Overview

• On July 27, Harry proposed sharing a detailed grid of his upcoming public engagements with both Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace.
• The offer aims to “deconflict” his schedule with royal events to avoid media clashes and pave the way for face-to-face meetings.
• King Charles’s advisers have received the overture with cautious interest, while Prince William’s team remains skeptical and considers rapprochement premature.
• The gesture follows secret meetings between Harry’s and royal communications teams in early July that opened a tentative channel for dialogue.
• Royal experts are split on its impact, with some labeling the move self-serving and others calling it a practical step toward goodwill.
