The Duke of Sussex’s path to reconciliation with his father, amidst his father’s health struggles, has hit another snag as per insights from Jenny Bond, a former royal correspondent at the BBC.
Bond revealed that the Duke of Sussex’s perspective on the royal divide has shifted following the release of his revealing memoir, “Spare.”
Initially, it was the Duke of Sussex who sought an apology, particularly for perceived slights against his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, as a prerequisite for any meaningful progress.
However, the dynamics have evolved, with the Duke now expressing his love for his family and his willingness to forgive openly.
According to Bond, the Duke of Sussex’s stance is one of compassion and a desire for more harmonious relationships within the royal family.
While he had once been the one pushing for reconciliation, the situation now appears to have flipped, with the monarch and the Prince of Wales seemingly resistant to the idea.
These observations come in the wake of the monarch’s rebuff of the Duke of Sussex’s request for a meeting, which was put forth a month before the Duke’s recent visit to London.
During his visit to the British capital, the Duke of Sussex’s spokesperson addressed the media, acknowledging the constraints posed by his father’s busy schedule and prior commitments, which led to the meeting being postponed.
