Have you wondered how things have been between Prince Harry and his father? Harry recently visited his home country in the hope of making progress in his security case. But the real chill came not from the court delaying the verdict but from King Charles’ ringing silence. Rumours have it that the father-son duo has not exchanged words in words. Dive in to know more!
Prince Harry: Is King Charles Avoiding Harry?
According to The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, the King hasn’t picked up Prince Harry’s calls for months. But how did it get this bad? It’s all due to Harry’s ongoing legal battle with the Home Office over the decision to cut off his taxpayer-funded protection. Harry argues it’s a punishment for putting his family first.
“As some form of punishment for protecting my family and putting them first,” he said when the original decision was made. However, King Charles did not comment on it, and royal correspondent Sarah Hewson explained why. “There is absolutely no way that the King could be seen to be intervening in this at all,” she said.
She believes that Harry’s legal team could twist Charles’ remarks and submit them as evidence. Hence, the British Monarch is staying out of the legal battle and not answering his son’s phone calls. In addition, Sarah pointed out that Harry and Charles haven’t seen each other since February last year, following the latter’s cancer announcement.
Harry Isn’t Thrilled About the Recent Hearing
Even that reunion lasted only 30 minutes and seemed like it was done out of obligation. In the meantime, sources close to the Invictus Games founder revealed he didn’t even know about the King’s recent hospital visit. Yep, Harry learned it from the press, and royal experts believe there’s a “fundamental reason” for the disconnect.
GB News’ Cameron Walker explained, “The King sees it really as his duty as head of state that he should not get involved with the judicial system.” Moroever, there’s the fear factor that private chats with Harry may leak into the media or become part of another memoir like ‘Spare.’
Regarding the security issue, Harry wasn’t happy about his recent two-day court hearing. He told The Telegraph, “People would be shocked by what’s being held back. My worst fears have been confirmed.” “I’m determined to get under the bonnet and fix it,” he said, awaiting the verdict after Easter.
