- "Team Harry" has been accused of driving a wedge between King Charles and Prince William.
- Reminder: Prince Harry just visited his dad in the U.K., and it was said to be a huge success!
- There's speculation that Harry could become a "part-time" working royal—which royal sources are shutting down.
Prince Harry just got back from a successful visit with King Charles, and he wants to return to the UK "four or five times year" for public events. But apparently there's a zero percent chance of the Duke of Sussex being allowed to do the "part-time royal" thing.
A source tells the Daily Mail that whoever is behind Harry's briefings "seems to have mistaken a brief tea and a slice of cake for the Treaty of Versailles." They add that "It is also clear there are fears that some in 'Team Harry' may be using this month's 'baby step' forwards in the broken relationship between father and son to, perhaps sinisterly, drive a wedge between the King and his elder son and heir."
Another source says, "These syrupy briefings from supposed Sussex sources are precisely why The King and Royal family are so hesitant to embark on any road to rapprochement. If the intention is to encourage a rebuilding of trust and relationships, they serve the precise opposite effect. As last week's State Visit clearly demonstrated, the power and impact of the modern monarchy lies in the unshakeable bond between The King and the Prince of Wales, supported by other working members of the family."
Truly, the drama! Oh, and yet another insider says, "The King is a forgiving man but has been absolutely clear in upholding his late mother's decision that there cannot be 'half-in, half-out' members of the working Royal family."
All that said, a spokesperson for Harry seemingly shut down this narrative, saying, "The Duke has made it clear that 'the focus has to be on his dad,' beyond that, and on any other issues as it relates to his family, we won't be commenting."
