"It's not the case that Harry is going to be welcomed back with open arms and certainly not in time for Christmas," a royal insider told
Vanity Fair following his trip.

"As far as the king is concerned, the door has always been left open for Harry, but Harry has to pass the trust test. If he does, then I think there could well be another meeting in the new year," the source continued.

Prince Harry and King Charles III are making strides toward a reconciliation, but the duke remains on the outs with
Prince William.
The source claimed the Prince of Wales has "no intention" of meeting with Harry.

"With things being so dire between William and Harry, I'm not sure Harry would even want to be at Sandringham for Christmas," the source continued. "It would be very awkward. He knows he'd probably get quite a frosty reception from most of the family."
Prince Harry painted
Prince William as violent in
Spare, which greatly affected their relationship.

Before seeing King Charles III, Prince Harry expressed an interest in ending his rift with his father and
Prince William.
"I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point continuing to fight any more, life is precious," Harry told the
BBC.
