Prince Harry has spoken out once again, this time talking to GQ about his move back to the UK. And in the chat, the Duke of Sussex said that he wants to reconcile with his father, King Charles, and his brother, Prince William. Yet, despite saying that he wants to move on from the years-long rift, Harry still made a point of saying that 'scars stick around forever', and that while he wants to reconcile, 'some people don't want to work it out'. These comments have been interpreted by many as another dig at Prince William, further undermining the alleged calls for a reunion. On this episode of The Royal Tea, to discuss the latest comments, Kevin O'Sullivan is joined by former Head of Royal Protection Dai Davies, who hit out at news organisations for giving the interview airtime, and by commentator Kinsey Schofield, who says that the comments are clearly aimed at Prince William.

Meghan Markle is reportedly 'on edge' with nerves about doing the school run now that she is back in the UK, due to her and Prince Harry not receiving proper security. It comes as the Sussexes are still eyeing public funding for their security, with a source telling The Sun that the Duke and Duchess have barely left their new home since returning to England.However, Royal author Robert Jobson told Jeremy Kyle that they have nothing to fear due to new rules limiting how much paparazzi and press can photograph them on private incidents like the school run. Meanwhile, now that Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York, is back in the UK, speculation is rife about what her plans are for her grand return. To discuss, Jeremy was joined by Andrew Lownie to get his insights into Fergie's thinking.

It has been revealed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle only gave officials a fortnight's warning before moving back to the UK. Security officials need 28 days notice to properly arrange security for the pair if they plan on coming back to the UK, but sources close to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex say that, even then, the couple only get given a phone number - so why should they give more warning?Meanwhile, Catherine, Princess of Wales is reportedly set to join Prince William on a tour to India during autumn - as the Royal Family adopts a “business as usual” despite the disruption of Harry and Meghan returning.To discuss the latest headlines, Charlie Rowley is joined by Charlotte Griffiths, the Editor at Large for Mail on Sunday.

There has been speculation that a lack of a money was a motivating factor in Harry and Meghan returning to the UK from California - with some reports that they would be renting space on the Spencer estate or looking for a small farmhouse somewhere.It turns out that is not the case - in fact, according to Mail on Sunday Editor-at-Large Charlotte Griffiths, the couple are looking at homes "north of £10 MILLION!" She joined Duncan Barkes to discuss the latest on what we know about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and their hunt for a new property - plus, Angela Levin speaks to Duncan after the first photos of the couple were released.

Only days after announcing their return to the UK, Harry and Meghan touched down with their kids in Birmingham earlier today. Details around what's next for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex now that they are here remain uncertain - the rest of the Royal Family are currently in Balmoral for summer, so it's not known when a reunion will occur. One thing that is known is that Harry wants to get Prince Archie into rugby, and for him to be able to attend the matches every week.
