Royal insiders believe there are moves to reconcile Prince Harry with the Windsors before King Charles’ coronation on May 6.

The Sunday Times reports that a royal source believes peace talks will take place in the coming months despite Prince Harry’s explosive revelations in Spare.

“It’s going to take flexibility on all sides but it can be done, it’s fixable,” the source told The Sunday Times.

“It needs Harry over here, in the room with the King and Prince of Wales, a couple of other family members, some of ‘his people’ he trusts who always had his back, so he doesn’t think he’s being ambushed.

“Someone like Elf (Ed Lane Fox, Prince Harry’s former private secretary) and Christopher (Lord Geidt, the late Queen’s former private secretary).

“Both sides need to hold their hands up and admit we didn’t get everything right, and we got a lot wrong, and we have to say to him, ‘we understand the pain you’ve been through’.

“The King can do it."

The source told The Sunday Times: “We’ve got to move on it, and get it done by April. Then we need to get the wives in. The King needs a clear run for the coronation.”

The Sunday Times reported that a possible mediator between warring brothers Prince William and Prince Harry could be the Archbishop of Canterbury, who married the Duke and Duchess of Sussex at St George's Chapel.

It comes after Prince Harry demanded the royal family apologise to Meghan Markle, claiming his family were treating him as if he were “delusional and paranoid”.

The Duke of Sussex told The Telegraph: “You know what you did, and I now know why you did it. And you’ve been caught out, so just come clean.”

He said: “It was all so avoidable. But they just couldn’t help themselves.”

The Duke of Sussex added that he could not understand why it seemed “shocking and outrageous” for him to tell what he said was the “truthful” side of the story.

Prince Harry also revealed he has enough material to publish a second memoir and cut almost half of the material he’d written in a first draft.

The Duke of Sussex told The Telegraph he chose to leave out several revelations because he was concerned his father and brother would not forgive him.

“The first draft was different. It was 800 pages, and now it’s down to 400 pages. It could have been two books, put it that way. And the hard bit was taking things out.

“There are some things that have happened, especially between me and my brother, and to some extent between me and my father, that I just don’t want the world to know. Because I don’t think they would ever forgive me.”
