King Charles and Prince William have been at odds over some of his approaches to the Firm for years now but it seems the entire thing has deepened for good now, and the revelations come via well placed source.

This source spoke to Heat World when citing the growing concerns between the growing disagreements among father and son. As for why, and the reasons, they all chalk up to Prince Harry and his efforts to reconcile.

After having revealed that life is too short in his own words to the BBC after losing his lawsuit for taxpayer-funded security the Prince has slowly begun his reconciliation efforts and some say, “Charles is at the point where he wants to forgive Harry and find a path forward”. But William simply won’t hear of it, no matter what his father says.”

Behind closed doors, “it’s becoming a huge battle because William has a ton of influence behind the scenes and the fact is that many people within The Firm agree that Harry and Meghan are poison so Charles doesn’t have a lot of support for bringing them back in.”

Not to mention Prince Harry is still in limbo about what the future of his security will look like, especially since part of his motivation to visit the UK more often is to ensure his children, both royalty in the UK see their other roots too.

According to the source, “it’s looking very likely that it will be shot down because politically it’s not being viewed as a move that would go over well with the public, which of course has pleased William to no end. He’s saying his brother is getting exactly what he deserves.”

“Charles is on the other side of things, trying to convince key people to push it through but he’s getting a lot of resistance and he’s convinced it’s down to William meddling. He’s furious and demanding that William back down but he’s only digging in his heels more, they’re at a complete standoff and the time is running out.”

What’s pertinent to mention though, that the source revealed near the end, is that the King isn’t the only one working to ensure, Prince William’s own wife is also trying “but it’s of no use” the source admits. “William is still livid and says even if he wanted to forgive his brother, letting him in would send the wrong message to the public.”
