The relationship between Prince Harry and King Charles is still a stranded one. The two have met during a handful of occasions since Harry\u2019s departure from his homeland, but it wasn\u2019t enough for the two to finally make amends.<\/p>\n

However, rumors are that the \u201cpath\u201d of reconciliation between the father and son may come sooner than expected if one person, the King\u2019s right-hand man, retires early as he\u2019s said to have planned.<\/p>\n

King Charles\u2019 Private Secretary, Sir Clive Alderton, who is known as a \u2018hatchet man\u2019 for his immense ability to deliver bad news, seems to be standing on Harry\u2019s way to mend things with the rest of the royals.<\/p>\n

Who is Sir Clive Alderton?<\/h2>\n

In his memoir,\u00a0Spare,\u00a0<\/em>Harry\u00a0referred<\/a>\u00a0to his father\u2019s most trusted man as of \u201cweedy\u201d and \u201carrogant.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Wasp [Sir Clive] was lanky, charming, arrogant, a ball of jazzy energy. He was great at pretending to be polite, even servile,\u201d the Prince wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause he seemed so weedy, so self-effacing, you might be tempted to push back, insist on your point, and that was when he\u2019d put you on his list.<\/p>\n

\u201cA short time later, without warning, he\u2019d give you such a stab with his outsized stinger that you\u2019d cry out in confusion. Where the f*** did that come from?\u201d<\/p>\n

Can Prince Harry and King Charles restore their bond entirely?<\/h2>\n

Princess Diana\u2019s biographer Tina Brown is the one who believes Sir Alderton\u2019s potential retirement could bring positive changes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Alderton goes, it could create a new, friendlier path for negotiations with Harry to be given the security protection he seeks and to resume some curtailed version of his royal duties,\u201d she wrote on her\u00a0Fresh Hell Substack<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>blog,\u00a0Express<\/em>\u00a0reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt could also represent a great face-saver for Meghan who must realise by now that the dull demands of second-division royalty are less onerous than grinding out serial rebranding flops.<\/p>\n

\u201cEnough with the feuds. Families, including this one, need to stick together. William, whatever his abiding resentments toward Harry for his intemperate broadsides in Spare, should now suck it up and let his father give Harry something to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Royal Family describes Sir Clive Alderton\u00a0as \u2018the channel of communication between the Head of State and the Government.\u2019<\/h2>\n

He was the one who advised then-prince Charles to hurry and be by his mother\u2019s bedside during the final hours of her life. As per the\u00a0Mirror<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>he\u2019s also the man behind the famous phrase \u2018some recollections may vary\u2019\u00a0following Meghan Markle\u2019s accusations of racism within the Firm.<\/p>\n
