According to reports, Prince Harry had been hoping to spend some quality time with his father, King Charles, at Sandringham after flying back to the UK following the King's cancer diagnosis. However, it seems that their plans were thwarted as the prince was only able to have a brief meeting with his father at Clarence House.
Sources revealed that Harry had been looking forward to a few days at Sandringham with his father, but instead was asked to limit his visit to just 30 minutes. It was believed that there was a fear that if Harry went to Sandringham, he would never leave. This news comes just days after rumors surfaced that the prince was considering a temporary return to his royal duties while Charles undergoes cancer treatment.
However, it seems that Buckingham Palace has already ruled out this possibility. According to insiders, the terms set during the Sandringham summit, which took place before Harry and his wife, Meghan, stepped down as senior royals, still stand. This effectively rules out a "half in, half out" approach for the prince. A source from the Palace confirmed that the terms were clear and that the King's illness has not changed the situation. Another source reiterated that the view that a hybrid model of being a working royal is not suitable still stands.
Harry, who stepped down from his royal duties with Meghan in 2020, is currently a counsellor of state. However, he is not expected to take on any of the King's duties while he recovers. Recently, the pair spent some time together at Clarence House, with reports of several warm exchanges between them. Sources say that Charles, who is 75 years old, is eager to reconcile with his son and spend more time with him, believing that it would be beneficial for the monarchy.
It is a difficult time for the royal family as they come to terms with Charles' diagnosis. However, it seems that the terms set during the Sandringham summit still hold, and Harry will not be taking on any royal duties during this time. Despite this, it is heartening to hear that the father and son are working towards rebuilding their relationship, and hopefully, we will see more of them together in the future.
