King Charles reportedly has only one wish for his 75th birthday next month – to see his cherished sons, Princes William and Harry repair their relationship.
The King’s yearning for his two sons to put their differences aside comes off the back of the ongoing tension between the brothers, partly stemming from Prince Harry’s bombshell revelations during his chat with Oprah Winfrey, reports the Mirror.
A palace insider shared how the King longs for unity between the brothers, stating: “King Charles wants nothing more than peace to be restored in his family. He wants to draw a line under their past feuds and for Prince William and Prince Harry to get along – and what better timing than his birthday to bring them together.”
The insider noted: “King Charles has been through an awful lot since becoming king, and has been gallant in carrying out his duties while facing his own health woes as he announced he had cancer earlier this year. Now he wants nothing more than to make memories with his wife, sons and grandchildren. This is what he will treasure the most – especially as his milestone birthday approaches.”
Prince Harry’s relationship with his dad King Charles and brother Prince William have been a subject of conversation for much time.
In his tell-all book Spare and Netflix series Harry & Meghan, Harry makes various digs at multiple members of the royal family.
Despite all, Charles seems more inclined to mend the relationship. “Since inheriting the crown, he has spent more time exploring theologies and the teaching of their central tenets including the nature of forgiveness,” an insider claimed.
Charles’ has recently reportedly gained “spiritual nourishment” from dialogues with clerics which explains his timing for family reunion.
The insider said: “Faith has always been a part of Charles’s life and something he’s explored, but since becoming King it is playing a more central role…that reliance on faith and quiet contemplation has become a comfort and asset to him and helps him cope with the role as he adapts to being King.”
An insider added: “King Charles wants nothing more than peace to be restored in his family. He wants to draw a line under their past feuds and for Prince William and Prince Harry to get along. King Charles has been through a great deal since becoming king, and has been gallant in carrying out his duties while facing his own health woes as he announced he had cancer earlier this year. Now he wants nothing more than to make memories with his sons and grandchildren. This is what he will treasure the most – especially as his milestone birthday approaches.”
