OK! reported that the only chat Harry had with his brother and dad was a "clear-the-air-talk" after Philip's service. The two only agreed to speak with Harry if there were witnesses so their private talk wouldn't get twisted and leaked, as it had in the past, according to sources.

Harry's recent (and brief) chat with the Duke of Cambridge and Prince of Wales may not have fixed the family's deep-rooted issues. However, they will have a chance at reconciliation once again if and when Harry returns to the U.K. to unveil the statue of his late mother, Princess Diana, on July 1 at Kensington Palace.

With the couple's baby due in the summer, though, Harry's return may not be guaranteed. 

As OK! previously reported, Meghan is planning an at-home birth at their $14.65 mansion in the celeb-filled community.
