Prince Harry and King Charles III are taking the first steps of reconciliation

King Charles III’s cancer diagnosis had a “unifying” effect on the royal family, including the most distant ones. Prince Harry reunited with the king just a couple of hours after his diagnosis, which demonstrates their relationship still can be healed.

Although the Duke of Sussex’s visit remained short due to the King’s tight schedule, it was the first step in seeking a relationship between the two parties. A palace insider had an exclusive convo with PEOPLE to address the latest events inside the royal family regarding their estranged relationship with the prince.

“I’m sure it was emotionally draining for both of them, but it was a step in the right direction. It was a positive move.”

The source categorized this interaction as “baby steps” because it is highly likely Prince Harry might be visiting his father frequently over the next couple of months as he prepares for the Invictus Games. It was previously reported the Prince would happily do his royal duties in case King Charles III required it. There’s no doubt we might see the royal family reunited once again as before of 2020.
