Royal broadcaster Ian Pelham Turner says King Charles' reported offer to host Prince Harry at Buckingham Palace during future UK visits is a 'potential lifeline' and a 'message of defiance' to Prince William, who Turner says reportedly wants 'no further contact' with his estranged brother.
The King's willingness to accommodate the Duke of Sussex amounts to a deliberate act of independence, taken in the full knowledge that it could unsettle relations with his elder son. According to Turner, the gesture suggests Charles is willing to prioritise his own bond with Harry, even as tensions between the brothers remain unresolved.
