The connection between King Charles and Prince Harry has reportedly decayed beyond maintenance, leaving little hope for a royal peace. The 76-year-old king has maintained a reserved approach whilst being actually separated by 5, 459 yards from his younger brother, following Harry and Meghan Markle‘s departure from royal jobs in 2020. The father-son marriage has deteriorated to such an amount that palace sources believe peace is now unusual between the royal family members, according to the New York Post. ” There is no turning back”, royal expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News. ” King Charles remains sweet towards his son but didn’t risk conversation. Prince William today has absolutely no interest in cutting gates “.According to Fordwich, the king’s companions advise against peace with his brother as it could possibly affect Prince William’s potential independence. ” The anger is so strong that William has shut the door on Harry. Charles is hardly ready to go against his heir’s wants”, she added. The underlying problem remains one of trust between the parties. A house source informed The NY Post about the queen’s distrust of Harry, especially referencing the Duke of Sussex’s presenting BBC interview, which apparently destroyed their existing trust. Recent reports suggest the prince, who is battling malignancy, remains anxious to restore relations with the 40-year-old child. ” The king and William don’t believe Harry and Meghan with any kind of personal conversation”, royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith told People, adding that” the main issue is trust “.NY Post options also indicate Prince William, Harry’s separated nephew and heir to the throne, shows no inclination towards reconciliation. Meanwhile, the palace sources further claim that Camilla is attempting to remain uninvolved in the situation. A royal commentator recently suggested that the duke’s only chance at family reconciliation would require maintaining a “dignified silence”. This report comes just days after revelations that during delays in obtaining UK passports for their children Archie and Lilibet, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle considered adopting the Spencer surname, being Harry’s mother’s Diana’s maiden name. The Duke of Sussex initiated discussions with his uncle Earl Spencer regarding a potential family surname modification, an action that potentially strained relations further with the royal establishment. The family currently utilises Sussex as their surname, and reports indicate they submitted UK passport applications for Archie and Lilibet, aged six and four respectively, using Sussex alongside HRH ( His/Her Royal Highness ) titles. According to sources speaking to The Guardian, prolonged delays in passport approval led Harry and Meghan to suspect resistance towards their children’s HRH titles, prompting the duke to seek counsel from his uncle. Contrasting accounts have emerged regarding Earl Spencer’s stance. Whilst the Mail on Sunday suggested Princess Diana’s brother cautioned against the change, citing significant legal obstacles, sources close to Harry and Meghan refute this. According to the report from The Guardian, Earl Spencer reportedly showed enthusiasm and support for the proposed surname change.
