Prince Charles reportedly ‘deeply hurt’ by Prince Harry’s Oprah interview

Prince Charles is determined to “mend the broken relationship” with son Prince Harry — even though he remains “deeply hurt” by his damning TV tell-all, according to a report.

The 72-year-old heir to the throne suffered some of the harshest attacks during the interview — and reportedly initially wanted to rebut his son and daughter-in-law’s allegations point by point.

But, “after much reflection, he also realizes that nothing good will come of prolonging the fight,” one of Charles’ friends told the Mail on Sunday.

“He feels it is time to heal. Now is the time to mend a broken relationship,” the friend reportedly said.

“His mood is that of a father, not that of a statesman,” the friend told the outlet.

During the interview with Oprah Winfrey, Harry said he was “hurt” and felt “let down” by his dad, admitting it would take a lot of work to heal the relationship.

Still, Charles plans to “be in touch” in the coming weeks, “possibly in writing, possibly over a video call,” the source told the UK paper.

“The Prince has a real desire to get back to the close relationship that he enjoyed with Harry for the longest time,” the friend said.

Charles’ wife, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, is comforting him, the source said. “She can see how upset her husband is. She just wants it fixed,” said the friend.
