Omid Scobie, the author long regarded as the Sussexes' most prominent media ally, has revealed that Prince Harry has "made it no secret" that he wants to reconcile with both King Charles and Prince William following the couple's return to Britain. Scobie made the admission in an ABC News Studios documentary, 'Harry & Meghan: The Return of the Prince', but poured cold water on hopes that next year's 30th anniversary of Princess Diana's death could provide the breakthrough moment. William reportedly turned down multiple documentary offers to mark the anniversary, including holding private talks with BBC Director-General Matt Brittin at Kensington Palace, wanting to avoid fresh conflict with Harry.

William and Kate staged what royal expert Duncan Larcombe called a 'show of solidarity' by appearing jointly in Liverpool on September 10 for World Suicide Prevention Day — Kate's attendance was unannounced.

Larcombe described Kate's surprise appearance as 'the regal equivalent of flexing their combined muscles' — a deliberate signal to the Sussexes ahead of their next public move.

The royal family is reportedly privately frustrated, with senior royals said to still not know what Harry and Meghan's motives are.
