Harry’s tea with the King may spark talk of reconciliation, but the real test lies ahead. Charles has left the door open, yet trust remains the greatest hurdle after years of leaks and betrayals. If Harry cannot keep private talks private, the reunion will be short-lived. And with William and Kate pointedly absent, it’s clear no progress can be made there until Harry apologizes to them directly — both in public and in private. The ball is firmly in his court.
