Prince Harry’s efforts to rebuild his relationship with King Charles III seem to have stalled once again.
After Harry recently spoke about the ongoing tension with his father, a royal expert suggested that the King’s silence isn’t accidental—it’s part of a long-standing royal approach.
Following Harry’s legal defeat over his UK security arrangements on May 2, he mentioned that King Charles still hasn’t responded to any of his outreach. According to royal expert Christopher Andersen, there’s a reason behind the King’s continued silence.
“It really does look like Charles is taking the ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ axiom to a whole other level, doesn’t it?” said Andersen. He added, “The King is only hewing to a long-standing royal practice of not dignifying something by commenting on it. The Palace does not want to give oxygen to Harry’s remarks.”
Andersen said that King Charles III is juggling many personal and public duties, and getting into a public argument with his son wouldn’t do him any good. Meanwhile, Harry has taken a very different path — something that was clear in his attention-grabbing BBC News interview.
The royal expert believes Harry chose to speak out because the palace has remained silent behind the scenes. “It must be terribly frustrating for him not to even be able to get through to his father on the phone. There’s a real Catch 22 here: As long as the Palace ignores Harry in the vain hope that he’ll go away, it puts him in the position of having to amp up the volume of his public comments,” he speculated.
Even though there’s still tension, Harry has said he wants to make peace with the royal family. He pointed out that keeping the conflict going doesn’t help anyone. He also mentioned King Charles’ fight with cancer, saying no one knows how much time his father has left.
Andersen thinks Harry might truly want to fix things, but says the way he’s going about it isn’t helping. He said, “If Harry really wants to reconcile with his family, he has an odd way of showing it.”
Andersen also noted that while Harry has talked about wanting to reconnect, he’s also accused the palace of getting involved in his legal issues. Harry, now 40, has questioned how much the family really cares about the safety of Meghan and their kids. He even said he can’t imagine bringing Meghan, Archie, and Lilibet back to the UK right now.
