The physical distance between Prince Harry and King Charles has been significantly reduced in the past week, but there was still no possibility for father and son to meet.
While the optics may appear unfavorable to the Sussexes on the reconciliation front, things are somewhat positive behind the scenes, according to royal expert Jennie Bond.
She shared that while Charles was unable to see Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet during his visit, Harry understands the fact of how “high risk” the trip had been and the crucial mission the monarch was on.
Also, the Duke of Sussex was probably happy with how things were going in the White House, especially after he made a similar appeal.
It appears that Charles and Harry are united on a key issue in global affairs: ending the war in Ukraine.
Bond claimed Harry probably felt President Trump “didn’t deserve all the reflected glory of having the King and Queen in the White House”.
However, he would have been “quietly proud of the way Charles skillfully delivered some rather pointed and political counterpoints to the things Trump has said”.
She explained the mirror, “Harry is united with his father on the need to support Ukraine, for example. And he would have appreciated his father’s nuanced takedown of Trump’s insults about British servicemen and women and our naval power.”
