Prince Harry is reportedly becoming a significant headache for the royal family, particularly for King Charles, who still expects his son to return to the fold, perhaps quietly and without disruption. The new insight was shared by former palace spokesman Dickie Arbiter, who spoke candidly on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show.
Prince Harry Becoming a Family Dilemma Again
According to Arbiter, Prince Harry may want reconciliation, but it’s not that simple. “Harry has flagged up that he’d like his dad and brother there,” he noted, “but you have to clear up a lot of bad air to get them there.” The former aide suggested that the situation with King Charles is especially complex, as the monarch is reportedly “very hurt by what his son has done.”
King Charles Expects Quiet Mending, but Faces a Royal Headache
Arbiter highlighted how King Charles still loves his son, but reconciling isn’t as easy when public wounds run deep. “There doesn’t seem to be any move of rapprochement,” he said, adding that any approach from Harry could cause a “massive headache,” especially considering the damage already done.
Prince Harry Becoming a Public Problem, Not Just a Private One
In the eyes of royal commentators, Prince Harry is becoming not just a private issue but also a public dilemma. “You don’t just roll over,” Arbiter explained, “after being rubbished for so long.” The expectation that King Charles would quietly forgive and forget only adds to the strain within the Firm.
Forgiveness Isn't Automatic, Especially With Meghan in the Picture
The expert made it clear that the dynamics aren’t just between Prince Harry and King Charles. Meghan Markle, referred to as “Mrs Sussex,” also plays a pivotal role in the ongoing tension. “There’s an equation to all of this,” Arbiter said. “And the other half of the equation is Mrs Sussex.”
Royal Family Quietly Hopes for Change, But Headache Persists
While King Charles may still expect his son to return quietly, without fanfare, the possibility remains slim. As Prince Harry continues becoming more vocal and visible on the world stage, insiders believe the headache for the royal family is far from over.
