Prince Harry’s relationship with the Mountbatten-Windsors continues to make headlines. And while tensions between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family have been well-documented since their 2020 relocation, there are reports that both sides are now pushing for peace.
“There have been so many disagreements, differences,” Prince Harry explained to BBC’s Nada Tawfik of his relationship with the Mountbatten-Windsors earlier this year. “I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point in continuing to fight anymore. Life is precious.”

The sit-down meeting was the first time the duo had seen each other since February 2024. And according to sources, it was a success, marking “an important first step towards rebuilding their father-and-son relationship.”
