Harry: the prince opens up in a letter to his father Charles, who remains unmoved
Before Prince Philip's funeral, Prince Harry reportedly wanted to break the ice with his father, Prince Charles, through a letter. Only, the latter would not have reacted in the way he hoped.
Between Prince Charles and his son, Harry, ties were severely damaged when the latter made the decision to break with his royal commitments. Words were said to have been said and would have hurt both father and son. Moreover, during the interview that Prince Harry had granted with his wife, Meghan Markle, to Oprah Winfrey, he assured that he loved his father very much and that he would always love him. “But a lot of damage has been done, and one of my priorities is to try to heal this relationship,” he said. It seems that he took advantage of Prince Charles' funeral and his return to England to open his heart to her. According to the Mirror's information, Archie's father wrote a "deeply personal" letter to his father.
According to a relative of the royal family, Prince Harry would have wanted to "put things straight". He would have taken advantage of this missive to "state the reasons for his departure" to America, while promising to "respect the royal institution". "To be honest, Harry didn't really know what to expect, which is why he contacted him before seeing everyone again," the anonymous source added. Problem: Prince Charles would not have reacted as expected at all.
Prince Charles would still be "very hurt"
"Things did not exactly smooth out as he hoped," continued the anonymous witness. Since this letter, the relationship between father and son has even deteriorated and has become "extremely icy". The cause: Prince Charles is still "very hurt" by the accusations of racism and harassment formulated by his son. However, whether it was father or son, both made the decision to put their disagreements aside during Prince Charles' funeral. "There was a kind of tacit agreement between the members of the royal family, in order to ignore what was on their minds, and to just support the Queen in view of the funeral of Prince Philip."
