Prince Harry’s recent visit to the UK has reignited discussions about the longstanding rift between him and the royal family, particularly his father King Charles and brother Prince William.
Despite initial hopes of reconciliation, the Duke of Sussex’s trip appears to have left behind a more bitter atmosphere, according to insights from royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams.
Fitzwilliams, speaking to Mirror UK, emphasized that the depth of the divide within the Royal Family has seemingly intensified following Harry’s visit.
Reports emerged that Harry was denied a meeting with his father, King Charles, during his time in the UK, adding fuel to the ongoing tensions.
The expert highlighted the “utterly bizarre subsequent controversy” surrounding the alleged refusal, suggesting that such incidents are unhelpful for Charles as he seeks to maintain a positive public image.
Fitzwilliams underscored the need for Harry and Meghan to navigate their relationship with the royal family carefully, urging them to avoid actions that may offend or further strain relations.
Offering advice to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Fitzwilliams emphasized the importance of preserving their own popularity while not jeopardizing the standing of the royal family.
