A bitter brotherly feud, hints of reconciliation and the hopes that a grandfather will get to see his grandchildren‌Fraying relations started well before the Sussexes binned off their royal duties in spectacular fashion and they have lived in sunny California ever since. Harry announced he would return to the UK for a visit, piquing the interest among keen royal observers who speculated whether the familial rift could begin to be healed.‌That interest soared even higher when it emerged he would make the journey with Meghan and their children Alfie and Lilibet. There had been talk of a potential olive branch from King Charles and even a public appearance by the Sussexes.‌But Harry later hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons. He initially travelled alone to the UK amid security fears and needed to delay accepting a room at Buckingham Palace due to security concerns.In a brutal twist, the Duke of Sussex said the Palace withdrew the offer at the last minute. The Palace claimed Harry's team missed the deadline, formally declined it, then tried to change their minds too late. It's understood Harry has now been joined by Meghan and the children , with the family believed to be staying at the Spencer family home of Althorp.Perhaps most significantly, Harry suffered a bruising defeat in his high profile court case. The outcome overshadowed his work with the Invictus Games. An apparent savage three-word nickname shared by Harry and his disgraced uncle Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has also made a comeback, possibly denting a chance at a reconciliation.‌Speaking on the Sun's Royal Exclusive podcast, The Times' Royal Editor Kate Mansey said: "It was Dukes of Hazard, that's the nickname they had for Andrew and Harry because hazard, chaos followed both of them."They were the two big problems that were pointed out to me by courtiers, big hurdles for the king during his reign, alarm signals flash every time their names are mentioned. Do we expect this chaos every time Harry comes? Well yes, we do. Because I think, what we've seen, the people I'm speaking to at the Palace, it's a pattern of behaviour."Article continues belowDespite the tensions between the family members, King Charles reportedly still wants to meet with Harry, Meghan and their two children.
