King Charles wants to reconcile with Harry

Prince Harry and his father are said to have had several “warm exchanges” since the king's illness was diagnosed, The Times claimed.

A royal source also told the newspaper that Charles, 75, wants to reconcile and see more of his son, and believes doing so would benefit the monarchy.

The source told The Times: “On all practical levels it makes perfect sense for the family to come together to support the King while he is ill.

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

“Details of the Clarence House meeting and subsequent conversations are private, but the feeling is that this deal could work.”

Harry also said “I love my family” and that he was “grateful” to be able to spend time with his father when he flew back to the UK following Charles' cancer diagnosis.
