Prince Harry’s recent trip to London has sparked speculation about the state of his relationship with his father, King Charles III. Despite hopes of reuniting with his family during his visit, Harry did not meet with any members of the royal family, including his father.
A spokesperson for the prince cited King Charles III’s busy schedule as the reason for the canceled meeting. However, sources close to the monarch suggest that the decision was made to avoid any potential drama in his life. According to friends of the king, Harry and his wife Meghan have caused concern for the royal family in recent years.
The situation is further complicated by King Charles III’s recent cancer diagnosis, which has reportedly given him a new sense of urgency to make a difference as king. The monarch is said to view Harry and Meghan as a distraction and is focusing on his royal duties in light of his health condition.
Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan are reportedly waiting for an apology from the royal family, with no reconciliation in sight until they receive one. Harry’s past comments about his stepmother Camilla Parker-Bowles, whom he called a “villain” in his book, have also strained relations with his father and the rest of the royal family.
As the rift between father and son continues, it remains to be seen if and when a resolution will be reached. The queen herself is said to be upset and hurt by Harry’s remarks, indicating a deepening divide within the royal family.
