Harry Prince finds peace with his memoir and interviews, despite claims that trust is a hurdle in royal reconciliation.

King Charles III and his youngest son, Prince Harry, recently met face-to-face at Clarence House during Harry's visit to the UK. This was the first encounter between father and son since February last year.

Despite alleged trust issues, King Charles decided to meet with Harry, a move that some suggest was necessary to potentially bring the long-running saga to an end. The meeting, which lasted approximately 50 minutes, remains shrouded in secrecy as the specifics of their discussion have not been disclosed.

Prince Harry, in his recent comments to The Guardian, did not go into detail about his father. However, certain remarks he made might not dispel any lingering concerns at the Palace. The source finds it challenging given the level of detail Harry went into in his book, 'Spare', particularly about his father and brother.

Harry firmly stands by his decision to pen 'Spare' and the revelations it contains about his family. The memoir, a best-seller reflecting upon his experiences as a royal, including the loss of Princess Diana and his love story with Meghan Markle, has broken a 'rule' and could make it difficult to move past the issues, according to some sources.

Harry's openness in his memoir and interviews might make some in the Royal Family wary of further talks. King Charles reportedly wanted to ensure that any conversations with Harry were not made public.

Following the meeting, Harry told The Guardian that the coming year 'the focus really has to be on [his] dad'. King Charles, however, has been cheerful and busy as ever throughout this year and hasn't commented publicly on the meeting with his youngest son.

As for the Buckingham Palace's position on the possible publication of details from the conversations between King Charles and Prince Harry after their meeting on September 10, no information is available.

Duncan Larcombe, Woman's Guest Royal Editor, suggests that trust could be a 'sticking point' in a possible royal reconciliation. Larcombe predicts that King Charles might have to take a risk and speak to Harry on the basis that what is talked about remains strictly private.

Prince Harry's apparent willingness to speak out again in the future if he feels a story needs to be corrected or that he was favoring openness adds another layer of complexity to the situation. The question of whether this meeting marks a step towards healing or further strife within the Royal Family remains unanswered.
