Reports suggest their recent attempt at reconciliation may have collapsed after Harry’s new claims about palace insiders.
King Charles III’s efforts to mend his relationship with his youngest son, Harry, appear to have suffered a serious setback. The Duke’s recent claims have reportedly left the 76-year-old monarch heartbroken and frustrated.
Harry’s spokesperson recently issued a statement denying quotes attributed to him about his meeting with his father, saying they were “pure invention fed, one can only assume, by sources intent on sabotaging any reconciliation between father and son.”
According to royal expert Hilary Fordwich, the public statement deeply disappointed the King, who had been hopeful about rebuilding trust. “It overall makes future peace talks harder and reaffirms Prince William’s skepticism,” Fordwich told Fox News Digital.
A palace insider said that senior aides have been quietly working to improve the fragile family dynamic, but the latest controversy may have undone that progress. “The reality is that senior aides have been working behind the scenes to improve what is a delicate but important private family relationship,” the source shared.
The palace is reportedly monitoring Harry’s next steps closely following these new allegations. Meanwhile, King Charles is said to be considering significant changes to a long-standing royal tradition, sparking speculation about how he plans to navigate the ongoing tensions within his family.
