Amid a slew of rumors, not only pertaining to the anguish the King faces over welcoming Prince Harry back into the fold – but also regarding William’s apprehension. A commentator has penned her thoughts into words and presented the conundrum in her own words.

The expert in question, for those unversed, is Ms Emily Ferguson, the royal editor for the Daily Express. She wrote about the ever changing landscape between the King and his heir but also highlighted how torn he must feel when it comes to risking the Firm for his personal hopes of reconciliation with his wayward son.

All in all the expert started by saying, “Harry’s desire for reconciliation is no secret; he speaks about it every opportunity he gets.” But the fear in the eyes of every fan of the Institution is whether the King’s penchant for forgiveness should be broadcasted to this scale, especially for a son whose been known to backtrack heavily.

But the bigger question that she asked was even more direct, because in Ms Fergson’s eyes the thing requiring the most eagle-eyed observation is whether Harry’s motivations about repairing relations are real, “or is there a more sinister reason?” because “some suggest that an appearance alongside the head of the monarchy could bolster his chances of receiving taxpayer-funded security in the UK. And a royal visit would undoubtedly provide a huge publicity boost to the Invictus Games.”

If looked at more skeptically, the expert said his actions may just be a way to ‘bank’ royal credits that his wife can use later.

However, that is said to be the part that instills fear in the heart of Harry too because “many behind Palace walls fear Charles is being manipulated by his youngest son, and is blinded by love, the desire to spend time with his grandchildren and move on from the bitter royal feud. And nowhere is this felt more keenly than at Kensington Palace, as the Prince of Wales continues to have nothing to do with his brother - and is sceptical of Harry’s intentions.”

Before signing off she also said, “While [William] understands his father’s desire to spend time with his son, William does not want it to spill out into the public and create another fanfare that’s best left to fictional TV dramas.”
