The King ‘desperately misses’ his son Prince Harry and is ‘tiring’ of William’s ‘self-righteous intractability’ in the feud dividing their family, a royal biographer has reported via Daily Mail.
Highly-respected author Tina Brown, who was friends with the late Princess Diana, stated Charles ‘wants to re-embrace Harry’ but only if ‘he can keep his mouth shut’.
Brown has claimed the King’s 54-minute chat with Harry at Clarence House in London during his UK visit on September 10th was ‘the fulfilment of paternal longing’.
However, she warned William remains ‘enraged’ by his ‘treacherous’ brother’s trip to Britain and his attempts to ‘upstage’ him by holding engagements at the same time.
It came as Daily Mail noted that Prince Harry will never be allowed to return as a ‘half-in, half out’ working royal – and claims he could ‘take some of the load off’ his brother, Prince William, are ‘wide of the mark’.
Insiders have reacted angrily on Sunday night to briefings by sources apparently close to the Duke of Sussex that his recent meeting with King Charles, at the end of what his team believes was a hugely successful charity trip to the UK, signalled a ‘thawing of their relationship’ and the ‘acceptance’ of his family ‘back into the royal fold’.
Former Vanity Fair editor Ms Brown has said that the positive reception to Harry’s charity events would have angered the Prince of Wales after his sibling ‘trashed his family’.
She further picked up on how Harry said during an interview while visiting Ukraine after the UK that his ‘conscience is clear’ after speaking out against other royals.
The author said this ‘suggests to his haters the futility of expecting Harry Hotspur to play the old royal game’, when the King wants Harry to stop speaking out.
