Harry–Palace Tensions Rise Over ‘Sabotage’ Claims After King Charles Meeting

Competing briefings now shape the narrative of a fragile father–son reset.

Overview

  • Prince Harry met King Charles privately at Clarence House on September 10 for roughly 54–55 minutes, their first in‑person contact since February 2024.
  • Harry’s spokesperson rejected reports that he viewed the meeting as cold or “very official,” calling the attributed quotes “categorically false” and accusing unnamed sources of trying to derail reconciliation.
  • The spokesperson confirmed a framed photograph was given to the King and said the image did not include the Duke and Duchess, a detail they said they would have preferred remained private.
  • Palace insiders told The Times that senior aides have worked behind the scenes to improve the family relationship and said they were left “saddened and perplexed” by the sabotage allegation.
  • Reports have discussed possible future UK appearances for Harry, though opposition to any ‘half‑in, half‑out’ role and ongoing practical constraints mean no formal plans have been set.
