King Charles and Prince William are facing growing calls to mend the rift with Prince Harry following the Duke of Sussex’s 40th birthday, which he celebrated away from the Royal family. Many, including the monarch’s former gardener, Jack Stokes, are urging the Royal family to bring Harry back into the fold.
Speaking to GB News, Stokes emphasized the importance of family connections, especially for Harry’s children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, who are growing up apart from their royal cousins. He believes it’s time for King Charles and Prince William to set aside their differences and prioritize family unity.
“I just feel that now is the time to go, ‘Do you know what? What is the point? Why? Why are we all hating on Harry?'” Stokes said, reflecting on the prolonged estrangement. “He had a family rift. Yes. We’ve all had family rifts in our time.”
Stokes highlighted that disagreements within families are common and should not result in long-lasting division. “We’ve all done and said things to our parents, our siblings, that we regret later on,” he added, stressing the need for reconciliation.
Before concluding, Stokes suggested that Prince Harry should be welcomed back into Royal activities, including those involving the Commonwealth, as a step toward healing the family.
With Harry’s milestone birthday renewing hopes for a royal reconciliation, the pressure mounts for King Charles and Prince William to rebuild their relationship with the Duke of Sussex and bring him back into the Royal family.
