After King Charles 'spared' 55 minutes for tea with Prince Harry, during his latest visit to the UK, reports claimed that the sovereign was more 'frustrated' with Prince William than his 'prodigal' son.

In the aftermath of the same, insiders now suggest that Harry’s allies are deliberately 'driving a wedge' between Charles and William.

A source said that those briefing on Harry’s behalf are guilty of overplaying their hand.

“Whoever is behind this seems to have mistaken a brief tea and a slice of cake for the Treaty of Versailles,” the insider quipped, adding, “It is also clear there are fears that some in ‘Team Harry’ may be using this month’s ‘baby step’ forwards in the broken relationship between father and son to, perhaps sinisterly, drive a wedge between the King and his elder son and heir.”

It's been five years since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down as senior royals, boldly trading the monarchy’s pomp and pageantry for a quieter life in California.

While royal watchers have been eagerly awaiting a reunion, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have yet to reconcile with the royal family publicly.

However, former royal photographer Ian Pelham Turner believes the Sussexes could make a perfect comeback in the Firm as ‘royal ambassadors,’ boosting the monarchy’s global presence — especially in the US.

After their royal exit, Harry and Markle announced in a joint statement that they intend to become 'financially independent' and carve out a new 'progressive role.'

Sarah Ferguson is once again in the spotlight, and unsurprisingly, it’s tied to her checkered past.

On September 20, she made headlines when leaked emails revealed her apology to Jeffrey Epstein, after condemning him in public.

The bombshell revelation serves as a wake-up call for King Charles that more scandals are likely yet to come.

Commenting on the chaos, royal expert Lee Cohen believes Charles now has the 'golden opportunity' to cut ties with Ferguson and Prince Andrew for good and safeguard the integrity of the monarchy.
