A video shared by the palace of King Charles and Prince William whispering during an official ceremony may hold a significant meaning for royal observers, especially those who keenly watch the monarch and his eldest son's ongoing rift with Prince Harry.
The clip was part of a social media post which contained multiple photos and videos as the Prince of Wales was installed as Great Master of the order at the event at Westminster Abbey.
King Charles face beamed with a smile as his son walked beside him, preparing to take over the role that the monarch had previously held.
The warm display between King Charles and Prince William may prompt comparisons to Prince Harry's recent BBC interview in which he shed light on his relationship with the royal family.
If Prince Harry's words are to be believed his father is not willing to talk to him for everything he has done after parting ways with the royal family.
While the monarch appeared completely content with his heir, his rigid stance towards Harry might come across discriminating.
During his latest interview with BBC, Harry looked sad and his offer for peace seemed to be genuine as he spoke of life's fragility and his father's life expectancy.
While palace was quick to dismiss his claims of the alleged influence by his father in government's decision over his security, it didn't bother to say single word about Harry's offer for reconciliation.
The palace's reaction seemed to be confirming Prince Harry's claim about his father's feelings towards him.
Prince Harry categorically said that he wanted the feud to end because he saw no point in continuing to fight.
Given King Charles's ongoing cancer treatment, he might want to reconsider his stance towards Prince Harry, especially since Harry's offer for reconciliation seems genuine
Prince William may feel betrayed by Harry's action—his Oprah interview, Netflix documentary, and memoir Spare, after his departure from the royal family but the Duke of Sussex's willingness for reconciliation is all that should suffice.
The warmth between King Charles and Prince William might highlight the complexity of Harry's situation, where he's torn between his birth family and the family he's built.
