Prince Harry's Friend Believes He Wants to Return to Sandringham But It Might Be Too Late For That
During the Australia tour, the Duke expressed his desire to become a better parent than his father.
Ever since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex left the royal family to start a new life in the US, their relationships with family members from King Charles III to Prince William, have been a subject of speculation. Over the last few weeks, there have been talks of a possible royal reunion, with reports suggesting that Prince Harry may meet his dad, King Charles, during his upcoming visit to the UK in July this year. The trip is reportedly being planned to attend some of the important commitments leading up to the Invictus Games. However, despite a lot of chatter, an insider is now claiming that Charles has reportedly closed the door on a potential reunion at Sandringham, especially after Harry’s recent remarks during his and Meghan Markle's recent trip to Australia.
On the third day of their trip, Harry spoke at the InterEdge Summit in Melbourne, where he opened up about how he dealt with the grief of losing his mother at a very young age. As reported by The Mirror, he said, “After my mum died just before my 13th birthday, I was like I don’t want this job. I don’t want this role – wherever this is headed, I don’t like it." He further added, “It killed my mum, and I was very much against it, and I stuck my head in the sand for years and years. Eventually, I realized – well, hang on, if there was somebody else in this position, how would they be making the most of this platform and this ability and the resources that come with it to make a difference in the world?"
Not just this, the Duke also expressed his desire to become a better parent than his father, and boldly claimed that it was therapy that helped him move on from his past sorrows. On the other hand, Meghan also opened up about being constantly 'bullied and attacked' by people for about a decade. This statement came up when the couple sat for a discussion with young people associated with the Australian mental health organization Batyr at Melbourne’s Swinburne University of Technology.
As reported by Sky News, these remarks are said to have been poorly received by the members of the royal family, with a source clearly stating, "Charles won't invite them. Especially not after their trip to Australia." The person added, "They (Harry and Meghan) never would have pulled this stunt if the Queen were alive, but they can now? Harry and Meghan will come. But it won't be at the King's invitation." Another source has claimed that Harry's stance on security concerns has been seen as an 'emotional blackmail' tool by many.
They said, "It's emotional blackmail. 'Do this, and maybe you can see your grandchildren.'" Such remarks might also make Prince William and Kate Middleton furious. Meanwhile, just days ago, one of Harry's friends said, "Harry would like an invite to Sandringham. Would he go? It would depend on who was there. If the King was to say, 'Come up and spend some time with the family', he'd love that." Responding to this, one of Charles's friends stated that if the Duke of Sussex truly wanted to meet his father, he would have discussed such matters privately.
