Since becoming monarch, King Charles has reportedly sought a great deal of “spiritual nourishment” from religious leaders, and these figures have offered him advice
King Charles is ready to make a truce with Prince Harry – after reportedly taking advice from religious leaders.
A royal reunion with Harry, 39, could be on the cards if the monarch, 75, heeds the purported guidance offered through “spiritual nourishment”.
Charles, who as monarch is the head of the Church of England, “misses his son and his faith Harry could return,” a source told Daily Mail. Yet, Harry did not meet his father during his fleeting visit to the UK in May.
And Duke of Sussex was a noticeable absence from a Royal Family gathering in Balmoral, attended even by the Princess of Wales, who has made few public appearances since she was diagnosed with cancer in January.
A royal source told the Daily Mail: “Charles misses his son. He still loves Harry and wants him back for personal reasons – regardless that he and Meghan do not [want to] return to royal life.
“Harry will always be Charles’s much-loved son. He has faith that Harry could return. He misses the bond they once had, and the door will always remain open to him and his family. He does not want years of discord and disharmony clouding his reign.”
Charles was crowned king in May 2023 and, although Harry was present at Westminster Abbey, his wife, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, or their two young children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, did not attend.
Duke of Sussex sat two rows from his brother, Prince William, during the ceremony and it is believed Harry was not invited to appear on the balcony at Buckingham Palace following the ceremony.
But since the coronation, Charles has sought “spiritual nourishment” from religious leaders, it’s said. Those religious advisors appear to be encouraging reconciliation with his estranged son, a source told Daily Mail.
An insider told the publication: “Faith has always been a part of Charles’s life and something he’s explored, but since becoming King it is playing a more central role.”
They added: “That reliance on faith and quiet contemplation has become a comfort and asset to him and helps him cope with the role as he adapts to being King.”
