In recent years, King Charles and Prince Harry’s relationship has fractured significantly. Harry’s sense of being less valued than his brother, Prince William, led him to title his memoir *Spare*, sharing childhood memories and grievances, including feeling like a “backup” to William. He also revealed tension with Charles, including moments following Princess Diana’s death and his exclusion of Meghan Markle from seeing Queen Elizabeth II before her passing.
Since Harry’s departure from royal duties in 2020, he and Meghan have focused on life in California, with Harry’s memoir further straining his ties to the Royal Family. Their occasional return to the UK is marred by security issues, with Harry reportedly appealing a court ruling over his family’s protection.
Despite Harry’s efforts to communicate with Charles, sources suggest that the King often avoids his calls, frustrated by Harry’s repeated requests for help on security matters. As their rift deepens, some royal insiders hint that Harry’s place in the line of succession could be under discussion, although a formal removal would require government involvement.
Do you think Harry will ever reconcile with his family?
