Amid longstanding tensions between the two brothers, Prince Harry's decision to step back from his senior royal role in 2020 further strained his relationship with Prince William.
The rift between Prince William and Prince Harry deepened with the publication of Harry's revealing memoir, "Spare," which exposed many family secrets.
In a poignant moment during Prince Philip's funeral in 2021, Harry disclosed that King Charles implored both him and William to cease their disagreements and not make his final years miserable.
Witnesses recount that King Charles positioned himself between his two sons, entreating, "Please boys, don't make my final years a misery."
Following his personal disclosure of his cancer diagnosis to his sons, Prince Harry promptly flew to London, where he engaged in a brief yet intense 45-minute meeting with his father.
This encounter sparked hopes of reconciliation within the royal family, with the potential for the brothers to honor their father's heartfelt plea.
However, insiders suggest that King Charles remains primarily focused on supporting his wife, Kate Middleton, who is recuperating from planned abdominal surgery.
Despite Prince Harry's visit aimed at reconnecting with his ailing father, sources from People Magazine indicate that there are currently no arrangements for a formal reconciliation between him and Prince William.
Nonetheless, insiders from The Mirror suggest that while Prince Harry's priority is his father's well-being, he remains open to the prospect of encountering Prince Charles should the opportunity arise.
