That is even something Harry, 41, and his father, 76, appear to agree on.<\/p>\n
A story appeared in the Mail on Sunday<\/a> over the weekend that seemed to suggest a new direction, speaking of talks of a \u201cpublic show of unity\u201d between father and son.<\/p>\n The Duke of Sussex and his father have been estranged for much of the last couple of years following a series of family rifts as well as a legal battle, which Harry lost, over the removal of the security for him, Meghan Markle<\/a> and their children.<\/p>\n But on Sept. 10, in a sign of an easing in relations, Prince Harry had his first face-to-face meeting with his father in 19 months over tea at Clarence House in London. It only lasted around 50 minutes, but it was hailed by most close observers as a positive development. \u201cIt\u2019s a massive step in the right direction,\u201d\u00a0Queen Elizabeth<\/a>\u2019s former press secretary Ailsa Anderson told PEOPLE following the historic meeting. \u201cIt\u2019s a building of trust.\u201d<\/p>\n Victoria Jones\/Shutterstock<\/p>\n Prince Harry in London on Sept. 10, shortly before he met his father King Charles<\/p>\n Harry was in the U.K. for a series of charity appearances in London and Nottingham, where he was largely well-received<\/a>.<\/p>\n Harry has made no secret of his wish to spend more time in the U.K. and bring his family. However, he is not seeking a change to the arrangement over any royal work, as was agreed when he and Meghan left the working royal family in 2020, and he hasn\u2019t asked his father for it, PEOPLE understands. When they stepped back, the Duke and Duchess gave up most of their links to royal charities, and Harry had to relinquish his official military affiliations.<\/p>\n Samir Hussein\/Samir Hussein\/WireImage<\/p>\n The then Prince Charles, Prince William, Princess Kate, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry in December 2018<\/p>\n A spokesman for Harry reiterates to PEOPLE, \u201cThe duke has made it clear that the focus is his father.
