The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, has found himself at the center of controversy once again as he faces criticism for his ongoing rift with the Royal Family.

In a series of bombshell claims made in 2023, Prince Harry has aired his grievances against his family, leaving many shocked and concerned.

Now, as the holiday season approaches, there are calls for him to extend an olive branch and apologize to his father, King Charles.

Royal reporter Michael Cole has weighed in on the matter, urging Prince Harry to mend fences with his family.

Speaking on GB News, Cole expressed his disappointment in the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s decision to spend Christmas away from their British relatives.

He emphasized the significance of this time of year, when families traditionally come together, and highlighted the hurt that King Charles must feel at not being able to see his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, who reside in California.

Cole, while acknowledging that many families face challenges during the holidays, stressed the importance of reconciliation.

He advised Prince Harry to reach out, offer apologies, and demonstrate genuine remorse.

According to Cole, this is an opportunity for the Duke of Sussex to show love and unity within his own family, just as ordinary families strive to do.

The Royal Family’s plans for Christmas are meticulously arranged well in advance, with the guest list finalized.

However, it has been confirmed that Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, will not be joining King Charles at Sandringham House.

Instead, they have recently returned from a brief trip to Costa Rica, which took place from December 14th to December 20th, and are now back in their home in Montecito, California.

It is expected that they will spend Christmas there, likely in the company of Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland.

This unexpected getaway has raised eyebrows, as it appears to be a deliberate statement from the Sussexes, asserting their independence and indifference towards not being invited to the traditional royal Christmas celebrations.

However, their actions seem to have backfired, drawing attention and criticism at a time when most people are focused on preparing for the holiday season.

This is not the first time Prince Harry has been urged to apologize to his father.
