King Charles’ meeting with Prince Harry has just become one of the most highly talked about reunions to date, and no pictures even made it to the public eye this time, to cause an even bigger stir.

However, that does not mean the efforts behind the scenes have stopped, because according to a well placed source, the monarch hasn’t given up on pushing for Prince Harry and Prince William to make things right, despite fully understanding how close to impossible an ask he’s making.

The source spoke about this with Heat World and during their interview, said part of the reason he’s so adamant is because Charles “just isn't prepared to accept that he’ll never have the chance to see his sons on good terms again.” According to some, “he thinks it’s absolutely ludicrous that this grudge has dragged on for so long and he’s vowed to do what it takes to sort things out, even if it means putting serious pressure on the both of them because he absolutely believes they are equally to blame.”

Another thing is that this trip wasn’t the stage to set his ambitions into motion because as the source puts it, this trip “wasn’t the right time” to force any meeting but “he’s made it clear that he will be tackling that in due time.”

They also say, “he wants them to start letting some of the bad blood go, if not for his sake, then at least for the sake of their children.”

To Charles, that's the “biggest tragedy” in all of this, because both sets of children, “they’re missing out on growing up together as cousins, and he desperately wants to change that before it's too late.”
