Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, is once again making headlines, and this time it's about his financial ties with his father, King Charles III. As the Duke approaches his 39th birthday, reports suggest that he has been consistently reaching out to the King, not just for reconciliations or apologies, but also for financial support.
Royal expert Angela Levin shed light on the situation, stating, "He's been nagging him for three years now. He rings up to demand apologies. He rings up to ask for more money. He just rings up to make his life a misery." This revelation paints a picture of a strained father-son relationship, further complicated by financial entanglements.
King Charles III, who ascended to the throne following Queen Elizabeth II's passing, has had minimal interactions with Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, during his first year as monarch. The Queen had previously advised Harry that if he chose not to be a working royal, he couldn't maintain a half-in, half-out stance. Reflecting on this, Levin commented, "It is so phony because if he treats his own family so poorly, you can't believe that he knows what a real family is all about."
The King's first year on the throne was marked by gun salutes on September 8, commemorating both his ascension and the passing of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. As he moves forward, there are plans for a documentary about his reign. Interestingly, both the BBC and ITV are in discussions to air the program, but a palace insider revealed a strict ban on any mention of Meghan and Harry. The source stated, "As far as the palace is concerned, those two are not part of the narrative going forward - they've already caused enough trouble to last a lifetime."
King Charles III's reign, expected to last his lifetime, is now fully underway after the one-year transition period. Sources suggest that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex may not play a significant role in the King's vision for the monarchy's future, even though he has expressed that he "wishes them well."
Meanwhile, the Sussexes have been in the spotlight at the 2023 Invictus Games in Dusseldorf, Germany. Meghan, who faced criticism for her late arrival at the event, explained her tardiness, citing family responsibilities. "I had to spend a little more time getting our little ones settled at home and get them to drop off," she shared with event organizers.
As the royal family navigates its new dynamics under King Charles III's reign, the relationship between Prince Harry and the monarchy remains a topic of global interest, with many awaiting the next chapter in this ongoing saga.
