Prince Harry and Prince Charles have reportedly held a series of secret 'clear the air' talks with one another to try and patch things up ahead of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
There are several opportunities for Harry to return to the UK this year, including a memorial for his grandfather Prince Philip in the spring and the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations, due to be held in June.

According to the Metro, video calls between Prince Charles and his son were 'friendly' and began after Harry reached out to his dad.
However, the Daily Mirror reports that royal family expert Ingrid Seward is claiming the Windsors will 'breathe a sigh of relief' if Harry and wife Meghan fail to attend Prince Philip's memorial.
The Sun claims Harry is expected to return to the UK for the jubilee celebrations and should be on much better terms with his family when he next sees them.
A source said, 'There has been a definite thaw in relations between Harry and Charles. They are on much better terms and have been having friendly chats and video calls.
'It has been suggested to Harry he may live to regret any lingering family bitterness, and he has taken that on board.
'There is a feeling he is coming back more into the fold and wants to be closer to his family.'
Harry recently raised concerns about his family's security if they were to visit the UK. The prince lost his police security when he stepped back from royal duties in 2020, and now wants the extra security and intelligence that the police can provide when he is in the UK.
He has said he will fund it himself 'not to impose on the taxpayer', and insisted he needs to 'ensure' the safety of his family before bringing them back to the UK.
The Home Office blocked his request to pay for protection, and the Daily Mail reports that they 'will not back down' in a legal battle over the issue.
Harry is now seeking a judicial review on the matter.
