Why King Charles III Wishes to Avoid Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

King Charles III's relationship with his son Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle remains strained, according to an exclusive source.

The monarch's trust has been compromised since Harry's bombshell memoir, Spare, was published in 2023.

In the memoir, Harry criticizes his father, 74, and his brother Prince William, along with other members of the royal family.

As a result, King Charles III would prefer to avoid any interactions with Harry and Meghan until he sees positive changes from their end, the source reveals.

Although King Charles III saw his younger child, now 38, during his coronation ceremony in May, there is no doubt that the tension between them has affected their relationship.

Harry visited his father for the occasion, but Meghan, 41, chose to stay in the US with their two children, Archie, 4, and Lily, 2.

King Charles III ascended the British throne in September 2022 following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away at the age of 96.

His coronation took place on May 6 in London, temporarily bringing a sense of peace between Harry and his relatives.

Harry's decision to step down as a senior royal in 2020 has caused ongoing conflicts within the family.

His strained relationship with William, now 40, has been a prominent issue, especially after Harry referred to his brother as an arch-enemy in his memoir.

A source exclusively revealed that William feels Harry is untrustworthy and merely puts on a facade.

Despite the rift within the family, Charles was pleased to have his son present at his coronation ceremony in May.

However, royal expert Nick Pullen stated that Harry did not interact with Prince William or Princess of Wales during the event.

Instead, he had a conversation with his father the night before.

With the coronation over, there seems to be no immediate reason for Harry to return to London.

This could mark the beginning of the end for the Sussexes' interactions with the royal family, as Pullen suggested.

The absence of Harry and Meghan at Charles's first Trooping of the Colour on June 17 further emphasized the strained relationship.

It was not a deliberate act of disrespect, but rather a result of the long journey from California to attend the event.

The Trooping the Colour parade is held annually in June to celebrate the King's birthday.

The royals felt that the presence of the Sussexes would divert attention away from the importance of the event for the entire nation.

Meanwhile, Prince William, the eldest son of Charles and Princess Diana, took center stage at this year's Trooping the Colour.

He was accompanied by his wife, Princess Kate, and their three children, Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, as they waved to the crowd from Buckingham Palace's famous balcony.

In conclusion, King Charles III's strained relationship with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continues to affect their interactions.

The publication of Harry's memoir has compromised the monarch's trust, leading him to prefer avoiding any contact until positive changes are observed from the couple.

Despite their differences, Charles was happy to have Harry present at his coronation ceremony, but Meghan chose to stay in the US with their children.

The absence of the Sussexes at Charles's Trooping of the Colour further highlighted the tension within the family.

As time goes on, it appears that the Sussexes' involvement with the royal family may come to an end.
