King Charles III is reportedly frustrated by Prince Harry’s reaction to losing his security appeal — including a public claim the king “won’t speak” to him.
Prior to Harry’s bombshell BBC News interview on Friday, a friend of King Charles said it would have been “constitutionally improper” for the monarch to become involved in the appeal, which would have restored publicly funded security to the Duke of Sussex.
“What has frustrated and upset him on a more personal level is the Duke’s failure to respect this principle,” the insider told The Sun. “And for his supporters to suggest that somehow his father doesn’t care about his family, or should step in.”
“He’s been particularly concerned that it has taken considerable resources and cost for the Government to defend their position,” the insider added.
A palace spokesperson also defended the outcome of the appeal in a statement: “All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion.”
The king’s frustration comes after Harry, 40, sat down with the BBC for a surprise interview, in which he claimed “some members” of the royal family will “never forgive” him for a number of alleged offenses — among them, writing his 2023 memoir, “Spare.”
