What was meant to be a step toward healing between King Charles and his son has collapsed before it ever began. According to Rob Shuter’s #ShuterScoop, talks of a long-awaited reunion have completely unravelled, with palace insiders describing the situation as a “mess.”
The sticking points appear endless. Disputes over timing and location have stalled any progress, leaving the meeting in limbo. One source told Yahoo, “They can’t settle on a schedule, they can’t agree on a location. They don’t even have an agenda. Every point turns into a fight.”
Reports suggest the King wanted a quiet meeting at Clarence House or Windsor Castle, while Harry’s team pushed for a “neutral space” far from royal residences. The differences go deeper than logistics. “Harry wanted flexibility. King Charles wanted it slotted into his diary down to the minute. Neither side will give an inch,” an insider explained.
Even the purpose of the gathering remains unclear. “It’s gridlock,” said another source. “They can’t even agree on why they’re meeting.”
Meanwhile, Prince William has made his feelings plain, reportedly dismissing the idea as a “terrible plan.” Observers warn that the collapse of these talks could seal the divide for good. What was billed as a reconciliation effort is looking less like peace talks and more like a battle over the calendar.
