In an exclusive interview with The Guardian, Harry said he wanted to bring his American-born children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lillivet, to share it with his wife Markle.
“Yes, I will. This week definitely brought it closer,” he told the British outlet on an overnight train to Kiev after a short trip to the UK.
Little is known about the recent meeting between Harry and his father, except they sat for a cup of tea.
After he released a spare of all his memoirs, Duke, who was completely estranged from the royal family, shared no much about the rift at his father's request.
Harry, who has not met his brother, Prince William and the Prince of Wales, says, “My conscience is clear,” hints at spending more time in the UK despite public criticism of his family.
His comments show a shift in prospects earlier this year since Harry told the BBC that he “will not see a world that brings his wife and children back to the UK.”
