In the aftermath of Prince Harry’s recent bombshell interview, royal expert Rebecca English has suggested that King Charles is grappling with deep emotional turmoil over the ongoing rift with his son.
The Duke of Sussex, in his interview with the BBC, expressed the considerable challenges he faces in ensuring the safety of Meghan and their children in the UK. Harry also conveyed a desire for reconciliation with the Royal Family, acknowledging the limited time he has left with his father, King Charles. However, reports indicate that Charles has refrained from engaging in dialogue with Harry, particularly regarding security matters.
Amidst his personal struggles, King Charles bravely shared his daunting and frightening experience with cancer at a Buckingham Palace reception. According to Rebecca English, the king’s limited time spent with his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, has been a significant source of personal sadness. She emphasized that despite any imperfections, King Charles holds an enduring love for his son.
