Prince Harry is understood to be 'taken by surprise' by how 'formal' his reunion meeting with his father King Charles proved to be.

During a four-day visit to the UK earlier this month, Harry met Charles, 76, at Clarence House face-to-face for the first time in a year and a half.

The 53-minute meeting was seen as a significant but tentative step towards repairing the troubled relationship between Charles and Harry.

However, the pair's meeting has been revealed to be 'distinctly formal' and there is still no plan for Harry to return to the family fold.

It is reported that Harry was surprised by the formalities and even joked that he felt more like an 'official visitor' rather than a family member.

Royal insiders have described the exchange as being held in a similar style to that of dignitaries and visitors at royal residences.

However, there are reportedly no moves for the pair to be seen in public together or for Harry to return for a 'half-in, half-out' hybrid royal role.

It is understood that the King is steadfast in upholding the Sandringham Agreement, made in January 2020, which rejected Harry's bid for a hybrid role.

So all the wishful thinking and media leaks didn't make it so. Imagine that.
