The reconciliation between the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex seems unlikely, as per royal watchers.
Royal author Christopher Anderson revealed that the Prince of Wales declined to meet his brother during his recent visit to the UK, citing deep-seated bitterness between them.
In an exclusive interview with Hello, Canada, Anderson, the author of The King, The Life of Charles III, highlighted the immense pressure faced by the Prince of Wales in balancing his family and royal duties amidst health issues within the royal family.
The shocking news of Princess Catherine of Wales’ cancer diagnosis last month sent ripples worldwide.
Following treatment for an enlarged prostate, Buckingham Palace announced in February that the King is battling cancer.
Anderson suggested that the Prince of Wales may struggle to accommodate the Duke of Sussex’s requests for assistance with royal responsibilities while his father and sister-in-law recover.
The bitterness between the brothers has been further fueled by the upcoming release of the Duke of Sussex’s memoir, Spare.
The Prince of Wales, burdened with the responsibility of upholding both his family and the monarchy during this challenging period, finds the prospect of integrating Spare back into the royal fold a daunting distraction.
According to Anderson, the Prince of Wales faces more immediate concerns than reconciling with his brother, as he lacks the capacity to handle the baggage associated with the Duke of Sussex.
Renowned author Tina Brown, from the Palace Papers, emphasized that Princess Catherine holds the key to rescuing the royal family from its current predicament.
Brown asserted that Catherine, second only to the Prince of Wales in popularity within the royal family, is crucial for the monarchy’s future stability.
She highlighted Charles’ vision for a streamlined monarchy as a factor contributing to the current fragility of the institution.
The absence of the Wales family members has intensified the strain on the inner circle of the monarchy, with little support coming from other relatives, according to Brown.
Despite a brief respite from intense scrutiny following Catherine’s cancer announcement, the focus is expected to return to the Wales family soon, as predicted by Brown.
As tensions within the royal family continue to escalate, the burden on the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex shows no signs of easing.
The intricate dynamics of the royal household remain under the spotlight, raising questions about the future direction of the monarchy.
