Overview
- On July 9 at London’s Royal Over-Seas League, King Charles’s communications chief Tobyn Andreae met informally with Prince Harry’s advisers Meredith Maines and Liam Maguire, marking their first direct conversation in years.
- The off-the-record gathering had no formal agenda and generated only anonymous-source accounts alongside conflicting tabloid leaks.
- Prince William remained absent from the talks, highlighting his ongoing estrangement from Harry despite reports that he privately backed his father’s initiative.
- Both royal camps view the newly established channel as a meaningful breakthrough, even as full reconciliation depends on additional quiet diplomacy.
- Media reports suggest the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham could provide the first venue for a public reunion, although no official confirmations have been issued.
