In a recent encounter, King Charles III responded with a four-word reply when asked about bringing back his son, Prince Harry, to the royal family. The relationship between the two has been strained over the years, particularly following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's decision to step down from their royal duties and move to the United States.

Claims made against the royal family in the couple's Netflix docuseries and Prince Harry's memoir, "Spare," have further fueled the rift. During a visit to the University of East London's Stratford campus, King Charles was greeted by students and well-wishers.

As he was shaking hands with one person, a man shouted, "Bring back Harry please, can you please bring him back please, Sir?" The King appeared not to hear at first but upon repetition, he replied, "It would be nice," before quickly moving on. Despite the strained relationship, royal expert Richard Palmer believes that King Charles would still be willing to extend an olive branch to Prince Harry.

Palmer stated that while the King is keen to heal the family rift, he has not met with his son during his recent visits to the UK. The heartbreaking four-word reply from King Charles has left many wondering if the bitter rift between father and son can ever be healed.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's departure from the royal family and their public accusations have strained their relationship with the monarchy. Buckingham Palace has not publicly commented on the situation, but the encounter at the university indicates the ongoing tension.

The devastating nature of the rift has caught the attention of millions worldwide, leaving them uncertain about whether reconciliation is possible. Despite the explosive accusations and continued distance, King Charles is still open to extending an olive branch to Prince Harry, according to Richard Palmer. The hope remains that the fractured relationship can be repaired, but it remains to be seen how it will unfold.
