Prince Harry did seek a meeting with King Charles in 2025 to try to stop the Palace's plans to strip him of royal titles and privileges.
This private appeal came amid increasing pressure from senior royals, led by Prince William, to consolidate the monarchy and distance it from ongoing controversies involving Harry and Meghan Markle.
The meeting, which took place at Clarence House, marked the first face-to-face encounter between Harry and the King in nearly 19 months.
Harry reportedly pleaded for leniency and the opportunity to maintain some royal status, emphasizing his commitment to family and public duties despite previous disputes and media fallout.
While King Charles listened and expressed a willingness to reconcile, the plan to remove Harry's royal titles continued to proceed, reflecting the palace's position on preserving the monarchy's reputation and reducing potential scandals. Harry left the meeting with mixed emotions but remained hopeful for a broader family reconciliation over time.
