King Charles and Prince Harry have a strained relationship for years. The Duke said Harry’s father made a cruel joke about him on his birthday.
Harry’s comments on the Royal Family since his 2020 departure have angered his father, brother, Prince William, and sister-in-law, Kate Middleton.
Harry and Meghan’s May trip to Nigeria reportedly enraged King Charles. Harry and Charles’ feud appears endless, but one item could unite them. A royal confidant says…
Spare changed everything for Harry, his bride, and the royals. The book revealed various new monarchy facts, worsening his connection with his Royal Family.
Prince Harry’s Spare memoir
Harry said he removed half of the first version, but the Royal Family has not commented on the book.
The first draft was different, he told Telegraph. It dropped from 800 to 400 pages. Could have been two books. I had trouble removing things.”
The Duke also stated Spare couldn’t include facts that could escalate his conflict with his brother and father.
“There are some things that have happened, especially between me and my brother, and to some extent between me and my father, that I just don’t want the world to know,” Harry said. “Because I doubt they’d forgive me.”
Harry was rumored to write another novel days after Spare’s release. Royal expert Tom Quinn claimed a second book would “end to Harry’s relationship” with his family.
According to former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond, a second book would “slammed” the Palace doors.
I can’t imagine Harry wanting a Spare sequel. Bond said “He wants to move on after venting his anger and facing the consequences.”
Prince Harry may publish second book after Charles’ death, say experts.
I doubt he’ll reprise his grievances in another book. His job, Invictus, and parenthood may be covered, but not his background.
The former BBC royal correspondent said, “If he did go there, then I am sure the response would be a continued dignified silence and a resounding crash as the Palace doors slammed on any hope of future reconciliation.”
Not everyone thinks Harry won’t write another novel. On Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered, royal expert Kinsey Schofield said Prince Harry will publish a second book after his father “inevitably” dies and his brother, Prince William, becomes king.
I expect him to write about family again. He delayed book publication after Elizabeth died. When the Queen died, Schofield stated they planned another publication.
Books may be published after his father dies. Especially if Prince William keeps him away. If Prince William expelled you, what would happen?
Prince Harry seems happy in America. Some sources say that’s not all.
“An angry boy” Tom Quinn reveals Harry misses his army and college classmates. Unfortunately, “they don’t get on with Meghan.” They haven’t visited him in CA. The Duke may want a “permanent” UK home.
Harry increasingly misses the UK. Quinn said Harry is looking back with rose-colored glasses as the US honeymoon ends.
He added: “He misses his Old Etonian and army friends, many of whom haven’t visited because they dislike Meghan. Harry wants to settle in the UK and wants the British taxpayer to pay for his protection.
Quinn and others say Harry misses his old friends and the UK. An unidentified Duke pal told the Sunday Times that Harry is “angry” over being separated from his UK relatives and friends.
“He’s an angry boy,” the friend remarked. His wish was denied. He likely misses Britain and wants respect. Everyone who knows him thinks he’d rather be on top with William and Kate loving him.
Harry to return to UK?
Fox reported that royal analyst Hilary Fordwich’s sources, who know Harry’s friends, confirm the assertion.
“For many American Brits, especially from England, two sayings sum us up,” Fordwich said. John Mahoney’s first quote, ‘You can take the boy out of England, but you can’t take England out of the boy,’ expresses his love for England. Another Shakespeare quote: “This precious stone in the silver sea…” Wonderful plot, Earth, realm, England.
Harry’s friends still can’t forgive him for criticizing the royals after his and Meghan’s 2020 divorce, another friend told the Times.
“I can’t believe he’d stoop so low,” the friend said. Disloyalty is obscene. Netflix, Oprah, book? You die after three strikes.”
Another William and Harry acquaintance told the Times, “Harry and [his wife] Meghan could have left with dignity and decency and not trash the institution.” “The conclusion is they made money trashing his family.”
King Charles and Prince Harry’s connection has deteriorated in recent months.
King Charles dismisses Harry’s calls.
Interestingly, royal researcher Jennie Bond said Harry had “no interest” in peace with the royals. People Magazine reports that his father and son had lost touch, despite his efforts to repair their relationship.
King Charles no longer returns his son’s calls or letters, says Harry’s friend.
Harry’s friend told People Magazine, “He gets ‘unavailable right now’”. No one answers his calls. He also called about the King’s health but got no response.
Kings Charles has struggled without his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Harry “emotional blackmailed” his father by threatening to never see Archie and Lilibet again, per King Charles’ supporters, according to the Daily Beast
According to the source, Harry wants Charles to assist the Sussexes feel safer in the UK.
Royal duties were simplified once Harry and Meghan left. The Sussexes’ three-day tour of Nigeria earlier this year surprised many. The stories say King Charles was furious.
King Charles has one main issue before settling his feud with Prince Harry.
Royal expert Tom Quinn told the Mirror: “William is furious and determined to stop this happening again. Charles apparently angrier than ever. The Nigerians treated Meghan and Harry to dances, receptions, school visits, and charities like an official tour, which upset the applecart.
Future Harry-King Charles connections are unclear. The Duke hasn’t visited his father every time he’s been in the UK, but surely they might resolve some issues if they met?
Maybe not. King Charles’ pal believes confidence is low. Charles fears any private conversation with his son could backfire, especially if Harry writes a second book.
Spare volume two may feature Harry talking, which worries the King and family. How to regain trust? Charles’ buddy told Sunday Times.
Harry may never succeed. After speaking with the King, I wouldn’t say their relationship is irreparable. Kings’ son forgiveness is unshakeable. The difficulty is that other royals oppose Harry.”
