Does Prince Charles feel "abandoned" by his son Harry and his wife Meghan? He is said to be "enormously disappointed".
The racism allegations against the royal family that Prince Harry (36) and wife Duchess Meghan (39) made in an interview with US talker Oprah Winfrey (67) earlier this month, Harry's father Prince Charles (72) is said to have "enormous disappointed". The British heir to the throne is said to have felt "abandoned". A source close to the royal family entrusted this to the US magazine "People".
During the interview, the Duchess of Sussex had stated that there would be "concerns and discussions" about "how dark Archie's skin might be" when he was born. Although she did not specify who made the comment, Oprah later made it clear, citing Prince Harry, that it was not his grandparents, Queen Elizabeth II (94) and Prince Philip (99).
But Prince Charles does not want to attach the racism accusation. "The prince believes in diversity and his actions show that," the source continues. “He was the first person to highlight the Windrush generation (the first mass immigration from the Caribbean to Britain in the 1950s) and the contributions they made to British society. He was very committed to the Muslim community of all members of the royal family, he took this issue most seriously. "
"A Complicated Relationship"
A palace source also added that Prince Harry and his older brother Prince William, 38, have always had a "complicated relationship" with their father. "It's not a simple father-son relationship. He is your father and your boss, and you have an obligation to him to finance your offices and your lives."
Prince Harry had also said during the Oprah interview that his father stopped taking his calls at some point after the couple decided to step down as senior royals. "I really feel let down from going through something similar. He knows what the pain is like," Harry said. "And Archie is his grandson." Of course he will always love his father, but there are a lot of insults that have happened.
Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan have been living in the USA with their son Archie (1) for a year. Prior to the move, they had resigned from their offices and duties as high-ranking members of the royal family.
