Over the years, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have caused quite a stir within the royal family, and it appears that even the king himself has reached his breaking point.
According to the Times' royal editor, Roya Nikia, those close to King Charles say that he's becoming increasingly exasperated with his younger son. The source reveals that the king brings up Harry in conversations frequently and expresses his sadness and bewilderment.
However, there is now an added frustration due to Harry's continuous behavior that seems to defy expectations and responsibilities of a member of the royal family.
Recently, Prince Harry returned to London to testify in one of his many ongoing court cases. While in the courtroom, he openly criticized the British government, claiming that they had hit rock bottom. This public display left insiders within the palace unimpressed.
A source who knows Harry well stated that he seems to have lost his understanding of how to conduct himself as a member of the royal family.
The source points out that there is no one around him to provide guidance or advise him on what he can do and cannot say, leading to embarrassing situations for both Harry and the British monarchy.
It's reported that the palace finds Harry's behavior extremely difficult and uncomfortable to navigate. Despite his desire to separate himself from the institution, one cannot fully detach from their role identity. His comments have raised eyebrows not only within the palace but also in Westminster, as they were unnecessary and core to his case.
The lack of discretion and careful consideration in his public statement reflects poorly on both Harry and Britain as a whole.
Former royal aides who had once defended Harry and Meghan have also expressed concern. They acknowledged that the couple pushed their relationship with the media to the limit, but even they are taken aback by Harry's actions.
The strain caused by these events has strained the relationship between Harry, Meghan, and those who were once their staunchest supporters.
