Prince William has clarified that his stance differs from his father, King Charles III, regarding relations with Prince Harry and his family. He does not share his father's inclination to forgive and reunite with Harry, Meghan Markle and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
King Charles, who is 75 years old and battling cancer, has chosen to prioritize family despite the pain caused by Harry and Meghan's revelations.
Both he and Queen Camilla have endured significant distress from the couple's accusations. However, the King holds onto a flicker of hope for a family reunion, valuing the bonds of family above past grievances.
Prince William, however, maintains a different perspective. He believes that Harry and Meghan's actions have severely damaged his reputation and deeply hurt Kate Middleton.
"While the King hankers for the day when he can see his Sussex grandchildren without the rancor that seems permanently to surround relations with his California-based son, William has, as a friend says, 'turned the page' on that chapter of his life," a source told The Daily Mail.
Royal family turmoil
The couple's accusations have included allegations that involved Princess Kate in a racial controversy about Prince Archie before his birth.
Furthermore, in his memoir "Spare" and various interviews, Prince Harry accused William of potentially failing his younger children, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, by allowing them to fall into the same "spare" role he experienced. This situation has led William to request that Harry and Meghan keep their distance, choosing to protect his immediate family from further turmoil.
