King Charles has been issued a warning that he will be "judged" by his handling of the ongoing feud between Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and the Royal Family.
The analysis comes as it emerged that the Duke of Sussex had offered to share his diary with Buckingham Palace in a bid to "deconflict" his engagements with those of the Royal Family.
The offer, which has also been extended to Prince William and Kensington Palace, is believed to be a gesture of goodwill and a desire to avoid clashes between the Sussex camp and the royals.
According to GB News, Harry's household has agreed to draw up a "grid" of his activities and share them with Buckingham Palace to avoid embarrassing overlaps between the Sussexes and the royals.
Veteran journalist Eleanor Mills has pleaded with King Charles and Prince William to accept Harry's "olive branch" and work towards healing the rift between the two branches of the Royal Family.
"There is nothing sadder or more depressing than a family feud," she wrote in The Telegraph. "Blood is thicker than water. Our kin are our kin."
Mills warned that King Charles's handling of the feud will be judged by history, and that the Royal Family's future reputation may be damaged if the rift is not healed.
"That is the yardstick by which you will be judged. We may not all be kings, but we all know what family is about," she said.
According to sources, Harry's offer to share his diary is a sign of a shift in tone, from one of conflict and competition to one of cooperation and "deconflicting."
This development comes after a secret meeting between representatives of the King and Prince Harry in early July, which aimed to explore the possibility of a face-to-face meeting between the two.
