Prince William has ruled out Prince Harry returning to the Royal Family on a temporary basis during talks with King Charles, according to a source.
The Prince of Wales and the King held one-on-one talks at Sandringham this week.
The possibility of William taking on some of the monarch's duties was discussed but is not thought to be currently on the agenda.
King Charles and Prince William's talks come as Prince Harry is reportedly prepared to take up a temporary role in the Royal Family.

The Duke of Sussex has told his friends that he is prepared to take on a temporary role in the Royal Family to help his father while he is unwell.
Buckingham Palace confirmed that King Charles had been diagnosed with cancer earlier this month.
However, a source close to William has said there is "zero chance" he would allow his brother back into the Royal Family fold.
The source told the Mirror: "Whatever has been discussed between William and the King is private, but it is absolutely and categorically clear that he (William) would not allow Harry to return.

"He thought it was a bad idea at the time and he’s even more clear now.
"If anyone is going to take on more duties it will be William and that isn’t even on the agenda for now.
"His main focus is on his father’s health, his family and what is best for the monarchy.
"There is a zero per cent chance Harry is coming back in any capacity."
