James pointed out that in early photos of Prince Harry with his parents, he was primarily seen with his mother, who showered him with hugs and cuddles. However, after Princess Diana's death, photos emerged of a playful and affectionate relationship between Prince Charles and his two sons, especially during skiing trips.
During this time, Harry often used teasing and playful banter to get his father's attention, as he missed the open affection he had received from his mother.
Although the photos may not have captured the full story, Prince Harry and Prince William were often the ones initiating hugs and encouraging their father to show affection for the cameras. Despite this, Prince Charles always responded with warmth and affection for his sons.
Although there may have been some signals of tension between father and son in recent times, such as Prince Harry's decision to step back from royal duties and move to the US, there have also been moments of warmth and pride between them. For example, Prince Charles was seen beaming with pride as he walked Meghan Markle up the aisle on her wedding day.
