And sources say aides still harbour deep misgivings about any future clear-the-air discussions with Harry.
They point to a flurry of articles in the US within hours of his return to California.
And they have become increasingly alarmed at the speed at which details of private family exchanges have emerged.

People has previously been seen as a favoured outlet for the Sussexes. In February 2019, five of Meghan’s closest friends briefed it in depth about her life while claiming she had suffered “global bullying”.
Meghan has always insisted she had no knowledge of her friends’ decision to speak on her behalf.
Meanwhile Omid Scobie — who co-wrote Harry and Meghan’s gushing biography, Finding Freedom — also spoke out soon after Harry’s return to the US.
He said Meghan had spoken twice to the Queen.
Quoting “sources” close to Harry, Scobie said: “Saturday broke the ice for future conversations but outstanding issues have not been addressed at any great length.
“The family simply put their issues to one side to focus on what mattered.”
Harry, 36, and William, 38, were pictured talking with William’s wife Kate, 39, after the funeral.

William was Harry’s best man when he wed Meghan, 39, in 2018. Yet the pair have barely spoken for more than a year after the fall-out over Megxit and the couple’s claims during a bombshell interview with US chat show queen Oprah Winfrey.
Reports claimed Harry had met the Queen twice during his nine-day stay.

He spent five days in quarantine before Saturday’s funeral, but flew back to LA on Tuesday, missing his gran’s 95th birthday 24 hours later.

Harry is likely to return to the UK for the unveiling of a statue of his mother, Princess Diana, on July 1.
