‘Harry is hopeless’: King Charles can’t trust Prince Harry as he is ‘quite like his mother’

Prince Harry has thrown his own family under the bus on numerous occasions. So it’s not exactly surprising to learn that the royal family is “blackballing” the wayward prince.

According to an article from Page Six, King Charles and the rest of the royal family no longer trust Harry or his wife, Meghan, anymore. Sources in the know seem to think that the familial bond that once existed between Harry, his father, brother, and extended family has pretty much evaporated.

“I genuinely think nobody trusts him and that’s the bottom line. The royal family has major trust issues with him and that’s what’s at the heart of everything… They don’t trust him and Meghan and that’s why they can’t have a relationship”

After more than five years of drama between the Sussexes and the rest of the royals it’s easy to see where they’re coming from. Recently, Harry spoke of reconciliation with his father, although there are doubts over how genuine this was. It’s possible Harry and Charles could talk again in the future, things won’t be the same, there may be “room to forgive, but they won’t forget.”

Harry is too much like his mother

Royal author and friend of the family, Hugo Vickers claimed that, “Harry is quite like this mother,” referring of course to Princess Diana. “One day, when I was at Buckingham Palace, I was shown the letter that Prince Phillip wrote to Diana in which he said, ‘Every time Charles talks to you, it’s in the Daily Mail the next day.”

What Vickers is saying is that, just like his mother, Harry seems all too happy to defy royal protocol in talking to the press, even when he perhaps shouldn’t.  

“Charles is, of course, right not to trust him. Harry is hopeless in that respect. He shouldn’t have given that interview — but none of the royal family should ever give interviews, it’s always a car crash.”

This all comes after the prince lost his court appeal to restore his security in the U.K. Harry was apparently under the impression that his father would be able to do something to overturn the decision, even messaging King Charles but apparently receiving no response. The prince then sat down with the BBC and said a lot of things he probably shouldn’t have.

It seems Harry just can’t help himself sometimes. This is not the first time he’s publicly aired out drama with his family for all to see. Typical royal protocol would usually prevent such interviews from happening but as Harry is detached from his family now he seems willing to make noise and draw attention to all that drama rather than take the usual royal approach.

Of course, this only serves to further damage the trust between him and the rest of his family. If they know Harry could broadcast royal secrets for attention like he has done before then it’s going to be difficult to rebuild a relationship.
