Royal rift deepens: Harry's trust issues fracture family ties

Is the British royal family becoming increasingly divided? Foreign media reports suggest that after Prince Harry's latest interview, his relatives have decided to distance themselves from the Sussexes completely.

Last week, Prince Harry unexpectedly gave an interview to the BBC in which, according to an expert, he disclosed too much about his father. The husband of Meghan Markle stated on air that he is concerned about King Charles III's health, speculating that he "doesn't know how much time he has left." An author of books about the royal family is astounded that such remarks came from William’s brother and has rebuked him.

Harry is quite like this mother [the late 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’. The same thing is happening now. Charles is, of course, right not to trust him. Harry is hopeless in that respect. He shouldn’t have given that interview, none of the royal family should ever give interviews, it’s always a car crash - commented Hugo Vickers for Page Six.

The royal family wants to completely distance themselves from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

As reported by the portal mentioned, the interview, during which the prince once again chose to air family grievances in public and complained about the challenges of being a royal family member in exile, resulted in an adversarial mood at Buckingham Palace. According to a Page Six source, Harry's relatives no longer trust him.

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… maybe there's room to forgive, but they won't forget. Forgiveness and trust are two different things - revealed the informant.
