King Charles Ignores Prince Harry's Calls About Security Battle, Expert Reveals
The relationship between King Charles and Prince Harry is tense, and one main issue seems to be causing King Charles to ignore his son’s calls. According to a royal expert, Charles reacts harshly whenever Harry calls to talk about his ongoing battle to get security for his family in the UK.
Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down from their roles as working royals in 2020 and moved to the United States. Since then, their relationship with the Royal Family has been strained. Royal expert Emily Andrews claims that the issue of security is the biggest point of conflict between Prince Harry and the rest of the family.
Recently, Harry continued his fight with the Home Office for taxpayer-funded security, even after losing an initial appeal. A new two-day hearing is set for April, marking another chapter in Harry's three-year battle with the UK government. Harry is determined to win this fight, as he wishes to visit the UK more frequently. However, this determination is said to be adding more tension between him and King Charles.
Emily Andrews, writing for Woman magazine, explains that King Charles has grown tired of Harry’s repeated attempts to discuss the security issue. She says, “When courtiers bring the phone to the King, he waves them away in irritation. It's not because they’ve had another falling out, but because Harry keeps trying to discuss his fight for security.” According to sources close to Harry, the King no longer even responds to his letters or calls, with aides often saying Charles is 'unavailable.'
Harry recently made a secret trip to the UK for his uncle's memorial service, but he has no plans to return permanently as long as his security concerns remain unresolved. He is due to celebrate his 40th birthday on September 15.
A comment from a reader reflects a common opinion: "Harry is acting like a child. He wants what he wants and thinks if he keeps asking, they'll give in. He doesn’t understand he is no longer entitled to state-funded security. He's only upset because it costs him a fortune to pay for his own security."
