In a surprising turn of events, King Charles and Prince Harry are not expected to reconcile anytime soon.
Sources close to the royal family have revealed that the newly crowned leader has no intention of rearranging his schedule to meet with his youngest son during his visit to the UK.
This comes after Harry made shocking allegations about his relatives in his explosive book, Spare, which has undoubtedly strained their already fragile relationship.
The strained dynamic extends beyond just King Charles and Prince Harry, as it appears that the once-close siblings, Prince William and Harry, have not spoken to each other in months.
The tension between them continues to escalate, especially after Harry’s recent Netflix special, The Heart of Invictus, where he publicly criticized his father and the rest of his family.
He claimed that he received little emotional support when his mother passed away, leaving him to deal with the tragedy at the young age of 12.
Despite the ongoing public criticism, Harry has reportedly expressed his willingness to engage in peace talks with King Charles and the Prince of Wales.
However, Meghan Markle, Harry’s wife, has made it clear that she will not be accompanying him on this trip to the UK.
This decision comes after a perceived snub from the royal family on Meghan’s birthday, which further strained their relationship.
According to a source, Meghan refuses to have anything to do with the royals and sees visiting the UK as conceding defeat.
Speculation arose in August when the royal family remained silent during Meghan’s 42nd birthday celebrations, leading some to believe it was a deliberate snub.
Despite Harry’s pleas for Meghan to extend an olive branch, she has chosen to distance herself from the situation, leaving him to face the potential reconciliation alone.
Meghan is reportedly concerned about Catherine, the Princess of Wales, interfering in any future conversations between Harry, William, and Charles, fearing that she won’t be there to defend herself.
Although Meghan is expected to join Harry on his trip, it will only be after he has visited the UK and traveled to mainland Europe.
This visit comes amidst rumors about the state of their marriage, sparked by the release of Harry’s controversial memoir, Spare, and the subsequent fallout.
Additionally, the couple’s multi-million dollar deal with Spotify coming to an end raised further questions about Meghan’s absence from the entire overseas trip.
In recent weeks, the couple attended Beyonce’s Renaissance tour at the SoFi Stadium in California, sparking speculation about the state of their relationship.
However, the focus now remains on Prince Harry’s visit to the UK, where the hope for a reconciliation with his family hangs in the balance.
As tensions continue to rise, it remains to be seen whether King Charles and Prince Harry can find common ground and mend their fractured relationship.
