A royal expert has disclosed that the king is deeply affected by the Duke of Sussex’s recent actions, which are seen as undermining the monarchy and exacerbating an already strained relationship.
The Duke of Sussex’s decisions since relocating to the U.S. have only added fuel to the fire of the growing rift between him and the king.
Following his visit to the United Kingdom for the 10th anniversary events of the Invictus Games, the Duke of Sussex reportedly expressed a desire to meet with the king and even extended an invitation for him to attend a ceremony at St. Paul’s.
However, sources close to the palace have refuted these claims, stating that the reports are unfounded.
Despite the Duke of Sussex’s apparent disregard for his father’s approval, he unexpectedly reunited with the duchess at Heathrow Airport before embarking on a trip to Nigeria for what has been described as their unofficial royal tour.
Sarah Louise Robertson, speaking on GB News, mentioned that although the king is hurt by his son’s actions, he still harbors love for him, albeit with a shattered sense of trust.
With the monarch facing a cancer diagnosis and the ongoing controversies surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Queen Camilla has taken on a protective stance towards the royal family, particularly the king.
Robertson highlighted that Camilla is fiercely guarding against anything that might upset the king, given the current circumstances.
The timing of the Invictus Games service coincided with the Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace, preventing the king from attending to show his support for the Duke of Sussex.
Robertson also recalled the emotional meeting between the Duke of Sussex and his father prior to the king’s health diagnosis, emphasizing the need for the duke to rebuild trust before any reconciliation can occur.
Reflecting on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s recent tour of an African nation together, Robertson criticized it as an unauthorized attempt to portray themselves as alternative royals.
Despite the duke’s concerns about security threats and living conditions in the UK, he continues to have a four-man security detail assigned to him, as noted by the royal expert.
In light of these developments, the dynamics within the royal family remain complex and fraught with tension.
The implications of the Duke of Sussex’s choices reverberate beyond his personal relationships, impacting the institution of the monarchy itself.
Time will tell whether efforts to mend these rifts and restore trust will come to fruition.
