Prince Harry has heavily criticised the monarchy's treatment of his wife Meghan and wants an apology to the Duchess of Sussex.
However, a friend of King Charles does want to "hit the reset button" on the feud with his son but is not prepared to apologise.
The friend of the King told the Daily Beast: "It has been reported that Charles wants an apology from Harry, but that’s far from the case. [Charles] wouldn’t expect that.

"He knows the Windsors are a stubborn lot and Harry is no exception.
"The quid-pro-quo is, can Harry accept that he won’t be getting an apology either?
“Don’t forget that Charles authorized Jonathan Dimbleby to write a book which attacked his parents, but ultimately they all basically forgot about it, chalked it down to experience and moved on.
"Charles wants to hit the reset button—but not at any price."

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are not on speaking terms with senior royals Camilla, Prince William and Princess Kate, according to reports.
Earlier this year, Prince Harry outlined his request for an apology from the Royal Family, during an interview with the Telegraph.
The Duke of Sussex said: "The way I see it is, I’m willing to forgive you [the Royal Family] for everything you’ve done, and I wish you’d actually sat down with me, properly, and instead of saying I’m delusional and paranoid, actually sit down and have a proper conversation about this, because what I’d really like is some accountability.
"And an apology to my wife."
