“But Charles knows Harry had a difficult childhood for which he, Charles, was partly responsible and so he is more forgiving than William.”
The author added that the meeting will be kept brief, in fear of Harry releasing any details to the public.
He said: “The meeting between Harry and his father King Charles will be short and formal, simply because any difficult conversations could lead to complaints being widely broadcast when Harry gets back to the States.
“Just as with the relationship with William, Harry‘s relationship with his father has been badly damaged by the publication of Spare and Harry and Meghan’s various interviews – both William and Charles are always going to worry that they can’t say anything privately and off the record to Harry without the real risk that he will go public on anything and everything.”
The duke had a brief meeting with his father last February when he rushed back home following Charles’s cancer diagnosis announcement.
Harry and Charles met for less than an hour at Clarence House in London, before the monarch was pictured boarding a helicopter to Sandringham.
Prince Harry’s visit lasted a little more than 24 hours before he returned to the US.
