It is no secret that Prince Harry has not seen his father, King Charles, in a very long time. The exiled prince has been at conflict with the Royal Family for comments he made about them in interviews and in his book, Spare. In recent months, however, whispers regarding a possible royal comeback for Harry have been on the table, making for interesting reading indeed.
But, as 2024 comes to a conclusion, it looks that the tables have turned. According to royal expert Jennie Bond, Prince Harry’s decision not to include any new information in a recently released paperback version of Spare may indicate that he is now in control. Furthermore, the possibility of suing the UK government may result in a ‘awkward’ reunion with his father.
King Charles ‘won’t answer’ when Prince Harry calls
Charles doesn’t want to answer the phone when his son calls. Moreover, there are even harsher rumors about how little he wants to speak with his son. Speaking with the Mirror, royal commentator Emily Andrews claimed King Charles reacts harshly whenever an aide approaches him with a phone to inform him that Harry is on the line.
“Now, even his own father is not taking his calls. I’m told that when courtiers bring the phone to the King (Charles doesn’t have his own mobile phone) he waves them away in irritation,” she told the Mirror.
“Harry is frightened”
Meanwhile, a royal expert suggested that Harry could even sue the UK government, which could lead to an tricky reunion between him and his father. But we’ll get to that in a bit.
According to a royal insider speaking to People Magazine, whether Harry and his family get security when visiting the UK will play a vital role in the Duke’s relationship with his father.
“Harry is frightened and feels the only person who can do anything about it is his father,” the source told People.
Royal expert says Prince Harry has put King Charles in “legal jeopardy”
According to royal expert Jennie Bond said that Harry is now in the front seat regarding who is responsible for the bad relationship with the Royal Family.
“It would be lovely if the New Year could bring some movement in the rift between Harry and the rest of his UK family. But it’s hard to see how that’s going to happen, particularly while Harry insists on pursuing his court case against the Home Office about security,” Bond told OK!.
“This puts the King in real legal jeopardy. He really can’t be drawn into any discussion with Harry about a legal dispute with his own government. So it makes any potential meeting extremely awkward.”
