King Charles has made his demand of Prince Harry and it will decide what their relationship is like moving forward.

A well placed source weighed in on this, during a candid chat with Heat World.

According to them, Charles really has made it clear he “wants to see progress now, rather than another cycle of disagreements and misunderstandings.”

Another thing is that while the King has asked for ‘peace’ its also true that he also “wants consistency,” and that is why he put his foot down and ‘told’ Harry they “have to play by his rules, otherwise the door would be shut in the future.”

Reportedly, “The Highgrove summit was an opportunity that just couldn’t be wasted.”

Even Prince Harry is said to have understood how important this moment was and “knows there has to be a different approach if they’re ever going to progress.”

Moreover, “he’s spent a lot of time persuading Meghan they need to play the game if they want to be welcomed back into the family. This is their last chance,” they said near the end. 

For those unversed with the actual meeting that took place, which is rumored to have started all this – it was at Highgrove House, the home King Charles once shared with the late Princess Diana, during Prince Harry’s younger years.

Moreover, the meeting also took place simultaneously with a Channel event that ensured the couple was able to slip in announced, and un-papped.

The meeting is also said to have been an hour-long with the King showing Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet around the home, alongside Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
