With indications of a thaw between senior members of the Royal Family, a senior royal expert suggests that King Charles III might be preparing a landmark official gesture toward his younger son, prince Harry, that could be a major step in formal reconciliation, following estrangement.<\/strong><\/p>\n It is according to royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams that recent contact between the monarch and the Duke of Sussex would mean that Charles has been \u2018planning and will always look for a way in which to give public or formal recognition to Harry without upsetting the whole family equilibrium, as there may still be sensitive and difficult issues in play.\u2019<\/p>\n Indicators of a Royal Thaw<\/strong><\/p>\n Evidence of a possible shift in how members of the Royal Family perceive and deal with Prince Harry within official capacity:<\/p>\n * Opening of channels of communication \u2013 It is reported that king Charles has contacted prince Harry as this follows years of silence between father and son, largely since Harry and his wife Meghan stepped down as full-time working royals.<\/p>\n * Recognition of key projects \u2013 Observers have identified an increasing readiness within the palace to honor prince Harry\u2019s charitable ventures, not least for his tireless work raising the profile of The Invictus Games, currently bidding for a future tournament.<\/p>\n * Common ground \u2013 Although significant obstacles remain in areas of royal security and in placating prince William\u2019s apparently continued deep reservations about his brother, the king seems eager to pave the way toward a rapprochement in father-son relations.<\/p>\n So What Might the Royal Gesture Involve?<\/strong><\/p>\n Whilst a working royal role is seemingly still an unlikely prospect, analysts propose that the king might extend an honorary or ceremonial gesture that will mend bridges without any constitutional implications:<\/p>\n \u201cKing Charles has always said that his love for his son remains unwavering; a gesture of this nature would definitely tell the world that the family bond is being carefully rebuilt even though roles differ\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
