A source close to the king who also knows Harry and his wife Meghan told The Sunday Times They believe the meeting will take place a few months before the May 6 coronation.
“It will take flexibility on all sides, but it can be done, it can be fixed,” the newspaper quoted the source as saying in a report published on its website.
“You need Harry here, in a room with the King and Prince of Wales, some other family members, some trusted ‘people’ who always have his back, so he doesn’t think he’s being attacked,” the source added.

“They both have to hold their hands and admit that we didn’t do everything right, and we did a lot of things wrong, and we have to say to them ‘we understand the pain you’ve been through’. The king can do that,” the source said.
Although the royal family has yet to comment on the book, the source said Harry’s younger brother, the heir to the throne, Prince William was “burning inside” over his brother’s infidelity.
‘Annoyance’
“Not everyone here is well-behaved, but Harry needs to be able to sit back and say ‘we’re not well-behaved either’. That requires a lot of academic flexibility, which Harry is not good at,” the source added.
Harry, who accused his brother in the book of pushing him to the ground during an argument in 2019, said he wanted to reconcile with his family but needed “responsibility” first.
The source said that it is important now.
“We have to continue, and finish in April. Then, we have to get a wife.
Another royal source agreed, telling the newspaper, that Harry and Meghan – who are leaving the royal palace in England for California in 2020 – should be invited before the historic royal event.
If this does not happen, the dispute between the brothers will turn into a “circus and noise”.
In his blockbuster autobiography, Harry complained bitterly about his treatment as the second son of Charles and the late Princess Diana.
The book also describes a series of often petty grievances after he got engaged to Meghan who also complained he was not supported by the royal family.
Public opinion in Britain has swung to Harry in the wake of the publication of the book – in the middle of the country’s most serious cost of life crisis in generations.
