In a tale that seems to grow more complex by the day, the relationship between King Charles III and his younger son, the Duke of Sussex, has taken a definitive turn for the worse.<\/p>\n

Once characterized by heartfelt sentiments, their bond has been overshadowed by distance and discord since the Duke and his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, made the bold decision to step back from royal duties and relocate to the United States in 2020.<\/p>\n

Since their departure, the Duke of Sussex has experienced a chilly relationship with not only his father but also other members of the royal family.<\/p>\n

His return to the UK in May did little to thaw the frosty atmosphere, as he has notably avoided any meetings with the King or other royals.<\/p>\n

The rift appears to extend beyond his father, with tensions also evident between him and his older brother, the Prince of Wales.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the past, King Charles once expressed deep pride in his son following the Duke\u2019s return from a ten-week military stint in Afghanistan back in 2008.<\/p>\n

At that time, the royal family was still basking in a moment of unity, far removed from the controversies that would later engulf them.<\/p>\n

The Duke’s homecoming was marked by an emotional greeting from his father and brother, who had just landed at R.F.<\/p>\n

The circumstances surrounding the Duke\u2019s return were somewhat tumultuous, as media outlets had breached an agreement designed to keep his deployment under wraps.<\/p>\n

This led to heightened scrutiny and pressure, making the King’s warm welcome all the more poignant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
