Prince Charles invited the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to stay with him when they visit the UK
amid fears his son’s tell-all memoir will criticize the Duchess of Cornwall and also hoping to meet his granddaughter
Lilibet for the first time after she was born in California in June last year.
The offer, which would be the first time the family has come together
since Duke and Duchess of Sussex quit as working royals, was made amid their
ongoing security concerns ahead of the Queen’s Jubilee, according to
reports.
A source said: “Harry is fiercely loyal and protective of his late
mother and her legacy, and didn’t approve of Camilla sweeping in as the great
love of his father’s life. Understandably he found those early years incredibly
difficult, and he might publicly blame Camilla for much of what he believes
went wrong in his childhood, and the trauma the whole situation
caused.

“Charles is deeply protective of Camilla. The last thing he needs-especially
in a year of celebration that should be all about the Queen-is an excoriating
takedown of Camilla at a time when people have finally taken her to their
hearts.”
The Duke of Sussex, 37, who lives in Montecito, California, with his
wife Meghan Markle, 40, and their children were expected to come to the UK for
the Duke of Edinburgh’s memorial service in the spring and the Queen’s Jubilee
in the summer.
Last year royal expert and author Angela Levin, who wrote Harry:
Biography of a Prince, took to Twitter to write: ‘I’ve been told by a
well-informed source that Harry’s memoir will focus heavily on the death of his
mother Princess Diana, and who he blames.’
During his interview with Oprah Winfrey last year, Prince Harry said he
felt ‘very let down’ by his father Prince Charles, accusing him of refusing to
take his calls and then ‘cutting him off’ financially when he and his wife
emigrated.
Another source said: “The Prince of Wales has been saddened that he
hasn’t had the opportunity to spend time with his grandchildren, which he
really does miss. He is a fantastic grandfather and loves playing the role
immensely and it’s certainly fair to say he feels there is something missing
from his life without the ability to get to know Harry’s children.

“This is something he is hoping to remedy which is why he made the
gesture for Harry, Meghan and the children to stay with him if they wanted to,
whenever they may come home for a period of time.”
This ongoing call from Prince Charles comes as Prince Harry prepares to
release his $20million tell-all memoir.
Last year Publisher Random House released a statement saying: “Prince
Harry will share, for the very first time, the definitive account of the
experiences, adventures, losses, and life lessons that have helped shape him.
“Covering his lifetime in the public eye, from childhood to the present
day, Prince Harry will offer an honest and captivating personal portrait, one
that shows readers that behind everything they think they know lies an
inspiring, courageous and uplifting human story.”
In a statement, Prince Harry also said: “I’m writing this not as the
prince I was born but as the man, I have become. I’ve worn many hats over the
years, both literally and figuratively, and my hope is that in telling my story
– the highs and lows, the mistakes, the lessons learned – I can help show that
no matter where we come from, we have more in common than we think.

“I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to share what I’ve learned over
the course of my life so far and excited for people to read a firsthand account
of my life that’s accurate and wholly truthful.”
Asked about his relationship with Prince Charles, Harry said they were
now speaking again, adding: “There’s a lot to work through there, you know? I
feel really let down because he’s been through something similar. He knows
what pain feels like, and Archie’s his grandson. I will always love him, but
there’s a lot of hurts that’s happened. And I will continue to make it one of my
priorities to try and heal that relationship.”
When asked if he remains close to Prince William he replied: “I
love William to bits. He’s my brother. We’ve been through hell together. I
mean, we have a shared experience. But we’re on different paths.”
