Prince Harry’s depiction of King Charles in his memoir, “Spare,” has stirred controversy as a royal expert challenges the accuracy of his portrayal.

The Duke’s return to the UK for the upcoming Invictus Games anniversary service is overshadowed by mounting criticism of his memoir.

Within “Spare,” Prince Harry offers a scathing critique of the royal family, revealing intimate details of his upbringing.

Notably, he asserts that his father, King Charles, lacked the essential qualities required for single parenthood, including responsibility, patience, and time.

Royal editor Matt Wilkinson strongly refutes these claims, arguing that they unjustly tarnish Charles’s image, who assumed the throne in September 2022.

Speaking on The Sun’s show, “Royal Exclusive,” Wilkinson recalls instances where Charles exhibited love and affection towards his children, albeit in a more reserved manner compared to Diana.

He vividly describes a moment when Charles and Diana interacted with the crew aboard the Royal Britannia, highlighting their contrasting approaches.

During a trip to India, Charles faced criticism for not accompanying Diana to the iconic Taj Mahal, opting instead to attend a business engagement 500 miles away.

Such incidents have led to perceptions of Charles as aloof and detached.

Reflecting on past experiences, such as Harry and William’s visit to Canada post-Diana’s death, memories of adoring fans and chaotic scenes resurface, underscoring the current estrangement between the brothers.

The narrative of Harry becoming William’s trusted advisor upon the latter’s ascent to the throne has been shattered.

Following their decision in January 2020 to step back from senior royal duties due to strained relations within the monarchy, Harry and Meghan Markle retained their titles as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex but lost the prestigious HRH honorifics.

Harry also relinquished his military roles, leading to infrequent visits to the UK, notably for significant events like the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and her funeral.

In a separate context, Harry made a brief visit for the King’s coronation in May 2023 and had a short meeting with Charles after Buckingham Palace revealed the King’s cancer battle.

The dynamics within the royal family continue to evolve, with Harry’s experiences shaping his relationship with his father and the broader institution.

As discussions around the royal family persist, the complexities of their interactions and decisions remain under public scrutiny.
