King Charles has had a "heart-to-heart" phone call with Prince Harry to try and "clear the air" ahead of the coronation, it has been reported.
The Duke of Sussex will be attending his father's coronation after weeks of speculation, with his wife Meghan Markle staying back in California.
The coronation schedule is jam-packed down to the minute and it is understood there will be no time for an in-person meeting to discuss the elephant in the room after the Duke's bombshell memoir Spare and Netflix documentary covering intimate details of his and his family's life.
Instead, the pair had a conversation over the phone to "ease the path to rapprochement" as it appears Charles is keen to "welcome his son".
Ingrid Seward, the editor of Majesty Magazine, told the Sun: “Out of politeness you’d think Harry would want to mingle with his family no matter how difficult that might be for him.
“They all have really tight schedules but it would be nice to stick around and be friendly.”
She added: “I’m glad he has spoken to his father, which has eased the path to rapprochement. Charles will welcome his son. I think his relationship with William is for another time.”
An insider previously told the Mirror that Charles is delighted Harry is coming.
An insider said: “The King has previously spoken of loving both his sons and that remains the case.
“Harry would have deeply regretted not attending the ceremony.
“Archie’s birthday has provided the perfect excuse for Meghan to stay behind and, with all things considered, it’s probably the right thing to do."
However, there aren't any plans for Harry to have any warm reunions with his brother William over the coronation weekend.
Harry will be alongside other family members including William and Kate at the crowning.
Just weeks away, and both Camilla and Charles are making plans about who will play what role and who will be in the background.
Charles already decided that working royals will be the only ones allowed on the balcony at Buckingham Palace during the flypast.
Furthermore, he's culled non-royal dukes from the invite list.
The King has also told peers to leave their coronation robes and coronets at home and come dressed in what amounts to a business suit - after they have been worn for more than 500 years.
