The relationship that Prince Harry shares with his dad and brother changed for the worse after he released his memoir, “Spare.” The US-based royal made some uncomfortable claims about the British Royal family, including King Charles, Queen Camilla, and Prince William.
Well, Harry mentioned that before the memoir, he had tried for years to mend fences with his family. But it just never worked out. Now, let’s learn about this one-tense showdown between Harry and his brother and dad, which he describes in his memoir.
Prince Harry: Inside the Secret Meeting That Ended in a Fight
In his memoir, Prince Harry doesn’t hold back talking about fractured relationships with his family. Adding to the tensions, he recalls arranging a private meeting with King Charles and Prince William at Frogmore Cottage.
It took place around their grandfather Prince Philip’s funeral. The Duke mentions that Charles and Will made him wait up and then arrived looking all unhappy. Additionally, the Duke of Sussex explains how he tried to keep his “emotions in check” while sharing his perspective.
However, his father and brother did not pay attention to his point of view, and the conversation quickly went south. “I’d vowed not to let this encounter devolve into another argument. But I quickly discovered that it wasn’t up to me.” Furthermore, Prince Harry described that Charles and William had their roles and they’d “come ready for a fight.” The Invictus Games founder continued that every time he tried to explain something new, one or both of them would interrupt.
Keeping the sibling rivalry alive, Prince Harry highlighted that William “didn’t want to hear anything” and interrupted him several times. This whole situation led to a heated argument between the two. The argument escalated until the British Monarch intervened with a heartfelt plea. Harry wrote, “It got so heated that Pa raised his hands. Enough! He stood between us, looking up at our flushed faces.” Their father urged, “Please, boys—don’t make my final years a misery.”
Since then, the siblings haven’t seen each other in years. Their last meeting was in February when King Charles III was diagnosed with cancer. Prince Harry was hopeful to see his father during a recent short trip to the UK for the Invictus Games. However, it didn’t work out because of Charles’ busy schedule. Harry’s spokesperson stated, “It, unfortunately, will not be possible due to His Majesty’s full programme.”
Moreover, they mentioned that the Duke understands his father’s diary of commitments and other priorities and hopes to see him soon.” It looks like the chances of a reunion will remain down in the dumps for now.
