Prince Harry Speaks Out on King Charles' Cancer Diagnosis for First Time: 'I Love My Family'
According to The Times, which cited a royal source, it is believed that Charles also wants Harry to step back into royal duties, given that it would “benefit the institution."
“On all practical levels, it makes perfect sense for the family to come together to support the King while he’s sick," the insider said.
"Much has been said on both sides in recent years, but that has never diminished the fundamental bond of blood, and there are now pragmatic aspects to consider, with the King and Kate’s wellbeing paramount in this," continued the source.
They added: “The details of the Clarence House meeting and subsequent conversations are private, but the feeling is that this arrangement could work."
