Prince Harry Loses Only Chance To Reconcile With King Charles After Breaking Royal Rule, Says ‘Source'
's statements in a BBC interview are reportedly hampering his attempt to reconcile with his father, King Charles. Speaking to the outlet in May, the Duke of Sussex hinted at a reunion with the king, given the monarch's cancer diagnosis may not leave him with a lot of time to live. Palace insiders exclusively told Rob Shuter's #ShuterScoop that Prince Harry breaking the royal rule has not sat well with his father, and he may potentially lose his only chance to mend the family rift. According to insiders, Prince Harry will now only be able to communicate about peace talks with King Charles through aides. Prince Harry is reportedly looking for peace with the royal family five years after he and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped down from royal duties over alleged fallout. According to Rob Shuter's exclusive report, palace insiders believe the Duke of Sussex's BBC interview might be the reason the father-son reconciliation might never happen. In a May interview with the outlet, the prince shared his thoughts on losing a legal challenge over his security in the U.K. Prince Harry expressed his desire to reconcile with the royal family but confessed that King Charles isn't speaking to him due to a dispute over his security. However, he hoped to mend the rift with his father. Referring to his cancer battle, he said, 'I don't know how much longer my father has.' Prince Harry's speculation on King Charles' health only caused more trouble in the royal family. Sources told Rob Shuter that the Duke of Sussex violated a major royal rule, which is to 'never leak, never speak.' Due to his breaking the rule, King Charles has reportedly refused to speak. Palace insiders told the outlet, 'No more Oprah. No more Netflix. If Harry wants to talk, it goes through aides. Period.' Meanwhile, insiders revealed that Prince William has no desire to be part of the reconciliation. They told the news outlet that the Prince of Wales has 'moved on.' Referring to the siblings' alleged rift, they continued, 'The frost hasn't thawed. Not even close.' As it is now, Prince Harry and King Charles' reconciliation rumors are on the rise since their respective royal aides met in London.

Meghan Markle Stands in the Way of Prince Harry & Prince William's Reunion, Says ‘Royal Aide'
Prince Harry and Prince William's alleged fallout was reportedly because of Meghan Markle. Palace insiders exclusively told Rob Shuter's #ShuterScoop that the Duchess of Sussex is standing in the way of the brothers' reunion. However, this report comes after royal biographer Phil Dampier told The Sun that Markle never had any 'intention' of staying in the royal family. He also claimed that the Prince of Wales predicted all of it from the beginning. Prince Harry and Prince William's tumultuous relationship has been the subject of many headlines, documentaries, and more. Now, according to Rob Shuter's exclusive report, palace insiders claim that Prince Harry's wife, Meghan Markle, is the 'true wedge' between the brothers. Royal biographer Phil Dampier echoed these sentiments in an interview with The Sun earlier this month. Referring to his interactions with the late Queen Elizabeth II's cousin, Lady Elizabeth Anson, he expressed that the Duchess of Sussex never intended to be part of the royal family. According to the expert, she viewed getting married to Prince Harry as a 'stepping stone' to 'new fame and fortune.' Dampier also claimed that Prince William was 'concerned' about Markle's intentions. According to sources, this worry affected the Prince of Wales' relationship with his brother. He reportedly believed that Markle's global reach and Hollywood talent were a 'poor fit' for the royal family. Meanwhile, experts claim that Prince William isn't the only one to raise concerns over Markle's addition to the royal family. Royal commentator Esther Krakue shared that King Charles called Prince Harry 'whipped,' noting how his son was influenced by his wife. The expert added, 'The Queen's opinion changed over time. Just like the public's.' A royal aide told #ShuterScoop that Prince Harry and Prince William's reconciliation will only happen if Markle 'is out of the picture.' They claimed that the Prince of Wales is well aware of this fact. While a reunion with Prince William is uncertain, Prince Harry is likely to reconcile with King Charles, given the royals' respective senior aides' recent meeting in London.

Swedish King Carl Gustaf leaves his family in stitches with his whacky dance moves as he celebrates his daughter's birthday
King Carl Gustaf of Sweden has delighted royal fans by dancing along to a song sung by a children's choir during his daughter's birthday celebrations on Monday. The monarch, 79, channelled his inner embarrassing father as the Swedish Royal Family gathered outside Solliden Palace in Oeland to celebrate Crown Princess Victoria 's 48th birthday. The heir to the Swedish throne was joined by her husband, Prince Daniel, 51, and their two children, Princess Estelle, 13, and Prince Oscar, nine, along with her parents Queen Silvia, 81, and King Carl Gustaf. A children's choir adorably performed the 1998 popular Swedish song Min piraya Maja, by Electric Banana Band, during a concert for the occasion. The song is about a beloved pet piranha named Maya, and the band often performs a dance when performing where they place their hands together, similar to the crab dance, and mimic Maya's sharp teeth. And King Carl Gustaf did not disappoint, as he took it upon himself to make the family laugh by enthusiastically showing off his hilarious dance moves. Shortly after introducing the young choir, the royal was pointing to the audience to encourage them to join in with him as he flailed his arms from side to side while chattering his fingertips together. The King then glanced over to his family - who were in a fit of laughter - and even inspired Victoria and his grandchildren, Oscar and Estelle, to join in on the fun. At one point, Estelle, who is second in line to the Swedish throne, is seen nudging Prince Daniel's arm in a bid to get her father to partake in the dance. And the chuckling did not stop there, as King Gustav seemingly left his daughter in stitches when they sat down to listen to the live music. The Crown Princess put her best fashion foot forward in an elegant mint green and baby pink full-length gown adorned with vibrant flowers. She wore her chocolate tresses in her signature slicked back bun and accessorised her chic look with white flower stud earrings. King Carl Gustaf looked typically dapper in a crisp beige suit, a similar ensemble to his son-in-law, Prince Daniel, who opted for a brown tartan suit. Queen Silvia unleashed her inner style prowess by sporting a pink, black and white tweed jacket emblazoned with gold buttons paired with an ivory shirt and white trousers. Whereas her grandchildren opted for more simplistic outfits, with Estelle wearing a summery baby blue patterned sundress and Oscar donning an all white outfit with shorts. However, Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia were absent from the event, perhaps taking care of their new daughter, Princess Ines Marie Lilian Silva, now six months old. The family were snapped together last month to celebrate the christening of Princess Ines at a lavish ceremony in Stockholm. The glamorous couple, already parents to Prince Alexander, nine, Prince Gabriel, seven, and Prince Julian, four, welcomed their fourth child on February 7. Surrounded by her family, including Carl Philip's sisters, heir-to-the-throne Crown Princess Victoria and Princess Madeleine, the little one was christened at Drottningholm Palace Chapel, just outside the Swedish capital. Among the glamorous guests were Carl Philip's parents, King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia as well as the newborn's older cousins, including Crown Princess Victoria's children, Princess Estelle, 13, and Prince Oscar, nine. It was also revealed that Estelle, second-in-line to the throne, is one of Ines' godparents. The Swedish Palace announced Princess Ines' birth on February 7, with Princess Sofia and Prince Philip's daughter eighth in line to the throne. While she is eighth in line to the throne, Sofia and Carl Philip's child will not have an HRH style title because of a decision made by King Carl XVI Gustaf in 2019. During his Christmas speech, he revealed that he was stripping his grandchildren of their titles so that it could help them 'eventually carve out their own future'. The monarch said at the time: 'The decision was to make clear who within the royal family will act as official representatives of Sweden in the future. For me, this is a way of clarifying what expectations are. 'It will hopefully be helpful when my grandchildren eventually carve out their own future. But, to that day, it is far away.'

‘PR stunt': Royal expert says Prince William will never forgive Prince Harry
A royal expert has said that Prince William will never forgive his brother as the Duke of Sussex makes an attempt to reconcile with his family. It comes amid speculation about the Duke of Sussex, 40, reconciling with his father after senior aides to Harry and the King were snapped meeting in London. The secret peace summit has sparked rumour that a reconciliation between Harry and his father is in the works but Prince William's aides were snubbed. At least three representatives from either side were seen speaking at the Royal Over-Seas League which sits just three minutes from Clarence House. It is unclear which side initiated the summit. A royal expert has now revealed that Harry and William coming to good terms again seems a far off prospect after the damage done to their relationship over the years. Speaking about the meeting between Harry and his father's aides royal expert Mr Hugo Vickers said he believed there's 'always a hope for reconciliation... if both sides are prepared to talk'. 'I don't think it's all gone too far,' he told The Sun. 'It's always good to talk. Lots can come out of talking, and you know it could perhaps lead to something. 'We don't know what they talked about or what their plans were. But that's a good sign.' However, there have been subsequent reports of Harry and Meghan's alleged frustration that the meeting made headlines. A representative denied their team leaked details of the chat. But Mr Vickers believed it wasn't by coincidence talks between Liam Maguire, Tobyn Andreae, and Meredith Maines were held on a visible balcony. 'We have to ask ourselves, did some random figure pass by and say, 'oh, hello There's Tobyn Andreae talking to the Sussex team - take a photograph and sell it to the newspapers'. 'That seems to me to be a bit far-fetched. I think it's first of all very odd to have a meeting on a balcony if it's meant to be private. 'And so, secondly, it looks to me as though somebody leaked it, and the obvious people to do that would be the Sussex team. 'Having done that, of course it's also absolutely in keeping that they would then deny having done so. 'I don't think it would be Buckingham Palace. I don't see what possible gain they would have out of leaking it. I don't think that they are particularly leakers where I'm afraid I think the Sussex team are.' But if Harry and Meghan did want the press to get hold of these details, it brings to light questions surrounding motivation for the meeting in the first place. 'Well, they always want to stay in the news, because they are celebrities now,' said Mr Vicker. 'They have to come up with a good news story and let's face it, If there's a thought of reconciliation, then this is a good story, because the relations between Prince Harry and his father and his brother particularly, have been very bad, which is sad. 'We know that the King has stated. I mean even Prince Harry mentions that in his memoirs, that he didn't want his last years to be made miserable between with rows with his son between his sons.' Despite hopes of a reunion between the King and his son Mr Vickers warns a cheery reunion with Will is a far less likely possibility. He said: 'So as for William. It's much more difficult because the barbs were sent in his direction from Prince Harry, but very much directed towards Catherine. 'That is very insulting, and I think William is likely to be more of an unforgiving person than his father.' Mr Vickers added: 'I think at the moment, if I was advising Prince Harry, I would say, get onto good terms with your father as soon as possible, and then that's step one and step two, try to get on good terms with your brother.' Harry previously revealed in a bombshell BBC interview that he had 'forgiven' his family and reconciliation was now down to Charles. The feud between the Duke and his family started when he and Meghan announced on January 8, 2020, that they would be stepping down as 'senior' members of the Royal Family. Since then it was revealed that Harry has limited contact with his father the King along with a slew of other revelations about the family feud. There was hope for reconciliation last year when Harry travelled to the UK to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of his Invictus Games. However, the King and Harry failed to meet due to the Monarch's 'full program'. The Duke was offered to spend his time at one of the royal apartments - however he turned it down in what was branded a snub to his father. Meanwhile, Princes William and Harry have not been in direct communication since the release of Harry's controversial memoir, Spare, in January 2023. Their last reported interaction was during the funeral of their grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, in September 2022, but conversations were said to be brief. The feuding brothers reportedly did not speak to each other despite standing 'virtually back to back' among mourners at their uncle's memorial service last year. The brothers have been at loggerheads since Harry and wife Meghan quit royal duty in 2020 for a new life in the US, where they have launched a succession of barbs at the Royal Family. Growing up, Wills and Harry shared many of the same friends who were part of their close, tight-knit circle. But their relationship took a sour turn after Harry lobbed vile allegations against the Prince of Wales in his memoir Spare. In the book, he claimed William had physically attacked him and knocked him to the floor in 2019 and made insulting comments about Meghan. The Sussexes had also targeted Princess Kate, when Meghan claimed the royal made her cry. The bitter feud was ignited with full force when the Sussexes told Oprah, in their 2021 sit down interview, that certain members of the Royal Family had speculated about Prince Archie's skin colour. However it was recently revealed that Harry had 'given his blessing' for peace talks between his and his father's senior aides to go ahead. It sparked a slew of reconciliation rumours with aides discussing potential ways to end their family conflict, though a proposal for Harry to make a royal return was not on the agenda. Despite the apparently hopeful move it was revealed that Prince William's aides were not involved in the London meeting. Harry has previously hinted at bad blood between him and his brother making reconciliation a distant prospect.
