A royal commentator has explained the real reason King Charles has not spoken to his younger son, Prince Harry. According to GB News, commentator Robert Hardman explained that the silence is not based on personal differences but is due to legal issues.
King Charles is shunning Harry from communication because of the Duke of Sussex’s continued legal battle over security, Hardman says. “The reason the King doesn’t speak to Harry is because he can’t speak to him,” he said. “Harry is suing the King’s ministers in the King’s courts, and the King is what they call the ‘fountain of justice’, he’s the head of the judiciary.”
Hardman highlighted that any face-to-face talk between the son and the father on the security issue would be problematic. “If Harry spoke to him about his case, specifically regarding his security, it would be extremely problematic,” he said.
Highlighting the constitutional implications, Hardman said, “It’s what’s known as legal jeopardy. You’ve got the King’s son suing the Government.” He added that Harry’s pattern of sharing private exchanges in public forums through interviews, memoirs, and documentaries could also pose legal risks. “That could completely undermine the case.”
Even though Harry recently stated that he will no longer pursue the issue through the courts, his public remarks continue to raise eyebrows. Hardman pointed out, “At the same time, he’s talking about an ‘establishment stitch-up’ and is still lobbying the Home Secretary to get her on side. The King just can’t go anywhere near this. It’s toxic territory for a constitutional monarch who also serves as head of the judiciary. So, he can’t talk to his son.”
During a BBC interview, Prince Harry admitted that King Charles had not intervened in his court case. He said, “I’ve never asked him to intervene. I’ve asked him to step out. I step out of the way and let the experts do their job.”
Even as he tried to make amends with the royal family, Harry acknowledged, “The king won’t speak to me.” His comment came after a court case that he lost relating to police protection funded by taxpayers.
