After months of will he, won't he speculation, Prince Harry showed nothing but support for his father on the biggest weekend of his life - the coronation.
And while Harry, 38, may have no other supporters among the rest of his family, who have been aghast at his shocking attacks on the monarchy, insiders reveal he brokered a fragile peace deal with his father King Charles III, 74. "Harry was determined to put on a flawless show as the dutiful son. There's no doubt he is genuinely proud and in awe of what his father is going through and the incredible weight he now bears. Whatever was going on with the rest of the family, Harry was not going to let it mar his father's special day," a royal source shares with Woman's Day.
"Their troubles are by no means resolved, but it was enormous for Charles to see nothing but pride in his youngest son's eyes," the source reveals.
According to a palace insider, the father and son "did get a chance to speak over the weekend and it was nothing but a warm, loving exchange. Harry made a point of telling his dad how proud he was of him and gave him his support. It was very emotional and both wiped away tears. Harry was quite flushed after the conversation."
The insider says the duke's willingness to put aside his troubles with his father - at least for one day - haven't gone unnoticed after months of tense negotiations.
