Prince Harry to share diary as he tries to "deconflict" with the Royal Family
Prince Harry has offered to share his official diary engagements with the Royal Family in a bid to further defrost tensions. It follows controversy over the timing of the Duke of Sussex 's trip to the African country of Angola last month. Images of Harry retracing his late mother Princess Diana 's footsteps through a minefield made headlines around the world.
But the photos knocked coverage of Queen Camilla 's 78th birthday portrait off the front pages. Now Harry is offering a diary-sharing arrangement to stop a similar situation happening again, says the Mail on Sunday. The newspaper said the deal is even believed to extend to Prince William 's court at Kensington Palace. Sources said it is hoped the move to 'deconflict' their diaries could lead to Harry and King Charles to meet face-to-face.
Lines of communication between the pair remain open since peace talks were held with representatives from both sides. Their PR chiefs were snapped earlier this month meeting on a balcony of an exclusive London members club.
A source described the latest development to share the Duke's schedule as a significant milestone. They told the Mail on Sunday that Harry and his wife Meghan previously 'relished' clashes of publicity.
'But now Harry has shifted into a new way of thinking,' they added. 'The tone is now all about 'deconflicting' with his family. 'Harry still doesn't like being controlled by the Royal machinery, and that won't change. 'However, if the Royal Family have full sight of his movements they can at least plan accordingly. It's a significant gesture.'
A friend told the newspaper: 'Harry hopes to see his dad later this year, or next year. 'Things are moving in the right direction but, as always with the Royal Family, they are doing so at a glacial pace.
'But at least all is going in the right direction and that meet up will happen eventually. 'The right people are still talking to one another with that in mind.' Harry will fly to London for three days in late September to promote the children's charity WellChild.

Like I cannot be your friend in here. "And I will not be your friend on the outside, I can f****** promise you that. I don't want any association with you ever again." When he suggested that the duo may eventually become friends on the outside, she shut him down once again. "I don't think we will be friends Harry. You don't possess any morals or values that I look for when I'm becoming friends with people. Love Island star Helena interrupts Harry and Shakira sharing their feelings for each other in awkward encounte "My friends don't treat me like that. I don't think you have an ounce of respect for me, you've literally ruined everything for me in here." She added: "I literally don't want anything to do with you Harry." That's when the footballers couldn't help but tear up after listening to her resounding words of rejection. Helena added: "I feel like I had something genuine in here and it's like obviously it wasn't. "I just feel so stupid because you clearly haven't felt the same as I felt about you this whole time." She couldn't help but wrap her arms around his neck in a gesture of pity as she caressed his face one more time. As they let go she exclaimed: "It's where the journey ends my darling!" Later on, the pair were in the bedroom together where they wrapped their arms around one another for one final hug goodbye. I don't think you have an ounce of respect for me, you've literally ruined everything for me in here.

She soon runs back down the stairs and Shakira then says: "I do feel really bad for her." Meanwhile, Helena jumps into bed with Conor to discuss what she's just seen. The sad Love Islander explains: "They're both in the upstairs lounge talking. "Me and him are coupled up and exclusive right now, it's actually mental."

I just didn't address any of my feelings and we were flying…' Helena responds emotionally: 'I thought I had something genuine in here.' Later, Shakira questions Harry's sudden change in behaviour, telling him: 'Like, how you're feeling now is not making sense from what I've seen for the past however many weeks.' When she asks, 'What are we doing?', Harry simply replies: 'I don't know.' Amid the chaos, some fans have speculated that Harry and Shakira could well get back together, especially with the impending recouple which will see the boys choose the girl they want to couple up with.
