According to the Daily Mail, although Prince Charles feels disappointed, he plans to mend things between him and his youngest son. He reportedly plans to contact him in the next few weeks.

A friend reportedly revealed he plans to approach the situation more as a father and not as a statesman. The insider added the 72-year-old has realized that the main focus must be on healing the rift before it damages their relationship any further.
