Tensions between father and son King Charles and Prince Harry appear to be running high, with the Mirror reporting that the King could reunite the family by making one important gesture to Harry.

If Prince Charles wants to "bring the family back together," he could give Harry a residence in the U.K., according to public relations expert Jerome Cleary. Harry is one of seven advisors of state, including his brother Prince William, Queen Camilla, Prince Edward, Princess Anne, Princess Beatrice, and Prince Andrew. The advisors of state are the monarch's spouse (Camilla) and the next four royals in the line of succession to the throne over the age of 21 (William, Harry, Andrew, and Beatrice.)

State Counselors are required by law to have a home in the UK, and in Harry's case, the issue is that he left his home in the UK, Frogmore Cottage, with his family earlier this summer. (Needless to say, Harry, Meghan Markle, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet now have homes in the United States.)

After years of turbulence, "the King realized that he could bring the family back together," Cleary says.

"If so, I think the King should give Harry a place to live in the U.K. and let him stay on as a national advisor."

If Harry is given a place to live in the UK, the inevitable debate will likely erupt, but Cleary feels that the reaction of the royal faithful will be "mixed," adding, "Half of the fans will believe that the King can bring the family back together again with this decision." If the King chooses not to give Harry a residence in his home country, he may be perceived as "shunning" his younger son or "destroying a part of the family."

Last week, the Sunday Times reported that Harry could in fact be given a home base in England because of his role as a national advisor. 'The King understands that removing Harry from the role of Counselor of State would be seen as a hostile act, and he doesn't want that,' a friend of the King said. 'As a result, if it is necessary to set aside some part of the royal estate as a villa for his son, I think that would be reasonable.'

Buckingham Palace quickly refuted this idea, stating that "these claims are untrue," but did not elaborate further.

If nothing else, keeping Harry in the role of State Department Counselor "would present a united front," said Liv Arnold of Public Status PR, and "would give the public less gossip material."
