King Charles can't have 'unilateral' talks with Prince Harry if Prince William is 'not' in agreement: Royal author

King Charles III’s actions need to be in tandem with both Prince William and Prince Harry, and he cannot have unilateral discussions if the Prince of Wales is not in agreement, revealed royal biographer Robert Hardman.
Hardman, author of Charles III, New King, New Court, spoke to the Daily Beast about the complexities surrounding the fractured family dynamic, stressing that any action by the King must involve both brothers equally.
“Whatever the King does needs to be done in tandem with both brothers, not just one. He can’t have unilateral discussions if William isn’t in agreement,” Hardman said, stressing the necessity of a "three-way process" for any reconciliation.
The author suggested that Prince William’s agreement is crucial due to the potential impact on his future inheritance and the public perception of any decisions made.
Hardman acknowledged the challenges, saying, "It’s tricky, and a situation nobody wants. But whatever the way forward is, it has to work for everybody."
The biographer also believes Prince Harry's memoir, Spare, significantly strained the relationship with Prince William due to its public airing of private family matters. Hardman noted, "Things that happened between the siblings were made public, which is a huge deal for someone who values privacy like William."
The new edition of Hardman’s book reveals that King Charles’ hesitation to engage with Prince Harry stems partly from concerns about becoming entangled in Harry’s legal battle with the UK government over his security arrangements.
