Prince Harry apparently has "no intention" of rendezvousing with his father King Charles III and brother Prince William next month. It was reported just last week that the Duke of Sussex, 38, would engage in "peace talks" with his estranged family members as the royals mark the first anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's death. However, these plans have been seemingly ripped up and binned, with a source telling The Mirror that their relationship remains "firmly rooted at rock bottom" and will not be burying their grievances.

“peace talks,” set to go down next month.Publicist Matt Yanofsky told Mirror that the so-called summit seems to be more of a PR move rather than a genuine meeting, and to expect little more than just another episode in the royal family’s dramatic “soap opera.” “Only the men in that room know what will happen, but from a public relations standpoint, the royal family depends on storylines to stay in the news, especially when the public’s approval of the royals is in decline,” Yanofsky explained.“This is another story point…which is great for the entire family [and the viewers at home],” he continued.Charles, 74, and Harry, 38, are slated to meet on Sept. 17 for a father-son chat.

Prince Harry will not be meeting with Prince William for peace-talks anytime soon as friends of the heir say there is 'no chance' of an upcoming face-to-face reconciliation.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director With the long “Elvis” awards season behind him, Austin Butler is gearing up for two major upcoming releases: Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part 2” and the Apple TV+ miniseries “Masters of the Air.” The latter comes from executive producers Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks and serves as the third installment in their long-running World War II saga that also includes the acclaimed “Band of Brothers” and “The Pacific.” In a recent interview with The Times of London, Butler revealed that he nabbed a starring role in “Masters of the Air” after Hanks grew concerned about his mental health on “Elvis.” According to Butler, Hanks told him: “You have immersed yourself so deeply in ‘Elvis’ that, for your mental health, it would be wise to go straight into something else. If you just jump off the train, you might have emotional whiplash… and, you know, I’ve got this thing I’m producing.'” Butler said “Elvis” forced him “to go to the very edge of what is possible, and not every experience will be like that.

The Order of Succession is something that cannot be altered by personal preference. While the British royals understand this, it would seem that one foreign country had not grasped this as they made a rather strange offer to the Duke of Edinburgh in 1994. Huge socio-political change in the country at the time prompted them to ask the late Queen's youngest son, Prince Edward, to serve as their head of state.The unusual offer was called "charming" but had to be sensibly declined by Buckingham Palace.

The fallout between the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex has been documented in extensive detail, ever since Prince Harry told ITV that he and his brother were "on different paths" during his tour of South Africa in 2019. In the years that have followed, several explosive claims have been made in TV interviews and in Harry's memoir Spare - including an alleged fight at Harry's Nottingham Cottage home and suggestions that William had told his brother that his children were not Harry's "responsibility."
