King Charles's strained relationship with Prince Harry boils down to one major issue, according to a royal expert. Despite his deep love for his son, the king finds it difficult to let go of his resentment towards Prince Harry, particularly following revelations made in his memoir, "Spare."
Royal biographer Christopher Anderson has suggested that Charles's unforgiveness is intricately tied to Harry's candid revelations about the family. Speaking with Fox News Digital, Anderson highlighted that Charles's sensitivity towards criticism of Camilla is a significant factor. He noted, "I think people have to realize that the one thing that Charles finds unforgivable is criticism of Camilla."
Anderson went on to emphasize that Harry's remarks about Camilla have deeply affected the king. "Prince Harry made it clear that he felt she was the villain in the peace. I think that still bothers The King and I don't know that it will be easy for him to forgive," Anderson added.
Regarding Prince Harry's absence from public Father's Day messages, royal pundit Lizzy Cundy criticized the prince's actions. Speaking to GBN America, Cundy expressed disappointment, contrasting Harry's silence with Prince William's public acknowledgment of their father. "It shows the bond they still have and the respect he has for his father, and there's Harry very noticeably absent," she remarked.
Cundy's assessment of Harry's actions was unforgiving. She noted, "Harry just seems to have lost the plot and how hurtful indeed not to even send a Father's Day message."
While King Charles and Queen Camilla attended Royal Ascot, with the king participating in the event despite ongoing cancer treatment, their presence has been notable. The couple led the procession on the fourth day of the event, and despite a humorous moment at the trophy ceremony, where Charles interacted with jockey Tom Marquand, their horse did not place as expected.
Queen Camilla's fashion choices at Royal Ascot 2024 received praise from Royal Watchers, highlighting her elegance in an Anna Valentine pastel blue coat dress paired with a Philip Treacy feathered hat and Queen Elizabeth II's Jardine Star brooch.
Throughout the event, Queen Camilla stood steadfast by King Charles's side, enjoying the prestigious spectacle with binoculars in hand, underscoring their enduring presence amid ongoing public and personal challenges.
