Prince Harry makes very surprising admission after King Charles reunion

Prince Harry has lifted the lid on what his priorities are after meeting up with his father King Charles III for the first time in over a year.

The Duke of Sussex, 41, jetted over from the US to the UK last week for a short three day trip, stopping off Clarence House on 10 September to meet face-to-face with his dad.

He spent just under an hour enjoying an afternoon tea with his father, after not seeing him for a whopping 19 months.

And it seemed to have gone well, as when he was asked later that day by a reporter how the King is following his arrival at the Invictus reception, Harry replied: "Yes, he’s great, thank you."

For those who need a reminder, Harry and his royal family members haven't had the easiest relationship in recent years.

However, things began to take a more positive turn after the Duke said in May that he didn’t want to fight with his family and would 'love reconciliation' despite there being 'so many disagreements' over the years.

He told the BBC at the time: "There's no point continuing to fight any more, life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has.

"You know, he won’t speak to me because of this security stuff. But it would be nice to - it would be nice to reconcile."

While he spent time with his dad during the recent London trip, however, as far as we know he didn't meet with his brother Prince William and sister-in-law Kate Middleton.

And now, in an interview with the Guardian, Harry has reflected on the trip across the pond, including what his 'focus' is going to be from now on.

He told the publication that over the coming year, 'the focus really has to be on my dad'.

And when asked whether he'd like to spend more time in the UK and one day bring his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, the answer was also a positive one.

“Yes I would. This week has definitely brought that closer," he said.

Harry also addressed the backlash he's faced for publicly speaking out about the way his family have allegedly treated him.

His memoir Spare, was of course released back in January 2023, in which he detailed some of the shocking claims, as well as that Oprah interview, and a Netflix doc, Harry & Meghan, where they recalled instances of alleged bullying.

Doubling down, Harry told the outlet: "I know that [speaking out] annoys some people and it goes against the narrative.

"The book? It was a series of corrections to stories already out there. One point of view had been put out and it needed to be corrected.

"I don’t believe that I aired my dirty laundry in public. It was a difficult message, but I did it in the best way possible. My conscience is clear.”

He added: "It is not about revenge, it is about accountability. You cannot have reconciliation before you have truth.”
