Although King Charles may live many more years, his funeral plans are already being finalized. Like Queen Elizabeth II, the 76-year-old monarch has been involved in the preparations\u2014and he\u2019s reportedly made a significant decision: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could be given prominent<\/em> roles.<\/p>\n Despite ongoing tensions, Charles reportedly hopes to reconcile with Harry. The prince has publicly expressed his desire to mend ties, though he claims his father refuses to speak to him. In his memoir Spare<\/em> and various interviews, Harry shared that some family members may \u201cnever forgive\u201d him.<\/p>\n The Royal Family has remained silent on Harry\u2019s comments, though sources say they feel \u201churt and betrayed,\u201d particularly Prince William, who is said to be deeply affected.
