Behind the palace walls, tension is reportedly rising. King Charles is said to be deeply uneasy about Prince Harry's closeness to his maternal uncle, Earl Spencer, following the release of a new book that puts Princess Diana's past back in the spotlight.
According to a royal insider who spoke to Closer Online, the claims made against the King in Earl Spencer's book hit the palace like a tidal wave. The source said the royals normally stay silent on such matters, but this time they felt forced to respond because the accusations were so upsetting for the monarch.
The relationship between the King and Charles Spencer has never been warm, the insider added. That history is exactly why Harry's friendship with his uncle is causing so much worry. Reportedly, it is making both the King and Prince William feel very uncomfortable.
The bad blood between the royal family and Diana's side of the family runs deep. In the words of the source, it feels to the King as though Harry is standing on the other side. Nobody knows what the two may be planning together, and the King is said to be preparing for the worst.
For now, none of this has been confirmed on the record. It comes from an unnamed insider, so it is best read as palace gossip rather than official fact. Still, it shows how fragile the family's relationships remain, with the shadow of Diana's legacy hanging over every move.
