King Charles Ignores Prince Harry's Calls

King Charles III is reportedly not responding to Prince Harry's attempts to reach out, a situation that has been exacerbated by Harry's controversial remarks about the royal family. According to royal author Christopher Andersen, Harry's characterization of his stepmother, Camilla, as a "villain" in his memoir "Spare" and his public pleas for his father not to marry her have created a significant rift. Andersen noted that these actions are seen by Charles as a "cardinal sin," leading to a breakdown in communication. Palace insiders have suggested that Harry's memoir and subsequent interviews have eroded the family's trust in him. Andersen emphasized that this ongoing tension remains a "thorn" in the king's side, particularly as Harry has accused royal family members of compromising their integrity for favorable media coverage. He specifically criticized Camilla for her efforts to improve her public image following her affair with Charles, which he believes has made her a "dangerous" figure within the royal circle. Despite his concerns for his father's health amid a cancer battle, Harry's calls have reportedly gone unanswered. Andersen indicated that Camilla and other close advisors have advised Charles to avoid re-engaging with Harry, viewing it as detrimental to his well-being. The king is encouraged to focus on his health rather than the "drama" associated with Harry and Meghan. The strained relationship between Harry and his family has persisted since he and Meghan stepped back from royal duties in 2020, with Harry expressing fears for their safety during visits to the UK due to public hostility.
