Prince Harry and Meghan will not receive an apology from the palace in the wake of their bombshell documentary, the late Queen's former spokesman has claimed.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are understood to want to arrange a meeting with members of the Firm after the final part of their Netflix show landed last week.
The couple reportedly feel they have been subjected to "double standards" after Prince William's godmother, Lady Susan Hussey, apologised to charity boss Ngozi Fulani for asking her where she "really came from" during a Buckingham Palace reception last month.
But Dickie Arbiter, a former press secretary for the royals, cast doubt over any kind of reconciliation with King Charles or Prince William.
He told the Today show: "If they [Harry and Meghan] are looking for an apology they are not going to get one because the palace don't feel there is anything to apologise for."
During the final instalments of the Netflix documentary released last week, the duke alleged his brother, the Prince of Wales, screamed and shouted at him during a tense Sandringham summit.
He also claimed Kensington Palace "lied to protect my brother" when it issued a statement denying a story William had bullied him out of the royal family.
In a raft of other bombshell allegations against his family, Harry accused his father, now the King, of saying untrue things when the Queen gathered them together at Sandringham in January 2020 in a bid to solve the Megxit crisis.
Harry further claimed his brother's office, Kensington Palace, traded negative stories just like his father's had in the past, saying it was "heartbreaking" to see something he and William promised they would "never ever do" taking place.
On whether Harry and Meghan can reach any kind of resolution with the Royal Family, Mr Arbiter added: "They have had six hours on Netflix where they have continued to rubbish the family so I don't see a reconciliation coming about as a result of all of that."
It comes after royal expert Nigel Cawthorne warned things "are only going to get worse" with the imminent release of Harry's memoir on January 10.
Referring to Harry and Meghan reportedly requesting an apology, he told The Sun : "It’s a bit rich after what they’ve done. For the King to offer any conciliation would be below the dignity of the Crown.
"Harry doesn’t understand that the relationship with his father has changed. And don’t forget we’ve still got Harry’s book Spare coming out, so things are only going to get worse."
Meanwhile, just hours after the finale aired on the streaming giant on Thursday, the royal family put on a united front, with William and the Princess of Wales taking Prince George and Princess Charlotte to Kate's Together at Christmas carol concert.
And the King appeared relaxed on Friday when he enjoyed an impromptu dance with Eva Schloss, Anne Frank's stepsister, during a celebration of the Jewish festival Chanukah when he visited a Jewish community centre in north London.
