English journalist
Tom Sykes claimed
Prince Harry's bold reaction to the reports about his meeting with King Charles III was precisely what people within The Firm wanted.
"Harry had walked right into its jaws by taking the bait and issuing one of his trademark angry outbursts at palace operatives, accusing the 'men in grey suits' of leaking 'pure invention' to the media with the aim of 'sabotaging any reconciliation between father and son,'" the writer alleged in a post shared to The Royalist
Substack.

Prince Harry's predictable reaction now gives license to King Charles III's employees to cause division between the two, Tom Sykes alleged.
"Having provoked a response, anti-reconciliation courtiers would now be able to say that Harry had betrayed his promise not to re-escalate tensions with the family or stoke controversy around the September 10 meeting which saw Harry meet the King for 'a private tea' at Clarence House, the first time that the King had met with his younger son in 19 months," he
pointed out. "And lo! The trap just snapped shut. My point has been proven."

In a statement issued by representatives,
Prince Harry slammed stories claiming his reunion with King Charles III was "awkward" and nothing more than an "official visit."
"Recent reporting of the Duke's view of the tone of the meeting is categorically false," the spokesperson
said. "The quotes attributed to him are pure invention fed, one can only assume, by sources intent on sabotaging any reconciliation between father and son."

Prince Harry emphasized the distrust between the
Spare author and the people around King Charles III.
"The relationship between the Duke and His Majesty the King is a matter for the two of them and the two of them only," they made clear. "The men in grey suits should stay out of it."
