Monarch’s Quiet Outing Follows Son’s Emotional Interview Blaming Him for Legal Defeat
King Charles was seen heading to a church service over the weekend—his first public appearance since Prince Harry’s candid BBC interview reignited royal tensions.
Photographed in the back seat of a car en route to the service, the monarch appeared without Queen Camilla at his side, just days after Harry partly blamed him for the loss of his UK security appeal. The Duke of Sussex had stated the issue could have been resolved by his father, adding emotionally, “I don’t know how long he has left to live,” referring to the King’s ongoing cancer battle.
According to The Mirror, Charles had reportedly been open to the idea of reconciliation, but insiders say Harry’s remarks may have undone those hopes. The comments have also sparked public concern and speculation about the King’s health.
Harry, now living in California with Meghan Markle and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, expressed devastation after the court's verdict, claiming he cannot safely return to the UK with his family under the current arrangements.
While Buckingham Palace has not issued a response, King Charles’ solitary church visit sends a quiet but telling message—one of reflection amid a deepening family divide.
