King Charles is said to be “absolutely devastated” by his fallout with Prince Harry, a royal expert has claimed.
The monarch is understood to be heartbroken by how his relationship with the Duke of Sussex, 38, has changed since he married Meghan Markle.
Harry was offered an olive branch by the royal family after the Queen’s death and was invited on a walkabout at Windsor with Prince William and Princess Kate as the two couples thanked well-wishers who had queued to pay their respects.
Harry was also permitted to wear military uniform as the Queen’s grandchildren stood vigil at the late monarch’s lying-in-state inside Westminster Hall, although not at the funeral procession itself.
Katie Nicholl, author of The New Royals: Queen Elizabeth’s Legacy and the Future of the Crown, told Fox News Digital that King Charles has been left dejected by his relationship with Harry.
“He is hopeful that there will be a reconciliation. I think we saw that in the very public olive branches that were extended to Harry and Meghan,” said Vanity Fair’s royal editor Katie.
“Charles absolutely has been devastated by what has happened. If you think back just a couple of years around the time of the wedding, the relationship between Harry and his father was, I think, probably better than it ever had been.”
