King Charles extends olive branch to Harry… with conditions

Published

on

Amidst the reportedly strained relationship between Prince Harry and his father, King Charles, there are hints of potential peace talks in the near future.

Sources suggest that Prince Harry might meet with King Charles during his upcoming trip to Europe for the Invictus Games, and if this rendezvous does occur, it appears that King Charles has one specific demand in mind for his son.

Prince Harry is scheduled to be in Germany for the Invictus Games, followed by a return to California via the UK once the event concludes.

This travel itinerary aligns with King Charles’ plans, as he is set to return from his summer holiday in Balmoral and then head to France for a visit. Sources indicate that this coincidence could pave the way for discussions between the two, although Meghan Markle, Prince Harry’s wife, will not be part of these talks.

No Meghan

If the meeting takes place, it would be the first time Prince Harry and King Charles have seen each other since Charles’ coronation in May. However, it would also be their first personal encounter since the release of Prince Harry’s controversial memoir, “Spare,” in January. In the book, Prince Harry accused his father of prioritizing his own needs over his son’s.

Should the peace talks proceed, insiders suggest that King Charles will lay down one clear stipulation for the future. According to an anonymous source quoted by OK!, “The King loves his son very much but he has been mortally wounded by what he has done. He will always be there for him but draws the line at public slanging matches.”

Royal insights

In both his memoir and a bombshell Netflix docuseries co-hosted with Meghan Markle, Prince Harry revealed insights into their royal life. Notably, Harry detailed a physical altercation with his older brother, Prince William, in “Spare.”

In a candid interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan Markle also accused a member of the royal family of making inappropriate comments about their son, Prince Archie, before his birth.

Meanwhile, at the upcoming Invictus Games, Prince Harry and Meghan are expected to make a united appearance during the closing ceremony in Dusseldorf.

Prince Harry, 38, is set to deliver a farewell speech, while Meghan, 42, will host the ‘Lifestories Scene’ segment, sharing stories of the courage and resilience of injured servicemen and women who participate in the games.

EU launches antitrust probe into Meta over WhatsApp AI policy

EU probes Meta’s WhatsApp AI chatbot policy for potential antitrust violations affecting third-party developers and competition.


The European Commission has opened an antitrust investigation into Meta over WhatsApp’s new AI chatbot policy. The inquiry examines whether the policy restricts third-party AI developers from accessing WhatsApp’s business tools, potentially breaching EU competition rules.

Meta updated its terms, effective January 2026, which have already barred new AI providers since October 15. The rules prohibit AI developers from using WhatsApp as their primary service, affecting a number of AI companies looking to integrate with the platform.

The EU’s competition commissioner is considering interim measures to ensure fair competition. If Meta is found in violation, it could face fines of up to 10% of its global annual revenue.
