Efforts are underway between King Charles and Prince Harry to mend their strained relationship away from public scrutiny.
The Duke of Sussex recently met with his father, who is battling cancer, following a personal call from the monarch regarding his diagnosis. Despite the brevity of the meeting, lasting only 30 minutes, it marked a significant step forward after years of discord.
Reports suggest that the monarch is actively planning to extend an olive branch to his younger son, Prince Harry, and his wife, Meghan Markle, by inviting them to Balmoral later this year.
PR expert Ryan McCormick believes that Charles's actions may be driven more by a desire for familial connection than by public perception. He notes that recent public gestures from both Charles and Harry indicate a shared intention to move towards reconciliation.
McCormick emphasizes that the health crises faced by both Charles and Kate Middleton, who was diagnosed with cancer shortly after Charles, should serve as a catalyst for setting aside past grievances.
In times of adversity, McCormick suggests, trivial conflicts take a backseat to the well-being of loved ones. He believes that the planned visit to Balmoral holds the potential to foster a lasting peace between the king and his son, marking a significant turning point in their relationship.
