One shared interest may be the key to bringing Charles and the Duke of Sussex together because a potential reconciliation is still being worked out behind closed doors, according to a royal expert.
It remains to be seen whether full reconciliation cann be achieved between Prince Harry and his estranged father King Charles after their recent 55-minute private tea with his estranged father.
While the meeting at Clarence House is said to have gone well, many are hoping that a public reconciliation between the Sussexes and the royal family could still be happening behind closed palace doors.
And while Harry has since returned to the US, and Charles is continuing with his royal duties as the monarch, one major shared passion between the father and son could be the key to bringing them together – if Charles is able to handle the ongoing crisis with Prince Andrew, according to an expert.

Both Prince Harry and the Prince and Princess of Wales have recently shared moving statements about their concerns surrounding the evolution of social media, with Princess Kate making a statement on the “epidemic of disconnection” in a powerful essay, warning others about the dangers of screen time and how it can impact a child’s development.
More recently, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed an open letter calling for a ban on AI superintelligence alongside a raft of celebrities and politicians. While on a visit to Manchester earlier this week, the King also spoke out about the “ghastliness of social media” when visiting emergency workers who rushed to the scene of a terror attack at a synagogue in the city.
While all parties are using their royal platforms for good, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond said their shared passion is a positive force.
She told the Mirror : “All three, Charles, William and Harry are becoming more vocal about the dangers of social media. And I think they are voicing the concerns of so many of us. It is a valid and impactful use of their platforms. But I don’t think it has any bearing on a full reconciliation between the King and Harry.”
While many people believe there may still be a resolution between the Sussexes and the Firm, Jennie thinks that may have been put on hold while the King is currently dealing with the consequences of the new allegations against Prince Andrew, which he has denied, which will cause him to revoke his royal titles and honors.
She added, “It’s hoped that that is still quietly bubbling on behind the scenes, which is precisely where it must remain if there is any chance of seeing them back together.” With the Andrew crisis and his work as sovereign, the King, in my opinion, has too much work to do with his younger son.
Following the release of Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, which details her alleged sexual encounters with the prince when she was just 17 years old, Prince Andrew, Sarah Ferguson, and the Firm as a whole are struggling to deal with the controversy.
In the days before the book was published, Andrew shared a shocking statement saying he would no longer use his royal titles, as the accusations against him and his ex-wife and their friendships with Jeffrey Epstein continue to “distract” from the work of the royal family.
Jennie said: “Perhaps, though, as he prayed at the Vatican with the Pope, both of his sons – whom he once begged to avoid making my final years a misery” – might have been in his thoughts and prayers.
