The rift between King Charles III and Prince Harry seems to have become a chasm.
Four years after the Duke of Sussex and Meghan Markle left institutional life, the chances of reconciliation with his father are fading.
Although the monarch remains fond of his youngest son, he has chosen to cut off communication, in part to avoid jeopardizing the role of his heir, Prince William, who is also unwilling to reach out.
Charles and Harry Further Apart Than Ever
Sources close to the palace say that the biggest obstacle is mistrust. Harry’s public revelations, especially in interviews such as the one he gave to the BBC, have destroyed what little trust remained.
According to one informant, the king no longer sees it as possible to share private information with his son, let alone engage in meaningful family conversations.
Prince William, for his part, remains firm. Those around him say he has no intention of offering a truce and considers any attempt by his father to make peace with Harry to be harmful.
In this context, the king has reportedly decided to respect his eldest son’s position, prioritizing the stability of the institution over personal reconciliation.
Meanwhile, Queen Camilla remains on the sidelines of the conflict and prefers not to intervene.
Some observers believe that if Harry truly desires a rapprochement, he should begin by remaining silent and avoiding further public tensions.
For now, the estrangement between father and son appears definitive, with the royal family more divided than ever.
