In a troubling turn of events, it appears that communication between Prince Harry and his family has hit an all-time low.
Sources close to the situation reveal that neither King Charles nor Prince William have responded to Harry’s attempts to reach out through calls or letters.
This ongoing estrangement paints a stark picture of a family in disarray, with one royal insider describing the situation as “very bad but not irreparable.”
Harry had hoped that by opening a dialogue with his father, he could find a resolution to his ongoing legal battle concerning security arrangements.
However, it seems that King Charles does not possess the authority to grant Harry the protection he seeks.
Buckingham Palace typically refrains from commenting on security matters, leaving many questions unanswered about the family’s internal dynamics.
The tension between Harry and his father has escalated since a seemingly positive meeting in February, shortly after King Charles received a cancer diagnosis.
Reports suggest that the king has been ignoring Harry’s calls and letters, creating a sense of isolation for the Duke of Sussex.
An insider shared that Harry’s attempts to connect regarding his father’s health have gone unanswered, further deepening his concerns.
Amidst these familial tensions, Harry remains deeply worried about the well-being of his wife, Meghan Markle, and their children, Archie and Lilibet.
The distance from his family has left him feeling vulnerable and anxious.
According to sources, Harry views his father as his last hope for assistance, driven by a fierce desire to keep his loved ones safe.
The complexities surrounding Harry’s security needs are significant.
While he believes that as king, Charles should be able to provide him with protection, the reality is more complicated.
The decision-making body for police protection for public figures rests with Ravec’s executive committee, not the monarch himself.
This bureaucratic barrier has left Harry in a precarious position.
Adding to the frustration, a judge recently rejected Harry’s proposal to personally fund police protection, compounding his feelings of helplessness.
Despite his willingness to shoulder the costs, the lack of official support has left him exposed, especially given the threats he and his family have faced in the past.
The situation worsened after Harry and Meghan stepped back from royal duties; they were informed that their police protection had been withdrawn.
Sources indicate that this decision was influenced by intervention within the royal family, despite Queen Elizabeth II’s acknowledgment of the risks involved.
