The Real Reason King Charles May Never Reconcile With His Youngest Son Prince Harry has been revealed in an explosive new book.

Royal author Robert Hardman claimed the monarch could not risk jeopardizing her relationship with another major royal by extending an olive branch to Harry.

Hardman revealed to Daily Mail that problems between King and his California-based son have eased in light of his cancer diagnosis, but that the relationship can never be fully repaired.

Before his diagnosis was announced, the royal called everyone in his family, including the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in California.

Harry quickly arranged to fly to London to visit his father, arriving at lunchtime the day after the announcement.

He said in an interview: “I jumped on a plane and went to see him as soon as I could. I love my family. The fact that I was able to get on a plane and go see him and pass time with him, I am grateful for that.”

Before the father-son meeting, the King was due to leave with the Queen for Sandringham, but postponed his departure to meet Harry at Clarence House.

The meeting was brief, lasting less than an hour and no details were released by either the Palace or Sussex camps. Family friends cautioned against reading too much into the visit.

It is acknowledged at Buckingham Palace that the king is open to some form of reconciliation with the Sussexes, especially as he has barely seen his grandchildren Archie and Lilibet, now aged five and three.

A former member of staff revealed: “He always had an iron discipline not to stir things up with the Sussexes. It can take a huge effort to do nothing when you are criticized.”

But speaking about the decision not to meet his youngest son when he returned to the UK in May, Hardman warned that if Charles “engaged in bilateral discussions” with Harry it could endanger his relationship with Harry . Prince Williamwho faces more pressing concerns following Princess Kate’s cancer diagnosis.

Any discussion of reconciliation would have to involve William, Hardman said, and now would not be the right time given the larger issue of his wife’s health problems.

He wrote: “If the king were to enter into bilateral discussions with his younger son, he could jeopardize his relationship with his eldest son, who last spring had his own more immediate and pressing personal concerns following his diagnosis of cancer. Princess of Wales.

“Any discussion involving the king should include Prince Williamand now was not the time. »
