Experts say it’s getting personal.
With King Charles ignoring Prince Harry’s calls and tensions with William worsening, royal insiders say the family’s only option is to continue ignoring the Duke of Sussex.
Tom Quinn told The Mirror that King Charles’s silence is necessary to uphold royal decorum and prevent further issues, balancing his roles as father and monarch.
“Despite Harry’s attacks on the royal family his father has avoided responding by attacking his son publicly, but privately, King Charles is furious. So much so that he is now refusing to take calls from his son.”
During a recent interview with ITV, Harry explained that all he wants is a security detail for his family if and when they visit the U.K.
“All it takes is for one lone actor who reads this stuff to act on what they’ve read. And whether it’s a knife or acid, these are things that are genuine concerns for me. It’s one of the reasons why I won’t bring my wife back to this country,” he said of the dangers that could come his way when he’s in the United Kingdom.
Apparently, security is too much to ask for and it’s what’s keeping him from having everything with his family go back to the heyday of the Big 4 and all those happy smiling photos of the Cambridges and Sussexes together on the Buckingham Palace balcony.
Charles is even more annoyed because he sees Harry keeping his family in the United States as a “bargaining chip.” Quinn says that Charles desperately wants to see his grandchildren and that Harry keeps them away to get what he wants.
“Charles believes Harry should let bygones be bygones for the sake of Archie and Lilibet, but he senses that access to the children is being used as a bargaining chip and that, in Charles’ view, is unforgivable,” Quinn noted.
Experts in the royal family dynamics suggest that the ongoing tension between King Charles and Prince Harry is becoming increasingly personal and complicated. Despite the public appearance of unity, behind closed doors, the relationship between the father and son is strained. King Charles has chosen to maintain his silence in order to uphold the dignity and reputation of the monarchy, but it is clear that he is deeply upset by Harry’s public criticisms.The issue of security for Harry and his family when they visit the U.K. has been a point of contention. Harry has expressed genuine concerns about the potential risks involved in traveling to his home country without proper security measures in place. The lack of assurance in this regard has been a major factor in his decision to keep his family in the United States and away from potential danger.Charles is reportedly frustrated with Harry’s refusal to compromise on this issue and believes that Harry is using access to his grandchildren as a bargaining chip. The Duke of Sussex’s reluctance to allow King Charles to see Archie and Lilibet is seen as a manipulative tactic to get what he wants. Charles is said to be particularly hurt by this behavior, as he strongly believes that family should come first, especially for the sake of the innocent grandchildren.The situation is further complicated by the public nature of the dispute, with both sides airing their grievances in the media. This has only served to escalate the tensions and make it even more difficult to find a resolution. It seems that both King Charles and Prince Harry are unwilling to back down, leading to a stalemate in their relationship.As royal insiders continue to monitor the situation closely, it remains to be seen how this family feud will ultimately play out. The stakes are high, not only for the future of the monarchy but also for the personal relationships within the royal family. Only time will tell whether King Charles and Prince Harry can find a way to bridge the divide and move forward in a more positive direction. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
