    Synopsis

    King Charles, Prince William, and Prince Harry may hold peace talks prior to coronation amidst 'Spare' tensionsAgencies
    According to a royal source, a reconciliatory meeting between Prince Harry, the King, and the Prince of Wales could happen within the coming months following the publication of Harry's memoir "Spare."

    The Times report suggests that the reunion would need to happen before King Charles' coronation on May 6. Harry has called for reconciliation, saying he wants "an apology" from his family, but that they have "shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile" since the Sussexes' split from the Windsor family.
    The source said, “It’s going to take flexibility on all sides, but it can be done, it’s fixable." He also suggested that for the reconciliation to happen, Harry should be in the room with the King and Prince of Wales, along with a few other family members and people he trusts.

    The source believes that both sides need to admit their mistakes and understand the pain that Harry has been through. The source also suggested that the reconciliation should happen soon and that the wives should also be included in the meeting. Another well-placed royal source agrees and believes that they have to invite them in before the coronation or it will become a distraction. If such a reconciliation were to take place, there is speculation as to who would preside over it, with the Archbishop of Canterbury deemed a suitable figure.



    A close friend of both William and Harry’s believes that reconciliation needs to take place, for the sake of both brothers. He said that the silence, for now, has been the right thing, but this is not going to go away.

    He further adds that this has to be resolved and neutralized so that when William has the top job, his brother isn’t still sniping from the sidelines and that he doesn’t think this is the end of things. He also stated that Harry simply cannot do without his brother.
