Prince Charles still furious at Prince Harry and set to 'freeze' Duke out of royal future
Prince Charles may be planning to "kill two birds with one stone" and freeze son Prince Harry out of the slimmed-down monarchy according to two royal experts.
US weekly royal commentators Molly Mulshine and Christina Garibaldi reflected on the relationship between Prince Charles and Prince Harry. The pair agreed that Prince Charles is likely still furious at his son for the Oprah interview with his wife Meghan Markle. The pair added, Prince Charles may see his goal of slimming down the monarchy a way to cut further ties with his son.
Ms Garibaldi remarked, Prince Harry will likely be unphased about his standing in the Royal Family but more about his relationship with his father.
Ms Garibaldi said: "Let us kick it off with Prince Harry and Prince Charles' strained relationship.
"US weekly are reporting that there really wasn't much progress that was made when Prince Harry was back in the UK for Prince Philip's funeral.
"They really didn't talk and Prince Charles is still pretty mad that this tell-all interview happened."
Ms Mullshine noted it would have been difficult for the pair to reconcile at Prince Philip's funeral.
She said: "It must have been really hard for them to broach the subject while they were dealing with the funeral and everything.
"Of course we know that Prince Charles is working towards a slimmed-down monarchy.
"According to this reporting, it seems like this might killing two birds with one stone."
Ms Garibaldi added: "Yes that is what it seems like, that he is completely freezing Harry out.
"But on the other hand, Harry froze himself out.
"He didn't want to be a part of this anymore so I don't think that is going to bother him.
"But I think it is the fact that he is not having this relationship with his father, not the future king.
"Hopefully they settle their differences in the future but based on these reportings it seems that two at odds.
"It seems like the pair are not going to mend fences any time soon."
The royal commentators added that it seems that Prince Harry has been making some headway with repairing the relationship with his brother William, however.
They insisted that while tensions still remain high, they are talking more and in communication with one another.
