"The damage is done": between Harry and Charles, an impossible reconciliation?
Prince Charles does not seem ready to forgive his son, Prince Harry. Annoyed by his various interviews, he would no longer answer his phone calls.
Since his interview with Oprah Winfrey last March, Prince Harry seems to have severed ties with a large part of his family, including his father, Prince Charles. To the point that a reconciliation between the son and the father seems unthinkable. And the Duke of Sussex's latest interview for Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast didn't help. During this exchange, Prince William's brother explained that he left the United Kingdom for California in order to "break the cycle" of "pain and suffering" inherent in royal life.
Words that did not fail to cause a stir on the side of the British Crown. Asked in the documentary Charles & Harry: Father and Son Divided, Tom Quinn, author of several books on the British royal family, judges that the gap between Harry and Charles "has widened considerably ". "I think if they are not careful it will be very difficult to bridge this gap in the future", continues the specialist. An opinion shared by Grant Harrold, ex-butler of Prince Charles. "The damage is done. And it makes me sad because the relationship I knew, which was a loving, caring and fun relationship, can never be like this again," said the former employee.
Charles may never forgive Harry "
Despite the multiple attempts at reconciliation, the dialogue seems to have broken down. According to a source interviewed by Us Weekly magazine, "Charles may never forgive Harry". The anger in the heir to the throne is so deep that he now refuses to answer the calls of his younger brother. A situation that did not fail to cause friction with Elizabeth II. "She feels (Charles) is putting her pride ahead of the best interests of the monarchy," said the same insider. "The cup is full with the death of her husband. It's a tragedy she can do without."
