Prince Harry Is ‘Forcing’ Himself Back Into Prince William’s Life Amid U.K. Return

Prince William is reluctantly coming around to the idea of a truce with Prince Harry, says a source — if only to avoid scheduling conflicts.

“William has given the go-ahead for his team to speak to Harry’s staff to coordinate things when necessary because he’s realized it will look ridiculous if their engagements are overlapping,” the source explains to Closer. “There needs to be some level of coordination, particularly as Harry steps up his philanthropy within the U.K.”

“This willingness by William to coordinate is being seen as a step towards a truce,” adds the source. “Albeit a very small one.”

As Closer previously reported, the Spare author, 41, and wife Meghan Markle recently decided to move back to England with kids Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, after six years of living in California.

The Prince of Wales, 44, “would love to continue to ignore Meghan and Harry and avoid ever being in the same room as them again, but that clearly isn’t going to be possible,” says the source. “They are very intent on forcing themselves back in and the king is allowing it.”

On July 10, the entire Sussex clan visited King Charles III at his country home, Highgrove House, marking the first time the family members had all been in a room together in four years.

However, even the 77-year-old is said to be in the dark about Harry’s plans now that he’s returned to his homeland.

“The last thing William wants is to be dealing with Harry — he would much rather he and Meghan stayed put in America and stayed totally out of his life,” says the source. “Harry is still pushing for a one-on-one dialogue but for now, [coordinating schedules] is about as far as William is willing to go, and he’s far from happy that he’s even got to do that.”
