"It's fantasy," says Catherine's friend, smashing Sussex's PR stunt, exposing no text or talk between Harry and Kate. Reportedly, Prince Harry has not reached out to Princess Kate despite reconciliation rumors from Meghan's PR team. A friend branded any possible reunion as a fantasy.
A few days ago, Meghan and Harry's PR team claimed that the Duke of Sussex had reached out to the Princess of Wales to mend their broken relationship following Kate's cancer news. She announced back in March that she's being treated for cancer and has since stepped down from public duties. However, a friend of Kate has said that she's not ready to meet with Harry. Meanwhile, Meghan and Harry's spokesperson said that meeting with Harry is the last thing William or Catherine want or need right now. Catherine's friends claim it's a fantasy; it's not about apologies or who said what, but about protecting his family. Kate is recovering from cancer, and they're avoiding stressful situations.
Speaking to the Daily Beast, they added that the idea Harry and his kids will descend on Balmoral this summer is wishful thinking. It's all just very sad. These comments come after Meghan's new mouthpiece, Tom Quinn, suggested Kate is sympathetic towards Harry but doesn't want to play the peacemaker between him and his brother Prince William. The Prince of Wales is reportedly upset over Harry's attacks against the royal family.
Elsewhere, a close friend revealed King Charles appears to be keeping his focus away from the ongoing saga with Prince Harry. Despite hopes for reconciliation during Harry's recent trip to London, it seems father and son didn't manage to bridge the gap. A spokesperson for Harry commented that King Charles was busy with a full program. The Duke, of course, is understanding of his father's commitments and various priorities and hopes to see him soon. Yet, there's been some confusion about this account. Reports have emerged suggesting that although King Charles agreed to Harry's request to stay at a royal residence, the Duke opted for a hotel stay instead.
On the podcast "The Royals with Roya and Kate," Sunday Times royal editor Roya Nikkhah shed light on the situation. "All the narrative from the moment Harry touched down and we got that statement from Harry's spokesperson saying it's not possible for Harry to see his father, his father's too busy, he completely understands that, set the mood music for the whole week that Harry had said he is too busy to see me," reports the Mirror. "I just thought something didn't feel quite right about this, so I dug away and dug a bit deeper and found out that actually Harry had asked if he could stay, and Charles said yes, come and stay, son. You can stay in a royal residence, you're near where I am, so it's going to be much easier for me to see you given what's going on with my diary and your diary."
That turned everything on its head because the narrative from Harry was, "I wanted to see my father, but he's too busy to see me." The reality was that Charles said, "Yes, please do come and stay in a royal residence," which would make it much easier for them to see each other. Kate Mansey, the Times assistant editor, commented, "Someone at the palace told me that the King was bruised by that statement that Harry put out," which all plays into why a close source to the royal family disclosed to The Daily Beast that relations are as bad as they've ever been. Nothing's been resolved, but Charles doesn't spend much time dwelling on the matter because he's too busy.
