King Charles, who is battling cancer, is reportedly being urged to exclude Prince Harry from his will in order to prevent his rebellious son from inheriting a portion of the royal fortune, RadarOnline.com has learned.
“A lot of people in royal circles feel Harry does not deserve a dime, and they’re leaning on Charles to cut him off,” a high-level palace insider revealed.
Although the exact nature of King Charles’ illness hasn’t been disclosed, sources suggest the 76-year-old monarch’s time may be limited due to a severe case of pancreatic cancer.
“Charles wrote his will long ago, but certain family members and courtiers are strongly urging him to update the document so as not to include Harry,” the insider said.
Among those pushing for the update is his older brother, Prince William, who, according to palace sources, is encouraging his father to name him as the successor before his health deteriorates too much for him to continue ruling.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the redheaded rebel, 40, has been on the outs with his relatives since 2020, when he and his fame-loving American wife, Duchess Meghan Markle, ditched their palace duties to chase Hollywood dollars and make California their home.
The Duke of Sussex further stoked the flames of the family feud when he skewered his relatives in his 2023 memoir, Spare and his biracial bride, suggesting some royals were racists for questioning the potential skin color of the couple’s then-unborn son!
While a rep for the palace blasts our report as false, the source pointed out: “There’s still so much animosity towards Harry. It runs deep. It’s the senior courtiers that run the royal family’s business and make the hard decisions. But they’re not getting much resistance to this idea among the family.”
If the plan to disinherit the royal rebel moves forward, a source warns that it could “likely be the final nail in the coffin for any kind of reconciliation.”
Although Harry has recently made attempts to mend his relationship with his father, Charles refused to meet him during his last visit to the UK. It’s been suggested that the chilly Queen Camilla, Harry’s stepmother, is behind the decision to distance him.
“She’s made it her mission to protect Charles from any sort of stress, and in her view that’s all Harry brings. It’s now at a point where she’s saying Charles shouldn’t even be taking Harry’s calls, that it would be bad for his stress levels and general anxiety,” a source revealed.
Earlier in the previous year, reports indicated that both the monarch and his son, Prince William, Harry’s older brother, blocked a plan to strip the duke and his wife, the former Suits actress, of their royal titles due to concerns over potential public outrage.
According to a source close to the palace, resentment over the Sussexes’ perceived sense of entitlement is still lingering—and it could soon escalate.
“The royals are nowhere near forgiving them and feel there should be some sort of punishment meted out, which is why this idea of cutting him out of the will has got real legs,” the insider revealed.
When Harry celebrated his 40th birthday on September 15, he received $10 million from a trust fund set up long ago by his late great-grandmother.
“William was not happy about Harry getting that money and even more upset about Meghan getting her hands on it,” the source shared.
