High relations: strange details emerged about Prince Harry’s meeting with the sick king

Following the King’s cancer diagnosis, the Duke of Sussex is believed to have hoped to join him for a few days at Sandringham when he landed in London last week, the Daily Mail reports.

However, according to the insider, Harry was told to visit Clarence House, his father’s London home, for a short arranged private meeting before being told to book a hotel for the night.

“Harry came to see his father, expecting to go to Sandringham. But he was asked to stay at Clarence House instead and was limited to 30 minutes,” a source told The Sun on Sunday.

“The fear was that if he went to Sandringham they would never get rid of him.”

The comments come after it was claimed that Prince Harry had “zero chance” of returning to the firm (i.e. the royal family), with royal insiders saying Prince William “wouldn’t allow that” amid claims that his brother and Meghan Markle ‘can’t be trusted’.

Harry’s transatlantic dash raised hopes that his return to Britain would be used to heal wounds with King Charles and provide an opportunity to contact his brother Prince William.

In a TV interview with “Good Morning America” ​​on Friday, Harry said he hoped his father’s illness could have a “unifying effect” on the family.

Prince Harry, who stepped down as a member of the royal family along with his wife the Duchess of Sussex in 2020, is a state adviser but is not expected to carry out any of the king’s duties while he undergoes treatment, the Daily Mail writes.

Harry also said: “I love my family” and that he was “grateful” for the opportunity to spend time with his father when he flew back to the UK last week.

But insiders insisted last night that there had been no proposal for Harry to take on a hybrid “half-in, half-out” royal role, with palace officials reportedly ridiculing the idea and questioning how such a thing could even work.

Insisting that other senior royals such as the Queen, Prince William, Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Sophie are “more than capable of holding the line”, a source told The Sun on Sunday: “Harry does say he will fly back from California to attend the investment ceremony?”

Palace sources stressed that the king’s illness would not change the terms of the Sandringham summit agreement, which detailed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s exit from the current royal family.

“These conditions were absolutely clear and the king’s illness did not change that,” the source said, according to The Telegraph.

Another told the newspaper that the view that the royal family’s hybrid working model was inappropriate still “remains valid.”

The Duke and his father are said to have had several “cordial meetings” since the King’s illness was diagnosed, the Times claims.

A royal source also told the newspaper that Charles III, 75, is keen on reconciliation and seeing his son more often and believes this will be good for the monarchy.

A source told The Times: “On all practical levels it makes 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 it has never weakened the fundamental blood ties and pragmatic aspects now need to be taken into account “as the welfare of the King and Kate is of paramount importance. Details of the meeting at Clarence House and subsequent conversations are confidential, but there is a feeling that this arrangement could work.”

Harry appeared on US television on Friday to say he had “more trips” planned to the UK and “loves his family”.

According to the Daily Mail, the 39-year-old prince spent the last couple of days in Whistler, Canada, with his wife Meghan to attend the Vancouver Whistlers’ winter training camp for the Invictus Games. The couple was followed everywhere by cameras and the Good Morning America crew.

Harry told them he “jumped on a plane” to visit the king “as soon as I could” after speaking on the phone about his cancer diagnosis.

The prince added that he would try to “stay and see family as much as I can” and said he had other trips and plans that would take him to the UK.

The royal is expected to return to Britain in May to attend a service at St Paul’s Cathedral to mark the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games.

When Harry met his father for about 45 minutes, it was thought to be their first real contact in 15 months, the Daily Mail reports.

On Saturday night, Harry and Meghan were spotted flying home to California after a Canadian send-off, where they were serenaded with a re-written version of singer Michael Bublé’s My Way. Following Harry’s return to the UK, there were rumors that the prince was “ready” to take on a “temporary royal role” amid King Charles’ battle with cancer.

Prince Harry has reportedly told friends he will return to the UK to help with royal duties while his father undergoes cancer treatment. It was claimed that father and son had had several “cordial meetings” since the monarch was diagnosed with undetermined cancer.

Royal expert Hugo Vickers told MailOnline that “neither side” wants Harry and Meghan to return to the UK, despite the supposed olive branch. He said: “I personally don’t really think there is any desire on anyone’s part for him to come home at the moment and take up royal duties again. “He can’t suddenly take up royal duties again. “Under current circumstances, it’s quite far from us. It’s always possible to reconcile. It’s always possible to sort things out, but not so quickly. So no, that’s the answer.”
