"Claims that Prince Harry could return to royal duties were dismissed as the King made a public appearance at church yesterday.
Sources say His Majesty is 'firmly of the opinion' there is no way back for the Duke of Sussex as a working royal 'in any way, shape or form'.
Insiders stress this does not mean Charles, 75, isn't open to repairing his relationship with his estranged younger son in the future.
But this is seen as very different from Harry being invited to support the King professionally during his cancer battle.
Prince William is also understood to share this opinion – although Kensington Palace has made it clear that his focus is on returning to work after taking a break to care for his wife following her operation last month."
"........Speculation ran rife over the weekend after The Times claimed the Duke of Sussex is willing to return to a 'temporary royal role' to support his father during his illness.
Harry, 39, has been encouraged by 'warm exchanges' between himself and the King since his father's cancer diagnosis was revealed earlier this month, it was suggested.
The prince had told friends he would be happy to 'step into a royal role while his father is unwell', it was said.
A 'royal insider' said 'on all practical levels it makes perfect sense for the family to come together to support the King while he's sick', adding: 'The feeling is that this arrangement could work.'
But well-placed sources have dismissed this completely, saying it is erroneous to suggest any discussions about the issue have taken place, even at a casual level.
Sources say Charles, the Prince of Wales and the rest of the royal family are in 'solid agreement' that the terms of the so-called 'Sandringham Summit' stand."
I think we know the "source" for the Times article was either WME, Scobie or the Sussexes.
