Monarch’s silence shatters Duke’s hopes of family reunion in UK
Prince Harry has received a distressing message from the Palace just ahead of the verdict in his high-profile security case, further deepening the emotional distance between him and King Charles.
The Duke of Sussex had been hoping to reconnect with his family and reintroduce his children to their heritage in the UK. However, People magazine reports that a Palace insider confirmed there is still no “rapprochement” between father and son—implying the monarch is deliberately keeping his distance, particularly while legal proceedings continue.
Despite Harry’s efforts to repair relations with his ailing father, sources say the relationship remains distant. Royal commentator Sally Bedell Smith suggested that Charles’s silence is intentional, noting that even a harmless remark could influence the outcome of the case due to the King’s indirect involvement through the royal security system.
It’s believed this latest development has upended Harry’s personal plans to reunite his family in Britain and introduce his children to their royal roots.
The Duke recently attended a two-day hearing at London’s Royal Courts of Justice in a bid to restore his police protection, which was removed following his and Meghan Markle’s royal exit in 2020. During the hearing, Harry revealed that his “worst fears” had been confirmed, as unsettling information surfaced in court.
