King Charles and his once ‘darling boy’ Prince Harry continue to remain estranged, despite the latter’s public plea to reconcile with his family. The Prince, in his BBC interview, admitted that his father does not answer his calls. Although wishing to reconcile, Harry also levied fresh allegations against his father in his interview, claiming the King was behind his UK security being stripped. Reflecting on the Duke's claims, a royal photographer has now revealed the exact moment when Harry allegedly had 'second thoughts' about his statements about his father.



 

Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive Show, renowned photographer Arthur Edward gave his two cents on the equation between the monarch and his son. Claiming that Harry is “probably just still feeding the chickens,” the photographer remarked, “I don't know what he does every day. He probably takes the kids to the park and stuff like that... he doesn't seem to be having a real role now.” Reflecting on Harry’s interview, where he expressed his desire to reconcile with his father and family, Edward opined, “He looked so sad in that, and so really down and not upbeat like he was normally.” The photographer believes the Prince was reconsidering his decision and asserted, “I feel somehow he's having probably second thoughts. Maybe this is not such a great idea.”

In a similar vein, another royal expert, Bronte Coy, echoed, “I thought the same. That was only a month ago... For better or worse, Meghan is forging ahead with her path. But seeing Harry look exactly as you say, looking so defeated.” Coy believed that the Duke seemed ‘quite stuck’ in the interview, reflecting on his statements. Chris Ship chimed in to argue that the interview was “exactly the thing not to do” if Harry actually wished to reunite with his father, as the royal family has always been firmly against sharing anything private. He stressed, "They're worried [talking to Harry] it will just end up in the public realm.”

Edward argued that if Harry had apologized to Charles, wishing to meet him, it may have had a different outcome. However, he argued that the Prince spoke from his heart. He said, “I thought he looked so sad, you know, so sad...Maybe because he'd just lost half a million, one and a half million quid, maybe that's what made him sad.”



 

In the interview, the Duke of Sussex expressed his devastation over losing his legal battle for state-funded security and claimed that he may now never be able to bring his family to visit the UK. Reflecting on his equation with his father and the royal family, he asserted, “There have been so many disagreements, differences between me and some of my family,” dubbing the security issue as the ‘sticking point.’ Harry revealed how he was aware of his family’s feelings and said, “Of course, some members of my family will never forgive me for writing the book, for lots of things.” Nevertheless, he wished to reconcile with them as he did not know how much longer his father had to live.
