However, the insiders said King Charles has ‘effectively warned’ Harry that the goodwill currently being shown toward him is fragile and that there is only so much patience available.

“From Charles' perspective, if Harry is unwilling to show greater flexibility and a degree of independence, then this tentative thaw in relations could collapse before it ever develops into a meaningful reconciliation."

The close insider explains, "Charles is set to basically tell Harry to 'man up' when it comes to Meghan and stop letting her wear the trousers in their relationship."

There is a growing feeling within royal circles that Charles has “already extended far more understanding and compassion” toward Harry than many people ever expected he would, the source continued and adds “especially given everything” that has happened over the past few years.

"The King has had to contend with public criticism of the institution, deeply personal allegations from his son, and his own ongoing health challenges, yet he has consistently left the door open to some form of reconciliation."

They added, "That willingness to keep engaging has not gone unnoticed by those around him. At the same time, however, there is an acknowledgment that Charles' patience is not inexhaustible.”
