Prince Harry 'desperate' to be at Coronation and 'willing' to mend royal feud

The Coronation of King Charles III is just around the corner and there's one final push to have all the royal arrangements in place.

To mark the occasion and be a part of the historic event, Prince Harry is reportedly flying back from his home in California - although there was originally some uncertainty over whether him and Meghan Markle would be in attendance.

This is because they reportedly failed to RSVP on time earlier this month, and it's since been confirmed that the Duke of Sussex will be travelling back to the UK solo.

It's reported that Prince Harry has made several attempts to contact his father in the run-up to the big day, but so far only one conversation has been had.

The Mirror reports that Harry apparently misses certain things about life in Britain and may be keen to start spending more time here, despite being 'evicted' from Frogmore Cottage.

A source told The Sun: "Harry was desperate to come back for the Coronation and spend quality time with his family."

Initially, there were concerns Prince Harry would not be attending his father's Coronation as a list of 'demands' had not been met. However, there are now hopes that Harry's solo trip could finally help the royals make up again.

Prince Harry won't be part of the ceremonial procession routes or on the balcony, but he will be in Westminster Abbey for the Coronation on May 6.

Sources have described a "willingness" and "wanting to mend on both sides".

Meghan is supposedly remaining in the US because Coronation date clashes with son Archie's fourth birthday. It's reported she was unsure as to how the British public would receive her after a headline-hitting year for the Sussexes.

Harry's efforts to communicate more with King Charles came after the fallout of his controversial memoir, Spare, in which he did not have kind words for Queen Consort Camilla.

It's believed this was seen as a 'red line' that Harry should never have crossed.

But sources have said that Harry made it clear he wanted to spend quality time with his family while he is here for the royal event.

Speaking to ITV's Tom Bradby in January to promote Spare, Harry said: "I want a family, not an institution."

He also claimed he wanted his father and brother "back".
