A friend of King Charles has exposed the monarch’s secret role in his estranged son Prince Harry and his family's return to Britain.

The Daily Beast quoted the source as saying that Archie and Lilibet doting father was “informally encouraged by the king” to return to Britain from US.

The friend of King Charles tells the Daily Beast that Prince Harry was “informally encouraged by King Charles to return to the U.K. because he believes that the royal family is stronger united.”

The friend added, “The king’s faith has played a part, but ultimately this is a strategic decision for the good of the family. The stand-off needed to be resolved.”

The outlet also quoted another source, a friend of other royals (but not the king), told The Royalist, “If the king didn’t want Harry and Meghan here, they wouldn’t be here. Words would have been dropped in the right ears to ostracize them and the newspapers would have been briefed that the king was not on board with it.”

“That is very definitely not happening. The king clearly wants them to be happy and settle here, and he and his staff are doing nothing to obstruct that. It’s a huge opportunity for Harry and Meghan to start again.”

Meghan and Harry returned to Britain with their children Archie and Lilibet on Wednesday.

The royal couple have also reportedly enrolled their kids to a private school in UK.
