“She can’t respond — it’s a monarchy rule not to.”

The first source then doubled down:

“There’s no way back for Harry and Wills. He’s angry with Harry after what he said about Kate.”

Oof.

For Harry and Charles’ sakes, it doesn’t help that the Prince of Wales has become the second most important person to the king — meaning that if the patriarch wants to reconcile with his youngest, he’s also going to need to make sure the heir to the throne is okay with it, too! The author insisted that “Camilla and William are the people he relies on most.” Reflecting on Charles’ decision to make Will the new colonel-in-chief of the Army Air Corps, he added:

“Even those close to Charles and Camilla felt it was very pointed that Charles did the military handover to Wills that Harry should have had.”

So, Charles is clearly taking sides! And the entire royal family did too when nobody showed up to Harry’s Invictus Games anniversary in May! But the first source is now claiming that the king was never invited, now arguing:

“Harry’s team says he invited Charles, but Charles’s team is adamant he hadn’t been invited.”

Hmm. At this point, we doubt he would’ve gone even if he were invited. Andersen explained that he “sees the fine hand of Camilla” at work behind the scenes of this freeze-out, acknowledging:

“She’s focused on her husband’s health, and injecting Harry into the equation will only cause more turmoil.”

But even he thinks it’s a little much, noting that Charles’ avoidance of his son “does seem a little callous … the late Queen Elizabeth said she wanted Harry to be considered part of the family, always.” During a health battle as scary as cancer, you’d think Charles would want to put everything aside and get back onto good terms with all his family members, too. But the damage is too severe…

Sadly, this ongoing rift will have a huge impact on the next generation — namely Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Speaking of that, a third source emphasized the close bond Charles has with his grandkids Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, but the same can’t be said for Harry’s kids! They reflected:

“It’s left a massive hole in his [Charles’] heart that he’s only spent a few fleeting days with them and then video calls on important days. […] He longs for the same relationship with his American grandkids.”

If His Majesty really cared about reconnecting, he could easily help the family with their security issues and lack of permanent housing in the UK, the source added:

“If the king wanted to see them so badly, he could make it easier to do so.”

Which could only mean one thing:

“Charles harbors a lot of anger towards Harry. He’s always been very protective of Camilla. It’s not easy for him to forgive people who have scorned her.”
