King Charles has sent Prince William a "public sign of defiance" by opening the door to Prince Harry's return to the royal family, according to an insider.
The bold move comes amid reports of a bitter rift between the Prince of Wales and Queen Camilla. Royal broadcaster Ian Pelham Turner has claimed the King is incensed after William and Kate Middleton allegedly showed disrespect toward his wife.
Tensions reportedly came to a head at a recent engagement where the Waleses allegedly walked straight past Camilla without curtsying or bowing. It comes after the 3-letter word that caused Harry and William's feud was revealed - and how Meghan made it worse.

"I have heard there does not seem to be much family love between Camilla and William and Kate," Pelham Turner told Express US. "They recently walked past the Queen without curtsying, which many interpreted as a public gesture of defiance."
"Charles will stand wholeheartedly by his wife," Pelham Turner added. "Harry coming back is the first sign I feel of his public defiance in return."

According to the source, Charles went "out of his way" to accommodate Harry and his family during their recent visit to the U.K. That gesture of goodwill reportedly did not sit well with William and Kate, sparking the frosty standoff with Camilla.
Yet Charles is standing firm, seemingly intent on reminding William that the crown has not yet passed to him. He has urged the family to present a united front rather than allowing their disputes to play out in public. "For the people, the Royal Family must be seen as a strong unit," Pelham Turner warned.
He added, "Rather than a real-life version of the Netflix drama The Crown." Meanwhile, William is reportedly "very angry" with Harry after one mistake that is "hard to overlook."

This comes after the Duchess of Sussex took on the role of guest judge for MasterChef Australia's 18th season, with hopeful chefs tasked with elevating an everyday ingredient into a creation "fit for a duchess."
She joined MasterChef Australia judges Poh Ling Yeow, Sofia Levin, and Jean-Christophe Novelli on the panel. Meghan's appearance on the cooking show left the contestants "frazzled" and "blushing," but it wasn't clear in the moment how the audience took the duchess' appearance.
