Royal expert reveals King Charles’ harsh reaction to Prince Harry’s call

The relationship between Prince Harry and King Charles has seen significant strain in recent years. Once united as father and son, their bond has deteriorated, with Harry feeling sidelined in favor of his brother, Prince William.

This sense of neglect was a central theme in Harry’s memoir Spare, where he candidly revealed that he felt like the “spare” child in the royal family—someone who existed solely to support the “heir.”

As tension grows, public curiosity about their relationship increases. While discussions about potential peace talks continue to circulate, recent reports suggest King Charles has stopped answering Harry’s calls, signaling a deepening rift. At the same time, Harry and his wife Meghan Markle have been pursuing their own projects, often criticized for their ongoing battle with the royal institution.

The Rift’s Origins and Harry’s Memoir

Prince Harry’s struggles within the royal family have been evident for years. In his memoir Spare, Harry opened up about his strained relationship with both his father and his brother, Prince William. He claimed that from his birth, it was made clear he was not as important as William. He even recalled a story where King Charles, after Harry’s birth, referred to him as the “spare,” a backup in case something happened to William.

The release of Spare brought to light not only the painful dynamics of his childhood but also his disappointment with how King Charles handled personal tragedies, such as the death of Princess Diana. According to Harry, his father’s emotional distance left a lasting impact on him. These revelations only deepened the divide between Harry and the royal family, particularly his father and brother.

Meghan Markle’s Role in the Fallout

Meghan Markle’s entrance into the royal family also sparked friction. While the couple initially tried to balance royal duties with their personal lives, they eventually decided to step back in 2020, citing pressures and lack of support.

Since their departure, Meghan has been portrayed as an outsider, further alienating Harry from his royal roots. Tensions escalated when Harry revealed that Meghan was not welcome at Balmoral during Queen Elizabeth II’s final days, adding another layer of strain between him and his father.

King Charles’ Reaction to Harry’s Attempts at Reconciliation

Despite the ongoing tension, Harry has reportedly tried to mend the relationship, particularly after learning of King Charles’ health concerns. However, insiders have claimed that King Charles has been avoiding his son’s calls. Reports suggest that when aides bring the phone to Charles, he waves them away, uninterested in hearing from Harry. This cold response reportedly stems from frustration over Harry’s legal battles regarding security when he and his family visit the UK.

Possible Consequences: Removal from the Line of Succession

As Harry’s ties to the royal family weaken, there have been discussions about removing him from the line of succession. While legally complex, such a move could reflect Harry’s decision to distance himself from royal duties. According to experts, the British government would have to pass legislation to make this change official. However, some believe Harry may agree to relinquish his place in the line of succession, following in the footsteps of Edward VIII, who famously abdicated the throne.

Can the Rift Ever Be Mended?

As things stand, it appears that reconciliation between Prince Harry and the royal family is a distant hope. King Charles’ refusal to engage with Harry, combined with ongoing legal battles and public revelations, suggests the rift may be too deep to heal. Whether or not they can find common ground remains uncertain, but many royal watchers believe the damage is irreparable.
