According to royal reporter Richard Palmer, King Charles repairing the bond between sons William and Harry will be a tough nut to crack.
However, some believe Charles is eagerly working to repair his relationship with his estranged son Harry.
King Charles and Prince William Held Summit To Discuss Harry’s Future Within The Monarchy
In early January, the Monarchy received a deep blow as a result of the health crisis of two of its most senior royals: Princess Kate and King Charles.
At the time, Harry showed interest in returning to be a part time royal, but reports revealed William firmly blocked the move.
While some still think Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, may try to suggest a half-in half-out approach to being royals – they originally suggested this to the late Queen but the notion was rejected – Palmer believes it would be turned down flat.
“I just can’t see it happening.

The whole nation, and perhaps the world, may wish Prince Andrew to stay out of the public eye, but he’s got his own plans.
Maybe the Newsnight interview was unnecessary and a disaster, but what’s done is done. He’s lost his role as a working member of the Royal Family, and while he still lives comfortably enough, he no longer benefits from the royal grant.
However, some people would love it if he dropped his Hrh title, which he can now only use in private, and exit the Order of the Garter – the UK’s most senior order of chivalry – but well, he’s not complying. Above all, royal expert Richard Palmer believes the King won’t strip him of his titles for this reason.

Prince Harry and Prince William were raised as close brothers. Their mother, the late Princess Diana, always wanted her sons to have a somewhat normal life and tried hard to keep the boys close through their very public upbringing. And while they maintained a good relationship for years, things went south when both men were in their 30s.
Prince Harry met Meghan Markle, his now-wife, and tension between the family grew as Harry started to carve out his own path. Now, Harry and William hardly even speak — and one royal expert doesn’t think that is going to change any time soon.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, may soon be ditching their two-bedroom Nottingham Cottage and moving into a much larger, 21-bedroom home, according to an Us Weekly source. The best part? They would be neighbors with Prince William and Kate Middleton! In fact, the flats of each apartment have adjoining doors, which means both couples could enjoy date night without ever having to go outside — if that isn't royalty, we don't know what is! Since tying the knot on May 19, the royal couple has been living in Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace. William and Kate, who currently live in Apartment 1A, may soon be welcomed by Harry and Meghan, who may apparently be moving into Apartment 1. Supposedly, this was always a plan, but it had to be pushed aside for the time being due to the $1.8 million renovation, which included repairing the roof and replacing windows.

Well, this is fascinating! A reporter named Richard Palmer is making headlines today for interestingly claiming that the press is purposefully placed far away from Meghan Markle at royal events so journalists can't pick up on what the Duchess says to her fans. But why exactly is that move even necessary? Palmer hinted that it could be so reporters won't be able to hear any of Meghan's remarks that may be unflattering or break royal protocol as Prince Harry's wife continues to learn the ropes of her new role as a member of the British monarchy. "As for the Duchess of Sussex, I'd like to make a couple of other observations as a reporter who's covered her engagements. Royal rota journalists are being kept further away from her than we were before the wedding. That means we can't hear what she is saying," Palmer wrote via Twitter on Tuesday,...
