From sources at the weekend, apparently close to the Sussexes, suggesting Prince Harry might be able to 'help' lighten the load of royal engagements, to claims by biographer Tina Brown that King Charles is 'less irritated' by his prodigal son than he is by Prince William over his work ethic, there has been a torrent of suggestions about tensions at the top.
Indeed, a source close to both the King and the Prince of Wales told me starkly this week: 'It's evident there's an attempt to manufacture division between them, when in reality, no such rift exists. In truth, their relationship is as strong as ever, they are aligned in their work, with many areas of shared interest, and united in their vision for the role of the Royal Family.'
Another source adds: 'Like many father-son relationships, there are occasional personal and competitive tensions. Both are very driven individuals and have very similar interests such as the environment, conservation, the military and helping deprived communities. However, they are also going about supporting them in quite different ways.
'Does that sometimes bring them into competition with one another? Yes, to be fair, it does. But ultimately they have the same goal: to make life better for the people of this country.
