Prince Harry is reportedly poised to confront his estranged father, King Charles, but not without making a dramatic set of demands that have left royal insiders in disbelief, RadarOnline.com can report.
Sources close to the situation have revealed a significant list of stipulations that the Duke of Sussex insists must be met before he agrees to engage in any face-to-face discussions with his ailing father.
Prince Harry's Demands

Harry is demanding three major concessions before he’ll agree to meet with his father.
According to an insider speaking to #ShuterScoop, Harry's demands center on three pivotal issues: comprehensive security measures, stringent press control, and a controversial requirement for how the royal family treats Meghan Markle.
The source disclosed that Harry, now 40, is adamant that "full security for himself, Meghan, and their children while in the UK" must be funded by the King, ensuring they feel safe during any potential visits.
One insider explains: "Harry doesn't want another trip where he feels unprotected and exposed. He wants iron-clad guarantees — not vague promises. Security and privacy are non-negotiable."
This insistence underscores the heightened scrutiny and tension surrounding Harry and Meghan's public engagements, which have often been marred by aggressive media coverage.
Managing Media Interactions

Prince Harry wants full security for himself, Meghan, and their children while in the UK.
The second demand from Harry involves an intriguing level of oversight regarding press activity. He is reportedly requesting that Buckingham Palace take charge of managing media interactions to shield himself and his family from invasive paparazzi.
The insider noted that this request reflects a desire for a more controlled narrative around their visiting dynamics, saying, "Press control coordinated by Buckingham Palace to keep paparazzi at bay" is essential. This raises questions about the royal family's adaptability to modern media challenges and the balance between public engagement and personal safety.
However, it is the demand regarding Meghan that draws both contentious and speculative reactions. Harry has stated that he wishes for Meghan to be treated with the honorific 'HRH' (Her Royal Highness), including customary bows and curtsies from family members, despite her stepping down from royal duties.
As one source stressed: "Harry insists Meghan must be treated as HRH. That means family members must show her the formal respect of bows and curtsies. For William, that's a hard no."
King Charles

King Charles wants peace and to see his son.
This bold requirement has reportedly led to tensions, with other royals unsure of how to respond. Insiders suggest that King Charles is deeply conflicted.
A palace veteran explained: "He wants peace and to see his son. But these demands risk blowing open old wounds."
The delicate nature of conversations surrounding reconciliation with the royal family is further complicated by the public's perception of Harry and Meghan's role in contemporary royal dynamics.
Reconciliation


Harry's relationship with his family soured after he moved to America with his wife.
As the dialogue around this potential royal meeting intensifies, the ramifications of Harry's confrontational approach may extend beyond personal family relationships.
Hinting at the potentially irreconcilable views between the Sussexes and the remaining royal family members, a courtier pointed out: "Harry's offering reconciliation — but at a price. And that price includes the entire royal family bowing to Meghan."
