Will they reconcile do you think? Are you bothered?

I wish them well as father and son and hope the family can heal their rift.

But from a ‘royal’ perspective? No way. Harry made his choices and as far as I’m concerned, he can live with the consequences.

I think The King will want to reconcile with Harry, take the royal situation out of the equation and its simple parent and child dynamics, and estrangement, all too common, causes a lot of heartache for both parties. It does seem that Harry regrets being so indiscreet, he actually looked really happy to be here. I think William is going to be a harder nut to crack, Harry and his wife have both been very mean about Catherine. Meghan of course has form as far as estrangement is concerned with not only her family but friends having fallen foul of not meeting her expectations. So whilst Harry, may offer some mea culpas, I really don't think she will and I think that will result in an impasse as to moving forward and embracing the whole family. I think Harry will have to straddle two separate positions.

He will choose Meghan.
As you say she has form for estrangement.

I cant see how he can make the two positions work.

Is anyone 100% sure that in the future, Harry wont spill any more Royal beans?
He needs the money or something?

Harry told the world his brother had been circumcised, seems he has no worries about speaking of his brother regardless of hurt,

I agree Annie Bach
You can understand why William doesn't want any contact, I can imagine how hurt and upset he must have been when Harry thought it was ok to tell the world that his brother had been circumcised among other personal details, I'd have been furious if my sibling had betrayed me like that too.

I think Harry realises his father is still seriously ill and he has come to ensure his inheritance. I hope he is not using his children as bargaining power, he knows Charles dearly wants to see all of his grandchildren.
I used to like Harry, he did much for good causes till his manipulative wife decided they weren't going to make money doing royal duties for free

I sincerely hope that the pair of them can have a reconciliation. However, it is unlikely ever to be the relationship that it once was, as too much anger and bitterness has been expressed publicly by Prince Harry, and I imagine his Father has been deeply hurt by it. I don’t think there will ever be full trust anymore, which is so very sad.

Me too, Anniebach! I can’t believe our perceptive late Queen would have had much time for him. He is an odious little man whose aim in life is to big himself up regarding our Queen and make list of money in the process. I saw him on tv once and he gave me the shudders!

Make lots of money, not list of money! My typing has gone to pot today!

Harry will have to earn back the trust he had from his family before he became a blabbermouth on matters which should remain private.
I used to like him but if I was related to him I would be watching everything I said in case he's gathering material for his next book.

What Harry said about Camilla was nasty, how can such be forgotten, her children must have been shocked, I doubt much can be glossed over.
