Another week, another chapter in the long-running saga of the troubles between British King Charles and his Prodigal son, Prince Harry.
When Harry and his ‘American actress wife’ Meghan decided to stop being ‘working Royals’, they lost a ton of privileges in the old island of Albion.
So, it’s hardly surprising that King Charles is showing no interest in helping his son Prince Harry’s in his ongoing fight to again be awarded taxpayer-funded security protection.
London’s High Court issued its ruling stripping the Duke and Duchess of Sussex of their protection back in February.
Since then, Harry has been trying to win it back — with ZERO help from his family.
Royal author Ingrid Seward says the monarch will lend his youngest son a helping hand in this legal battle.
New York Post reported:
“’The king is in a position where the security and who gets the security is decided by the government, and the government is not the monarch’, Seward told Fox News. ‘When Charles was Prince Charles, he could do more, but as monarch, he has to be very careful. He cannot get involved with government policy. Therefore, probably the easiest way out is to let somebody else deal with Harry’.
‘I am sure that somebody talks to Harry, it just may not be his father’, she added. ‘And in a way, that’s probably because his father just doesn’t want to get involved. He hasn’t got time; he hasn’t got the inclination, and he probably hasn’t got the energy for what would be a potentially difficult conversation’.”
The report mentions that the King is reluctant to even speak to the Duke of Sussex.
Charles fears there could be ‘serious legal jeopardy’ because of the ongoing legal case.
“’Here you have the infelicitous situation where the king’s son is suing the king’s ministers in the king’s courts’, a senior constitutional expert and advisor to the royal family told biographer Robert Hardman […]. ‘That is pulling the king in three directions’.
‘You also have the situation where the king’s son publishes accounts of private conversations, some of which have been, shall we say, wrong’, they added, referring to the Times of London’s report that Harry ‘misremembered’ several conversations involving the royals, which he aired out in his bombshell 2023 memoir, ‘Spare’.”
Hardman heard from her sources that the king worries Harry will say that Charles had privately offered him assurance on the matter.
“’So imagine the situation if the prince were to talk to his father about his court case and then later to describe that conversation — or, worse, a conversation which was not entirely accurate’, added [biographer] Hardman. ‘There would be serious legal jeopardy. Harry would only have to say ‘My father said this’ and a court case could collapse’.”
Back in February, High Court judge Sir Peter Lane ruled that there was ‘no unlawfulness’ in stripping Harry and Meghan of their security. Harry is appealing the decision.
