Are you bothered?

No

I think I've got enough on my plate with my own family.

He's desperate to reconcile because I don't think that he can continue to afford the cost of private security in the US which runs at £3 to £5 million per annum, every annum.
Attempts to have the British taxpayer fund any of this have failed.
I doubt that the millions are rolling in . I understand that Netflix haven't paid up front this time , they just have an option to buy any of the Windsors' "content" which is suitable.
On a personal level it's good that he has seen his father who has been seriously ill as we all know.

I think The King will want to reconcile with Harry, take the royal situation out of the equation and its simple parent and child dynamics, and estrangement, all too common, causes a lot of heartache for both parties. It does seem that Harry regrets being so indiscreet, he actually looked really happy to be here. I think William is going to be a harder nut to crack, Harry and his wife have both been very mean about Catherine. Meghan of course has form as far as estrangement is concerned with not only her family but friends having fallen foul of not meeting her expectations. So whilst Harry, may offer some mea culpas, I really don't think she will and I think that will result in an impasse as to moving forward and embracing the whole family. I think Harry will have to straddle two separate positions.

It's up to them isn't it? Why should it matter to other people?

They may in a limited way, but I don’t see any chance of a reconciliation with the Prince of Wales.

Would Harry be so keen on reconciliation if the millions were rolling in? I just don’t trust his motives.

I’m glad he and the king have met up at last though. Hopefully he’ll keep his mouth shut this time.

So pleased to see the invitation from Ukraine and Prince Harry making a visit. He could use his persona to do so much good. People seem to warm to him.

I see that Doreen Lawrence has been contacted by Prince Harry to say that the DM had hacked her phone.

Will they reconcile do you think? Are you bothered?

I wish them well as father and son and hope the family can heal their rift.

But from a ‘royal’ perspective? No way. Harry made his choices and as far as I’m concerned, he can live with the consequences.
