This was less a meeting of minds, and more a rendezvous of rules; an opportunity for the King and his advisers to enforce upon Harry the reality that if so much as a word leaked from this or future meetings then any bridges built will have been bombed.
And of course public interest/intrusion into the Royals’ relationships lies behind the collapse of the one between father and son. One of Harry’s oft-repeated gripes about his family is that they didn’t do enough to protect him and his mother from the public gaze when he was growing up. On that he is almost certainly right. His parents allowed their marriage to break down in full view, with briefings and counter-briefings, until it resembled an up-market EastEnders.
For a Royal Family – and in this I count both father and son – which so often claims to dislike the media’s intrusion, they (or their advisers) have certainly done plenty over the years to provoke it. Or, as they might describe it, to “control the narrative”.
Certainly if he wants a full reconciliation with his father – and a route back to Britain at some point in the future – it is going to be essential.
This may not matter too much to Harry, who said in January that he didn’t “think it is ever going to be possible” to return to the Royal Family. But reportedly he wants his children Prince Archie, six, and four-year-old Princess Lilibet to have the option of becoming working Royals. And we can be quite certain his wife Meghan wants at least a smattering of Royal fairy dust on those As Ever cupcakes she’s knocking up in the Montecito farmhouse kitchen.

Yet for the relationship between father and son to develop beyond one cup of tea, Harry is going to have to bite his lip over his father’s refusal to pressure the state into the security arrangements Harry thinks he deserves.
The Prince will also have to bite his lip over the Royal Household’s relationship with the British media he hates. Instead he’ll have to accept that the King’s team will lead the briefings – an understanding presumably reached at the meeting between the two men’s press teams back in May.
That lip will be truly mangled.
