In his book, Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story, Hardman reveals King Charles's approach to the challenges involving Prince Harry. Despite learning to "compartmentalize issues" over which he has little control, the monarch expresses a desire for resolution.
Hardman notes that the perception of the King and his staff constantly dealing with challenges posed by Prince Harry and Prince Andrew is common. However, the author highlights that the King has acquired the skill of compartmentalization through years of dealing with royal domestic issues.
Regarding King Charles's sentiments about Prince Harry and Meghan, a friend mentioned, "'Of course the King is extremely sad about Harry and Meghan, but there is a sense of exasperation that he has done what he can. Now that he is King, there are many more things to think about.' The friend added that the King, after attempting to listen, now focuses on moving forward with his life without delving into the specifics of the problems.
While nothing is considered final, a senior official shared, "'You'd always like your child back,' but when they decide to do things differently, you have to give them the space to do that. The door is always open, though." This insight suggests a nuanced approach by King Charles, expressing a desire for reconciliation while respecting Prince Harry's choices and providing the necessary space.
