A royal analyst has revealed that the King is seething with anger towards the Duke of Sussex, blaming him for the turmoil within the royal family.
Reports indicate that the newly crowned monarch has deliberately distanced himself from his estranged son, who has been living in exile in the United States, in a bid to avoid any form of communication.
More than four years ago, the Duke of Sussex stepped down from his role as a senior working royal.
By 2020, both he and the Duchess of Sussex had made the decision to step back from public duties and carve out their own financial independence from the royal institution.
The couple made a significant move from England to Montecito, California, seeking proximity to their children Archie and Lilibet after relinquishing their royal titles.
Tensions escalated between the Duchess of Sussex and the Princess of Wales, leading to a rift that put the King in a difficult position as he stood by his wife.
The strained relations between the King and the Duke were further exacerbated when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex participated in a revealing interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, followed by the release of a documentary about their lives on Netflix in 2022, much to the disdain of the royal family.
The publication of the Duke of Sussex’s memoir, “Spare,” exposed shocking revelations about his family, adding fuel to the already blazing fire of discord.
The King has been making feeble excuses to dodge meetings with his son, indicating his reluctance to acknowledge his own part in the ongoing conflict and signaling a lack of readiness to reconcile.
Renowned royal expert and author Tom Quinn emphasized that the King remains deeply incensed by his son’s denial of the damage caused to the family.
Despite the Duke’s attempts to downplay the situation, it is evident that his father sees through the facade of excuses and remains resolute in his stance.
The Duke of Sussex’s scathing criticisms aimed at his father and brother, the Prince of Wales, created an irreparable divide that was bound to lead to repercussions.
Quinn pointed out that the Duke’s inability to comprehend the consequences of his actions only serves to alienate him further from his family, as rejection becomes the inevitable outcome.
In a final analysis, Quinn highlighted the Duke of Sussex’s misguided belief that his provocative statements would compel his father and brother to seek forgiveness.
