King Charles is reportedly “constantly worried” about an issue involving Prince Harry that could hinder any meetings between the two, according to a Royal expert. The Sunday Times’ Roya Nikkhah was discussing the future evolution of relations between Harry and his father on The Royal Beat when she highlighted one major obstacle: his security.

According to those close to the Duke of Sussex, if his security situation was resolved, it could be a case of “swords down”. However, this solution is more complex than it may seem.

Roya explained: “There is an issue, an ongoing issue which people close to the King and people very close to Harry have talked about. It is the ongoing fight with the Home Office over his security in the UK which was downgraded when he left as a working member of the Royal Family.”

“The King is constantly worried that if he gets on the phone to Harry of if he sees him in person Harry is going to lobby him on this and wants him to intervene and he’s not going to intervene it’s a judicial process.”

“Harry has made it very clear through friends close to him who briefed American magazines saying ‘This is the key issue’ If this was resolved, he feels his father is the only person that can solve it, it would be, the phrase was ‘swords down’.”

Roya’s insights contribute to the ongoing speculation in 2024 about Prince Harry‘s potential plans for a more permanent return to the UK since his departure at the beginning of 2020. In recent months, Harry has made multiple solo visits back to Britain, including attending the WellChild Awards and commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, both events taking place in London.

Additionally, he returned to visit the King following the announcement of His Majesty’s cancer diagnosis earlier this year. This has sparked conversations about what a return could mean for Harry and whether it would be feasible for him to relocate his family from their Montecito, California residence.

Discussing the topic with the Daily Express, former Royal butler Grant Harrold remarked: “Never say never.”

He elaborated, “I’d like to think because of knowing how close they were that it’s possible, but I think the trust with the Royal Family is a big issue and I think in the back of their minds they are always going to worry.”

Harrold also mentioned, “Never say never, time is a healer. I think it depends on what he does over the next couple of years if we can see him come back in. I’m sure his father would probably love to welcome him back with open arms, they’ve just got to be sure that what’s happened in the past few years is not going to happen again.”

The Scottish Daily Express has sought a response from Buckingham Palace regarding these developments.
