Cousins said to be ‘fed up’ following Harry’s controversial remarks about King Charles
Prince Harry's hopes for a royal reconciliation may have suffered a devastating blow, with reports claiming that even his closest royal cousins—Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, and Zara Tindall—have distanced themselves following his latest public comments.
In a recent BBC interview, the Duke of Sussex spoke openly about his ongoing estrangement from the royal family after losing a legal challenge regarding his UK security. While Harry expressed a desire to reconcile, he also made headlines with a controversial remark about his father King Charles, saying: “Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has… but it would be nice to reconcile.”
The comment, intended as a gesture of goodwill, was instead met with widespread criticism from royal supporters, who viewed it as yet another instance of Harry discussing private family matters on television.
According to Private Eye, as cited by the Scottish Daily Express, Beatrice, Eugenie, and Zara—long seen as potential peacemakers between Harry and the rest of the royal family—have now reached their limit. “Harry's cousins held out the longest, determined to bring about peace – but even they have now given up after their proffered olive branches were routinely sharpened into arrows and fired back,” an insider revealed.
The source added, “The late Queen insisted the palace door be kept open for Harry and Meghan. Now it seems to be locked and bolted—and Harry is trying to change that on live TV.”
If true, the shift marks a significant turning point in Harry’s relationship with the royal family, suggesting that even his most sympathetic relatives may no longer see a way forward for reconciliation.
