King Charles has privately signalled he is ready to offer Prince Harry a part-time return to royal life when the duke visits the UK in around two months' time, but will not 'take orders' from Meghan Markle or bend on rules over using royal titles for profit, according to a royal insider.
It follows months of briefing and counter-briefing about whether Harry might rejoin the institution he stepped away from in 2020 with Meghan. The couple's decision to step down as senior working royals, move to California and subsequently criticise the monarchy in interviews and in Harry's memoir, blew open one of the most serious rifts in modern royal history.
