Talk of Prince Harry and the royal family working towards reconciliation has been rampant recently, and now, there are reports of another step being taken in this direction.
According to royal sources via the Daily Mail, Prince Harry has chosen to share his official schedule with the royals. This would ensure that engagements that the Prince and Meghan Markle undertake do not clash with those of the royal family. A source told the outlet that Harry’s decision is a “significant gesture.”
Earlier this month, Prince Harry’s trip to Angola was the centre of headlines and overtook coverage of Queen Camilla’s birthday portrait reveal. The action of sharing his schedule with the royals, would mean that such clashes wouldn’t occur in the future.
This step could also allow the Prince and King Charles to fix a date in their diaries to meet in person.
Earlier this month it was reported that representatives of both parties had met to open a line of communication between the two. The father and son coming face to face after many years could be the next step in this process.
In May of this year, Harry spoke to the BBC, stating, “I don’t know how much longer my father has [left].” This likely influences his plans to attempt contact.
Prince Harry and the royal family have been in conflict ever since he and Markle stepped down from their royal duties and titles in 2020. They subsequently moved to California and went on to speak publicly on their experiences within the royal institution. This included in a famous interview with Oprah Winfrey, on their Netflix documentary, as well as in Harry’s memoir Spare.
A few years on, it seems he is willing to extend an olive branch, in light of his father’s health.
