King Charles has been making things abundantly clear behind the scenes to Prince Harry, about where Meghan stands, about his motivations and the fact that any offers he makes to the Duke are “not up for negotiation.”

The while thing has been explained by a well-placed source that just sat down with Closer magazine.

According to their findings, “Harry wants to come to Charles with all these demands on behalf of Meghan, but people are warning him that’s not going to go over well with his father. Charles is not interested in appeasing Meghan or allowing Harry to let her pull the strings.”

The insider also explains, “there is no doubt Charles wants Harry to put all this nonsense aside and come home and he’s doing everything he can to pave the way for that but he’s not going to be taking orders from Meghan and wants to deal with Harry man to man.”

What is known though is that King Charles’ biggest motivations are said to be his desire to get to know Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

That is why according to the same insider, “from Charles’s perspective, this is about repairing a relationship with Harry and building a relationship with his grandchildren – this is what’s motivating him.”

Moreover, “as he’s proven lately, he’s still very much in his power and he’s only going to bend so far.”

So “if Harry wants to have a relationship with him he’s going to have to do it on Charles’ terms,” the source said before signing off. This is because “whatever offer he does extend is not going to be up for negotiation.”
