King Charles now finds himself at the heart of another royal storm following explosive accusations linked to his son.

Reports revealed that Prince Harry believes the “men in grey suits,” as Princess Diana once called royal aides, are trying to sabotage his efforts to reconcile with his father.

According to the Daily Mail, the 41-year-old is “infuriated” and sees a deliberate attempt to “torpedo” any progress between him and the King through hostile briefings to the press.

While Buckingham Palace has remained silent, insiders warned that such claims are damaging.

“The relationship between the Duke and His Majesty The King is a matter for the two of them and the two of them only,” one source said, urging officials to stay out of it.

Another insider also warned that the details of the meeting be kept under wraps as leaks could make reconciliation “more difficult.”

A Reunion Marked By Secrecy And Speculation

The meeting between King Charles and Prince Harry was arranged with the utmost secrecy, taking place at Clarence House in London on September 10.

It was the first time the pair had seen each other in nineteen months. Despite being just under an hour long, the encounter carried heavy expectations, with hopes it could open the door to future meetings.

Initially, insiders from the Duke’s circle described the gathering as a sign of progress, even calling it a “thawing” in relations.

Reports suggested it might pave the way for Harry to return to the U.K. several times a year for both his own charity work and, possibly, royal duties.

Yet, all hopes were dashed when other sources described the exchange as “distinctly formal.”

Some even claimed Prince Harry felt the atmosphere was “very official, like an official visit,” a portrayal that drew intense denials from his team.

As speculation mounted, Prince Harry’s spokesperson issued a rare public statement to PEOPLE, strongly rejecting claims about the meeting.

“Recent reporting of The Duke’s view of the tone of the meeting is categorically false,” the spokesperson said. “The quotes attributed to him are pure invention fed, one can only assume, by sources intent on sabotaging any reconciliation between father and son.”

A report had suggested that the dad of two left the tea, describing it as stiff and impersonal.

However, Harry's team dismissed that account outright, stressing that it misrepresented the reality of the reunion.

At the reunion, what should have been a simple gesture of goodwill quickly became another flashpoint.

Insiders reported that gifts were exchanged during the meeting. Prince Harry reportedly gifted his father a framed family photo, while King Charles gave his son a present for his 41st birthday.

Initial reports speculated that the picture showed Harry, his wife, Meghan, and their children.

However, Harry’s spokesperson quickly set the record straight, explaining the photograph did not feature the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

“While we would have preferred such details to remain private, for the sake of clarity, we can confirm that a framed photograph was handed over, however, the image did not contain the Duke and Duchess,” the spokesperson shared.

Instead, the statement suggested that the photo was of Harry and Meghan’s kids, Archie and Lilibet, whom King Charles has barely seen since their birth.

The fallout from the Clarence House meeting has left both King Charles and Prince Harry facing uncertainty.

Some insiders believe the storm of leaks makes another reunion less likely in the near future.

As royal expert Robert Hardman explained, “If we hear nothing, there will be another meeting. If we hear something, it will be a very long time before there is one.”

Despite the chaos, Prince Harry has signaled his desire to focus on his father.

Speaking to The Guardian after the visit, he said, “The focus really has to be on my dad.”

During a London reception for the Invictus Games, he also added that the King was “great.”

Yet, given the years of public criticism Harry has directed toward both the royal family and the monarchy, palace insiders remain wary.
