Richard Fitzwilliam told the
Daily Express that it's essential King Charles III and
Prince Harry meet far away from prying eyes. "What makes sense is for
Prince Harry and the king to meet privately and build up trust. However, there is no chance of that happening!" he said.

Richard Fitzwilliam noted that "if King Charles does not see
Prince Harry on his next visit, the blame is likely to fall on the Sussexes." He then pointed out how the Duke of Sussex's wife,
Meghan Markle, recently made a dig at the royal family when
she complained in an interview about how the royal dress code felt "inauthentic" to her sense of self. "Meghan has just attacked the royal family again in her interview on Bloomberg saying she did not feel authentic when a working member," he said.

Richard Fitzwilliam also recalled that
Prince Harry publicly disparaged the royal family in May when he said in an interview that King Charles III wasn't speaking to him due to his legal battle with the U.K. government to restore his security privileges in the country, which he lost when he retired from his role as a working royal. "In May, Harry gave an emotional and erratic interview on the BBC when he lost his case on security," Fitzwilliam said, adding that the subsequent "meeting between royal aides did suggest something might happen soon," but that "someone probably leaked" the details regarding the meeting.

Richard Fitzwilliam went on to say that
Prince Harry's business dealings with Netflix could also negatively affect his reconciliation attempts with his estranged family — especially if he contributes to a documentary about his late mother,
Princess Diana. "Netflix would obviously like Harry to be involved in a documentary to commemorate 30 years since Diana's tragic death," the royal expert said. "This may be highly controversial, especially with [Prince] William, probably with [King] Charles. So no one will blame [Charles] if he keeps his distance. However, they might meet and it might lead to something."
