"My sources say that while the King would never wish his younger son ill and has been 'pained' by the circumstances around their estrangement, he also remains extremely 'wary' of welcoming him back, given events of the past few years," royal editor
Rebecca English wrote for
Daily Mail.

In the past,
Prince Harry said that his security battle drove a wedge between him and King Charles III. However, sources claimed the government's recent review of his case will work in his favor.
"It's now a formality. Sources at the Home Office have indicated that security is now nailed on for Harry," a source told Rebecca English.

Before the government's review,
Prince Harry told the
BBC that King Charles III wouldn't speak to him "because of the security stuff."
Despite this, the duke said he wanted to reconcile with his family because life is too "precious" and he didn't know how much time his father had left due to his cancer battle.

Since losing his security access,
Prince Harry has claimed he can't bring
Prince Archie and
Princess Lilibet to his native nation.
"For the time being, it's impossible for me to take my family back to the U.K. safely," Harry said in his interview.

"I can't see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the U.K. at this point … I love my country,"
Prince Harry continued. "I always have done, despite what some people in that country have done. I miss the UK. And it's really quite sad I won't be able to show my children my homeland."
