"His door remains open": King Charles "eager" to reconcile with Prince Harry
<p>King Charles is reportedly "eager" to reconcile the fractured relationship with Prince Harry, despite the Duke of Sussex's recent claims. </p>
<p>A source close to the monarch shared that King Charles has always shown a willingness to have a healthy and supportive relationship with both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, regardless of the rumours that have frequently been shared. </p>
<p>“Those close to the King insist that he has always made clear how much he loves both of his sons, keeping communication channels open throughout the last few years, despite the many barbs from California,” the UK <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2023/01/03/duke-sussex-wrong-claim-king-charles-has-shown-no-willingness/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Telegraph</a> said, citing sources close to the royal family.</p>
<p>Insiders told the British newspaper that Harry’s side of the story was “wrong” adding that Charles, 74, and his younger son, 38, have remained in contact and met up several times during Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022.</p>
<p>Their relationship has “occasionally been tense” but the monarch has “reiterated that his door remains open and that the Duke and [Meghan Markle] are welcome at any time,” according to the report.</p>
<p>In a recently released trailer for an upcoming interview with Prince Harry, he <a href="https://oversixty.co.nz/lifestyle/family-pets/i-would-like-to-get-my-father-back-prince-harry-s-desperate-plea-to-his-family" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> the royal family have shown "no willingness to reconcile" the fractured relationship. </p>
<p>Harry told ITV’s Tom Bradby in the explosive trailer, “It never needed to be this way. The leaking, the planting, I want a family – not an institution.”</p>
<p>“They feel as though it’s better to keep us, somehow, as the villains. I would like to get my father back. I would like to have my brother back.”</p>
