King Charles 'extremely sad' over strained relationship with Prince Harry

King Charles III is reportedly 'extremely sad' about his strained relationship with his son, Prince Harry.

Author Robert Hardman revealed in his new book, 'Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story,' that the monarch wants to resolve the ongoing rift with the Duke of Sussex.

“A common perception is that the King and his staff spend much of their time worrying about what to do with the two difficult dukes, Harry and Andrew,” Robert wrote in his book, as per the Daily Mail.

He further penned, "In reality, however, the King has learned over many years of royal domestic trauma how to compartmentalize issues over which he has little control."

"'Of course the King is extremely sad about Harry and Meghan but there is a sense of exasperation, that he has done what he can and now he is King, there are many more things to think about,' says one friend. He has tried listening. Now he just says, I don't want to know what the problem is. I'm just getting on with my life,” the historian continued.

Robert also mentioned in his book that the doors of reconciliation will always be open for Prince Harry.

"Nothing is final, however. 'You'd always like your child back,' says a senior official. 'But when your child has decided that, at the moment, they want to do things differently, you have to give them the space to do that. The door is always open, though,” he added.
