Prince Harry’s rift with his royal relatives, including his father King Charles, shows no signs of being healed – and an insider has revealed what Meghan Markle thinks about the feud
Prince Harry’s bitter feud with King Charles shows no signs of being healed with their relationship still thought to be at an all-time low. And when it comes to Harry’s fallout with his royal relatives, it seems that his wife Meghan views the row differently than her husband.
While Harry gave a recent bombshell interview, confirming he is no longer speaking to his father, Meghan has remained quiet on the family fallout. Instead, she has appeared to be focused on building her As Ever lifestyle business and lining up new products as well as working on her Netflix show and podcast.
And according to a source close to the couple, despite Meghan firmly standing by Harry’s side, she reportedly wishes he would feel “less burdened” by the past and instead “more present in the life they’ve built together”. The source told PEOPLE that Meghan is focused on the future and is “very business about it” while Harry reportedly has “one foot in the past”.
It comes after Palace insiders revealed one of the key factors that could be stopping the King from making the first move in reconciling with his estranged son.
The feud between father and son is believed to have gone from bad to worse in recent weeks after Harry gave an explosive interview to the BBC after losing another court battle over his security arrangements in the UK.
In that interview, he confirmed that things had got so bad between him and his father, that the King, who is still having cancer treatment, will not speak to him and he does not know “how much longer my father has” left.
It comes after Harry railed against his family in his memoir Spare, where he criticised his father, branded his stepmother Queen Camilla dangerous and claimed older brother Prince William physically attacked him.
Some have suggested that if father and son are to get their relationship back on track, it should be the King to reach out and make the first move. However, a palace insider told PEOPLE magazine one of the reasons why this has not been the case so far – and they claimed it is because those around the King have not “encouraged reconciliation”.
According to the publication, William has shown “no interest” in repairing the rift, Camilla “stays out of it” while even the King’s most personal aide, private secretary Sir Clive Alderton, is “unlikely to push for a personal outreach”.
Respected royal correspondent and author Valentine Low told the publication of Charles: “There is not a good angel in his ear to say, ‘Be a good dad and make the first move’.”
Talking about Harry’s bombshell BBC interview, he added: “It wasn’t meant to be an attack, but it would be seen as one. It makes Charles reach out even harder.”
In his shock interview after losing his security case at the Court of Appeal, Harry admitted: “Of course, some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book. Of course, they will never forgive me for lots of things.”
