King Charles 'frustrated and upset' over Prince Harry's attack on royal family after losing security bid
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM: King Charles has been left “frustrated” by Prince Harry’s reaction to losing a legal battle for public-funded security protection in the UK.
The Duke of Sussex gave an explosive interview to the BBC after his loss, where he expressed his disappointment not only at the judgment but also at the royal family. He, however, showed his desire to reconcile with them.
King Charles is 'frustrated and upset' with Prince Harry
But a friend of King Charles has revealed that the monarch’s “upset” that Prince Harry failed to understand that it would have been “constitutionally improper” for him to intervene in the case, and that the lawsuit placed an unnecessary burden on taxpayers.
They said, as per The Sun, “What has frustrated and upset him on a more personal level is the Duke’s failure to respect this principle.”
“And for his supporters to suggest that somehow his father doesn’t care about his family, or should step in. He’s been particularly concerned that it has taken considerable resources and cost for the Government to defend their position,” the source added.
Prince Harry says he does not know ‘how much longer my father has’
In the BBC interview, Prince Harry said that he was "devastated" after the judgment on Friday, May 2.
The father of two also noted that he “can't see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point.”
“There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family. This current situation that has been ongoing for five years with regards to human life and safety is the sticking point; it is the only thing that's left,” he stated.
But Harry also mentioned that he “would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point in continuing to fight anymore, as I said life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has, he won't speak to me because of this security stuff but it would be nice to reconcile.”
Buckingham Palace slams Prince Harry over BBC interview
During the same interview, Prince Harry also appeared to blame his father as he said, “There is a lot of control and ability in my father's hand, ultimately this whole thing could be resolved through him not necessarily by intervening but by stepping aside allowing the experts to do what is necessary and to carry out an RMB.”
Rebuking Harry's remarks, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson said, “All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion.”
