultuous in recent years, leading to the monarch's reluctance to meet with his youngest son unless three specific demands are met.

Since King Charles was officially crowned eight months ago, Prince Harry and Meghan have been residing in California, with minimal personal interactions between the father and son.

Despite brief visits by Prince Harry to the UK for significant events, including his father's coronation and court hearings, a personal meeting with King Charles has not taken place.

Recent publications, including a new book by royal author Omid Scobie, known to be a close friend of Harry and Meghan, have further fueled existing claims about the strained relations within the royal family.

Combined with revelations from Harry's own book, “Spare,” the Netflix documentary featuring the couple, and the explosive Oprah interview in 2021, trust and relations between Prince Harry and his family have significantly deteriorated over time.

Speculations of a potential Christmas reunion have surfaced, but the likelihood of a meeting remains slim unless King Charles's conditions are met.

A source revealed to Express.co.uk that the lack of trust between King Charles and Prince Harry is a significant barrier to any potential reconciliation.

Should a meeting take place, it must adhere to strict protocols, with aides and officials present to document the discussions thoroughly.

The need for meticulous documentation, including minute-taking, underscores the gravity of the situation and the importance of transparency in any future interactions between the father and son.

Prince Harry's memoir, “Spare,” emerged as the best-selling book of 2023 in the UK, surpassing popular cookbooks on Amazon's list of top titles for the year.

The book delves into Harry's military experiences, his strained relationships within the royal family, and his emotional journey following the loss of his mother.

Published in January, the memoir garnered significant attention and controversy, shedding light on Prince Harry's personal struggles and perspectives.

In May, Prince Harry made a brief visit to London to witness his father's coronation, although he did not play an official role in the historic event.
