Page Six can reveal Harry tried for over a month to arrange a meeting with his cancer-stricken dad but was turned down.

However, on Tuesday, Harry’s representative confirmed that his father was too busy to meet with him.

However, Hugo Vickers, a renowned royal historian and friend of the royal family, told Page Six: “If the king wanted to meet Harry, he would very easily make the time. You can never be too busy to see your son.

“It’s a good idea if they actually get together to make some kind of reconciliation.”

Vickers said there would be certain points in the king’s diary where he could describe his youngest son, including breakfast.

“The king left the door wide open, but obviously not that wide,” a royal source said about a possible reconciliation. “But they can certainly stuff things into his diary and juggle things.”

Harry – who is in London without his wife Meghan Markle – last saw Charles in February, after he made his way from California to the UK after his father was diagnosed with cancer.

They had a short meeting that only lasted about 30 minutes.

As Page Six previously reported, Harry and William haven’t spoken to each other in over a year.
