One of Harry's most serious bones of contention with his dad the King is the monarch's refusal to endorse his children Archie, three, and Lilibet, one, as HRHs.
It's a status they automatically gained – along with prince and princess – as grandchildren of the King when Charles acceded to the throne in September.
Harry and Meghan are restricted from using their HRH titles, but it is only a gentlemen's agreement.
There is nothing to prevent them triggering the royal equivalent of the nuclear option by resuming use of the titles.
But this could force the King into issuing Letters Patent formally removing the title from them all – something he would be reluctant to do.
While the Sussexes seem keen to burn bridges, the King, advises a source, is still very keen on building them.

As publication of Harry's book Spare draws nigh, it appears that the Palace has been unable to get an advance copy.
