King Charles’ rift with Prince Harry ‘humanises him’ because it ‘mirrors what happens in a lot of families’ and he is ‘reassured’ by the public support, royal insider claims
- The royal aide added that it is ‘clear what side the public has come down on’
King Charles’s rift with Prince Harry ‘humanises him’ because it ‘mirrors what happens in a lot of families’, a royal insider has said.
The friend of the King added that Charles has found the public support ‘reassuring’ and said it is ‘clear what side the public has come down on’ throughout the feud with his youngest son.
The late Queen’s funeral and the coronation were two chances to see Charles lead moments of national unity.
But both events shone a light on the conflict within the main members of the Windsor family.
After Harry’s explosive Netflix documentary and his memoir Spare, Charles took advice from friends and aides outside the household, and settled on a policy for privacy, according to The Times.

The royal aide said: ‘He has done the right thing to rise above it and carry on with the work of the monarchy, which provides a welcome and stark contrast to what happens on the west coast of America.
‘It’s all very sad, but it also mirrors what happens in a lot of families, so it humanises him.’
Prince Harry wasted no time in leaving his father’s coronation in May, getting picked up from Westminster Abbey by a car that immediately headed out of London and was spotted at Heathrow Airport.
Harry was seen smiling as he climbed into a black vehicle immediately after the historic event took place. The same car was then seen being escorted out of the capital by a police motorcade in the direction of Heathrow.
Harry was widely expected to return to California as soon as possible to celebrate his son Archie’s fourth birthday with his wife Meghan.
It was reported that the Duke had been invited to a post-coronation lunch at Buckingham Palace, in what many would have seen as an olive branch after his explosive memoir left several members of the Royal Family reeling – most notably his brother Prince William.
Harry wore an awkward smile as he was forced to watch the event from his relegated seat in the third row – while his sibling took centre stage alongside Kate Middleton.

Earlier, at the late Queen’s funeral in September, Prince William and Harry managed to put aside their feud slightly better to remember their grandmother, as they interacted with each other in the chapel at Windsor Castle.
William was seen walking to the end of the pew while holding back his son Prince George next to wife Kate Middleton and daughter Princess Charlotte, as he beckoned for Harry and Meghan to walk past them.
As for the King’s relationship with his brother, Prince Andrew, the problem remains as to what to do with him, after he was already stripped of his official roles and the use of HRH.
According to aides, King Charles has no desire for Andrew to ‘come out of the freezer’, while attempts to remove Andrew from his abode Royal Lodge and into Frogmore Cottage – the Sussex’s previous home – seem to have been halted.
According to The Times, a royal source thinks that ‘Andrew is more of a long-term problem than Harry and Meghan.’
They added: ‘It feels like more stuff is going to come out on Epstein and there are still unexploded bombs there.’
