Royal Frustration Grows as Prince Harry’s Actions Continue to Stir Controversy
A royal insider recently disclosed that King Charles is increasingly dismayed by Prince Harry's conduct.
Harry made a swift trip to the UK to testify in the Mirror phone hacking trial, marking the first time a royal has done so since the 1890s.
Despite being in close proximity to his family during his visit, Harry chose not to meet them and is unlikely to attend the upcoming birthday celebration of the King, where he might not even be invited.
The rift between Harry and the royal family deepened as he criticized the institution in his explosive memoir, Spare, where he accused Camilla of being a bully and revealed his efforts to dissuade Charles from marrying her.
Sources close to the King revealed to The Times that his frustration with Harry's actions is mounting.
The insider shared, “The King often brings up Harry in our conversations.
While there is still a sense of sadness and bewilderment, there is now a growing level of frustration due to his continuous behavior.”
During Harry's recent visit to the UK, reports suggest that he maintained distance from his father, King Charles, and his brother, Prince William.
Charles, who returned from Romania on June 6th, missed the opportunity to meet with Harry as he chose to attend a concert instead.
In contrast, Harry promptly returned to California after his brief stay in the UK, prioritizing a reunion with his family.
Royal expert Katie Nicholl highlighted the reservations held by both Charles and William regarding Harry's court appearance, given his previous candid revelations in his memoir and the Netflix series with Meghan.
Nicholl stated, “Sources indicate that Charles III and Prince William harbored concerns about Harry's testimony.
Following the disclosures made in his evidence and witness statement, these apprehensions seem justified.”
The family is reportedly anxious about the potential impact of Harry's revelations, especially after the uproar caused by his book earlier this year.
Despite the strained relationship between Harry and his family since the release of his memoir, royal analyst Jenny Bond suggests that reconciliation is not entirely out of reach, albeit with significant hurdles.
Bond expressed, “In a different scenario without Meghan, Harry could potentially be forgiven and welcomed back into the royal fold.
However, the current circumstances make it seem unlikely.”
She added, “There is still a reservoir of goodwill towards the Harry we once knew.
While bridges could be rebuilt over time, a swift reconciliation appears improbable.”
Prince Harry's recent visit to the UK, following his daughter Lilibet's birthday celebrations, elicited criticism for his delayed arrival at the court proceedings against the Mirror newspaper group.
The prince's hasty return to California on Thursday raised eyebrows, reminiscent of his quick departure after King Charles' coronation last month.
The ongoing saga surrounding Prince Harry's actions continues to captivate royal watchers, with speculation rife about the future of his relationship with the monarchy and his family.
