There’s a lot going on behind the scenes with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, so much so that the Duke is being forced into a ‘delicate balancing act’ despite having suffered nothing less than a ‘kick to the teeth’ from the Firm and his father.

News of this forced shift has been brought to light by a well-placed source that just sat down with Heat World.

They claim, Prince Harry’s only motivation right now is to get the King on his side in time for the Invictus Games in Birmingham, UK and also for the sake of his kids, who even the monarch himself is said to be wanting to ‘see more of’. The source also added that the father-of-two right now wishes to “spend time with his grandchildren,” and “this will happen before long.”

Moreover, its said Harry’s also “very confident” that his father wants this trip to go ahead “just as much as he does.” Especially since “Charles has been quite vocal behind the scenes about wanting to put an end to all this drama,” according to the source.

As a grandparent, “he wants to see his grandchildren, and he wants Harry back in the fold. That’s becoming impossible for anyone to deny. So, although there’s already a lot of resentment brewing over the fact Harry has all these demands about Meghan, he isn’t letting that derail him.”

Its also said Harry was indeed pushing to get some face-to-face time with Charles during his recent visit to America, “but he had to accept that it wouldn’t happen.” Now, he’s on a ‘mission’ to arrange a call with his father, to hash everything out.

Whats pertinent to mention, per the source is that, to the Duke of Sussex “it’s certainly not what he envisioned,” and “it was a real kick in the teeth that Charles didn’t make time for him,” but at the same time Harry has decided he won’t be making a fuss, “because he’s very aware he has to tread carefully right now.”

For now and for the forseeable future “he’s having to perform a delicate balancing act between standing up for his wife and continuing to build a bridge with his father.”

Before concluding the source also said, “Harry keeps saying if they can get this trip right, it will just be the first of many. He has high hopes. Charles is trying to keep things manageable, but he’s also very aware of the resistance from other members of the family, which limits how much he can promise.”
