Duke’s BBC Interview Triggers Royal Fallout and Renewed Tensions
King Charles is said to be feeling “betrayed” after Prince Harry made unsettling remarks about his father’s health during an emotional BBC interview, further straining already tense family relations.
In the interview, which aired shortly after Harry’s legal defeat over UK security, the Duke of Sussex admitted he wasn’t sure “how long his father had left to live.” The statement shocked royal watchers and raised questions about the King’s condition.
Former royal butler Grant Harrold spoke to GB News, criticising the public nature of Harry’s comments. “This is confidential information that Harry has discussed with the media,” he said. “Surely, he must have been aware those words would spark speculation.”
Drawing from personal experience, Harrold said, “I lost my mother to cancer, and she fought it privately. I don’t know if I’d want that made public either.”
He expressed confusion over Harry’s motives, adding, “I just don’t understand what he’s trying to achieve. I knew Harry well. I knew how close he was to his family. And I just don’t get what’s going on.”
The Palace has remained silent, upholding its long-standing tradition of protecting private family matters—especially those related to health.
