Should King Charles and Prince Harry reconcile now?

Of course, Charles should reconcile with Harry and vice versa. Quickly. After all, neither of them started a war of aggression against the other, they just did what fathers and sons do. Charles has betrayed the children's beloved mother and has not always given the sons the loving attention they deserve. Harry married a woman Papa doesn't like very much and has spilled some family tidbits.

Few things are more tragic than holding grudges against relatives over such banalities and delaying reconciliation until one of the unreconciled is dead. Charles is over 70 and only the women in his family were long-lived.

Standing at the grave and grieving over the unsaid is a pain not wished on anyone. Not even a king and his well-cared for son, whose greatest tragedy is that he cannot become what billions of other people cannot become either: king.

The author is ashamed that he did not visit his mother on her 85th birthday. Two days later, when he wanted to do it, she was dead.

Why should Charles III. end a family quarrel just because he became king? His quarrel with his son Harry and his wife Meghan, alongside disputes over the throne, intrigues and attempted assassination from British history, looks like a wellness cure.

The fact that Charles' stuttering grandfather George loathed his brother Edward is no secret to viewers of the royal series "The Crown". Edward had to abdicate in 1936 because he loved a divorced Nazi sympathizer - and was therefore rejected by his own mother.

Were it not for this family tragedy, Charles would hardly be king today. His ancestor from the House of Hanover - George II, died 1760 - was known to hate his father, his wife and his son to the core; Britain flourished under him.

Didn't Harry's mother, Lady Diana of blessed memory, also keep to the eternal rule of royal family strife? And did Charles reconcile with her when he was a prince? Even! Noblesse oblige.

The author is a staunch Republican and loves the royals, especially when they wear a kilt.
