Prince Harry’s team have addressed claims that he’s “trying to drive a wedge” between King Charles and Prince William after his recent visit to the UK.

Claims that Harry‘s meeting with Charles at Clarence House on September 10 was part of a bid to cause conflict between his father and brother were denied by his spokesman.

They told The Sun: “Categorically not. Harry is not trying to drive a wedge between the Prince of Wales and the king.”

And a source close to William reportedly said that reports of conflict were “rubbish”. For their part, Charles and William have been enjoying a break at Balmoral together. They were also together at US President Donald Trump’s state visit to the UK earlier this month.

Prince Harry’s meeting with King Charles

As for Harry, there have been reports of talks between his team and Buckingham Palace to get him and his father together at a public engagement. However, it’s been denied that Harry could return in a sort of “half-in, half-out” royal role.

In May of this year, Harry expressed a desire to reconcile with his family. It’s believed he hasn’t spoken to his older brother, William, for some time.

Harry is not trying to drive a wedge between the Prince of Wales and the king.

During Charles and Harry’s meeting in London this month, it’s been confirmed that a “framed photograph was handed over”. According to reports, the photograph was of Harry’s children, Archie and Lilibet.

In return, Charles reportedly gave Harry a present for his 41st birthday on September 15.

The king hasn’t seen his grandchildren since Queen Elizabeth II’s platinum jubilee in 2022, amid claims from Harry that it’s not safe to fly them back to the UK.

William and Charles ‘rift’ claims

Last week, a source claimed that there had been an “attempt to manufacture division” between Charles and William.

The insider told the Daily Mail: “It’s evident there’s an attempt to manufacture division between them. In reality, no such rift exists.

“Their relationship is as strong as ever. They are aligned in their work, with many areas of shared interest, and united in their vision for the role of the royal family.”

These comments come after royal author Tina Brown claimed that King Charles currently feels “less irritated” by his youngest son Harry than he is by William, particularly when it comes to the Prince of Wales’ work ethic.

It’s been reported that William is also unhappy with Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s proximity to the rest of the royals amid scandals regarding their involvement with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Royal author Andrew Lownie said to Vanity Fair: “I’m told William’s view is that his father needs to take a firmer line with Andrew. I think this could cause real tensions between Charles and William. William, as future king, will have to deal with the fallout from this. He wants this problem solved and has no sentimental attachment to Andrew. He has no time for Andrew, and he can see how toxic the Yorks are.”
