A year. This is the time that Prince Harry will have taken to return to British soil to say hello to his grandmother. Since his appearance at Prince Philip’s funeral in April 2021 and some small talk with his sister-in-law Kate Middleton, the Duke of Sussex had not set foot in the United Kingdom. Passing through the Netherlands for the Invictus Games which he organizes each year, Prince Harry made a detour to London to try to calm his relations with the rest of the clan. Harry no longer speaks to his brother William, or very little. His ties with their father, the Prince Charlesare almost at the same point.
The presence of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle being rare in Windsor, Elizabeth II jumped at the chance to reconcile father and son and organize a meeting between Harry and Prince Charles. According to DailyMailtheir interview did not exceed 15 minutes and began this Thursday, April 14 around 10 a.m. before Charles, joined by Camilla a little later, took the road for the mass given at the Saint George chapel.
Communication remains very difficult:He loves his son, he is heartbroken by everything that happened. He is afraid that the situation he experienced with Princess Diana will be repeated with Prince Harry. He wants to leave the door open to any discussion, which he did not do with Diana and which he still regrets today“, says a close friend of the Duke of Cornwall.
The gap was already deep after the Megxit but the interview that Harry and Meghan Markle gave to Oprah Winfrey only made it stronger. During the interview, Archie and Lilibet’s parents accused members of the Crown of racism and leaving the ex-actress on her own and in disarray despite her pleas for help. Remarks remained across the throat of some, including prince Charles and prince William. The memoirs of the Duke of Sussex, published by the end of the year, already promise to be charged. Failing to become that of the United Kingdom one day, Harry is on the way to inheriting the status of king of scandal.
