A quiet but meaningful meeting between Prince Harry’s top aides and a senior member of King Charles’ team has sparked fresh hope for reconciliation between the estranged father and son – a rift that has plagued the royal family for years.
Insiders say the July 9 sit-down, held at the Royal Over-Seas League near Clarence House, marked a crucial “first step” toward healing.
The meeting, attended by Meredith Maines and Liam Maguire from Team Sussex and King Charles’ communications secretary Tobyn Andreae, was described as informal but “positive.” Notably, Andreae arrived with what appeared to be a gift bottle of wine – a possible peace offering.
“It was a good first step,” a source close to the matter told PEOPLE. “It is always better to be talking.”
Harry is changing his stance
While some within palace circles have downplayed the gathering as a routine professional exchange, the reality is that this level of dialogue hasn’t occurred in years. And for many royal watchers, the fact that the lines of communication are open at all is a major breakthrough.
“There’s optimism that it can be taken forward,” the insider added, suggesting that the fractured relationship between Harry, 40, and Charles, 76, may finally be on the mend.
It’s unclear whether the father and son have spoken directly in recent weeks. However, this behind-the-scenes meeting, combined with Harry’s public comments about wanting peace, may be signaling a subtle shift.
Back in May, the Duke of Sussex told the BBC, “I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point in continuing to fight anymore.”
Will a new chapter open for Harry and Charles?
The royal rift began in 2020 when Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down from their official duties and moved to California. The fallout only intensified with explosive interviews, a Netflix series, and Harry’s best-selling memoir Spare – all of which deepened the divide.
Now, with top-level staffers finally sitting down face-to-face, the royal feud might just be entering a new chapter – one focused on healing, not headlines.

The numbers behind Neville’s most damning Amorim criticism yet
Gary Neville has delivered his most damning verdict on Ruben Amorim's Manchester United yet as the under-pressure Portuguese coach readies for a crunch clash against Sunderland this weekend. Amorim fell to another sobering defeat as a rampant Brentford beat United 3-1 at the Gtech last weekend. It denied Amorim the chance to end a dismal record of failing to secure back-to-back league games in the same season since May 2024. United now sit in 14th, having lost three games this season, losing two and drawing one of their six fixtures, which has prompted huge concerns for Neville.

Kaviárové centry, hedvábná levačka. Francouzi jsou nadšeni z Karabce
Dva přesné centry na hlavu spoluhráčů, dva góly. U první trefy Karabec skvěle využil zaváhání rakouského brankáře, který chyboval při rozehrávce. „Jakmile jsem viděl, že má Adam míč, čekal jsem mimořádný centr. Pak už to pro mě bylo jednoduché,“ chválil českého spoluhráče střelec Satriano, jenž otevřel skóre.„Vím, co dokáže. Hodně jsme spolu trénovali právě na tenhle zápas,“ doplnil autor branky.Ještě před Karabcem mohl rozvlnit síť jiný Čech v základní sestavě Lyonu. Pavel Šulc si vzal na starost pokutový kop, ale selhal. Ve zbytku zápasu však bývalý plzeňský záložník svou aktivitou pomohl k cennému vítězství.Francouzská média se ale vracela hlavně ke Karabcovi.
