After severing ties with the royal family, Prince Harry returned to England to face a deliberate distance from his family. Allegedly, during Harry's time in the country, his family made various plans to stay outside of England. It is reported that King Charles did not want to communicate directly with his son and conducted communication through his advisors.
After severing ties with the royal family, Prince Harry's visit to England, which aimed to break the ice, did not bring the expected rapprochement. Harry, who came to London due to a legal process, faced a deliberate distance from his family this time as well.
According to claims, during the days Harry was in the country, his brother Prince William and Kate Middleton turned their route to Scotland, while King Charles preferred to go abroad with a different program. Palace circles are discussing that these "non-coinciding" plans are not a coincidence.
According to backstage information, King Charles does not want to make direct contact with his son and conducts communication entirely through his advisors. The main reason behind this is the distrust towards Harry. Sources close to the palace indicate that concerns about Prince Harry potentially making private conversations public due to the book he wrote in the past, the sensational interviews he gave, and the lawsuits he filed weigh heavily.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle moved to the USA in 2020 after stepping back from their official duties in the royal family, and this decision was referred to as "Megxit." Following this separation, Harry openly shared the issues he faced with the royal family; in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, he accused his family of racism, insensitivity, and psychological pressure. These statements further damaged relations with Buckingham Palace.
Another step that escalated the tension was the book titled Spare, written by Prince Harry, which caused a significant stir. The inclusion of details about King Charles, Prince William, and private moments within the palace deepened the trust crisis. Harry's claim of having a physical altercation with his brother Prince William and disclosing family conversations led to a complete breakdown of relations.
PRINCE HARRY'S VISITS TO ENGLAND WERE MARKED BY DISTANT CONTACTS
After all this process, Prince Harry's visits to England were limited and marked by distant contacts. In royal circles, it was frequently mentioned that especially King Charles avoided private meetings with Harry and was concerned about the potential public disclosure of any conversations. The "non-coinciding" schedules during the last visit were also interpreted as a sign that this disconnect continued.
