King Charles III has acknowledged that Prince Harry is "a traitor and an ungrateful person" for having turned his back on his family. After years of estrangement, King Charles III has finally put an end to the rumors by showing his discomfort toward his youngest son. Sources close to Charles III state that he doesn't hesitate to openly share the sense of detachment Harry causes him.
There have been several occasions when the Duke of Sussex has mercilessly lashed out against the British royal family. Through interviews, documentaries, or his memoirs, the central theme has always been to discredit his own family. King Charles III feels that every public appearance by Harry perpetuates a storm that damages the image of the Crown, and he doesn't intend to forgive him.
King Charles III opens up about what he feels for Prince Harry
King Charles III has put an end to the rumors about what he truly feels for Prince Harry. In the midst of his battle with cancer, Charles III has said enough and has taken a side in the war with his youngest son.
The British king openly acknowledges that Harry is "a traitor and an ungrateful person," and he isn't willing to forgive him. Charles III's great discomfort reached its peak with the legal battle his youngest son launched against the British government. Prince Harry demands to enjoy the same protection he had before leaving the United Kingdom and, for now, it has been denied.
That trial over his security not only angered the king, but also reinforced his conviction that Harry crossed an institutional line with no solution. Nevertheless, Meghan Markle's husband doesn't give up and is willing to go all the way.
Added to this are the statements the prince has made against his family, which have only served to increase the tension. For all these reasons, King Charles III calls his own son "a traitor and an ungrateful person," breaking off all communication with him.
King Charles III confirms the total break with Prince Harry
Sources have confirmed that father and son haven't exchanged letters or messages for over a year since this conflict erupted. Not even King Charles III's illness has led Prince Harry to bury the hatchet.
Since Harry moved to the United States, Charles III considers him distant geographically, emotionally, and even symbolically for the monarchical institution. An institutional farewell that the king isn't willing to reverse as long as that defiant stance persists.
Proof of this was the celebration of Father's Day in the United Kingdom, where Charles III made no mention of Prince Harry. Nor did Meghan's husband congratulate his father, focusing solely on the family he has formed with Markle.
It is clear that Charles III not only thinks poorly of Harry: he has decided to isolate him completely and strategically to preserve the institutional integrity of his reign. As long as this strategy of silence and ignorance continues, any real possibility of reconciliation between the two will remain completely ruled out.
The king's inner circle points out that he is "upset and frustrated" with this situation, but above all, by the public exposure of his estrangement from Harry. Behind closed doors, it is very difficult to hear Charles III say a good word about his youngest son. Everything is resentment and helplessness in the face of a situation he never thought would happen.
Nevertheless, the king assumes part of the blame for having been too permissive with Harry when he was a child. As he recounted in his memoirs, if he had raised him differently, this family break wouldn't have happened.
