Prince Harry’s attempts to contact King Charles have been met with silence, with royal expert Christopher Andersen attributing this to Harry’s scathing comments about Camilla in his book.

Andersen highlighted how Charles regards Harry’s words about Camilla as unforgivable, given the cardinal sin of criticizing her in royal circles.

“When Harry branded his stepmother Camilla a ‘villain’ in his book and revealed that both he and William initially begged their father not to marry her, Harry committed what Charles regards as a cardinal sin.”

— Christopher Andersen, author of “The King”

According to People magazine, the estrangement between Harry and Charles has deepened, with the king not responding to Harry’s attempts to communicate, especially regarding the king’s health.

While Harry’s security concerns have led to public interviews, sources suggest that reconciliation between Harry and his family, particularly King Charles and Prince William, is unlikely due to the breach of trust caused by Harry’s actions.

Despite the ongoing feud, there remains a hope for eventual reconciliation, with Harry’s friend expressing a desire to mend the bond with Charles for the sake of their relationship, noting that no father wants to lose a son.

However, current circumstances, including the absence of an invite to Balmoral Castle and the ongoing rift between the royal family and Harry, indicate that peace talks may not occur in the near future.

Harry and Meghan’s absence from the UK, coupled with their new life in California, further illustrate the complex dynamics of their relationship with the royal family.
