Prince Harry is reportedly feeling “let down” amidst the ongoing royal feud, with an expert claiming there is now an “intensified bitterness”.

In 2020, the Duke of Sussex stepped back from his senior role within the Royal Family. He and his wife, Meghan Markle, subsequently relocated from Windsor, England to California in the United States.

Since their move, the Sussexes appear to have distanced themselves further from the monarchy. The couple, now based in Montecito, frequently engage in projects where they share their experiences of Royal life.

Notably, they sat down for an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, released a docuseries in 2022, and Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare, was published in 2023.

Earlier this month, Prince Harry flew to the UK from the US to attend a service at St Paul’s Cathedral in London. Prior to his arrival, there were rumours that he might meet with his father, who he hadn’t seen since the King’s cancer diagnosis was announced in February.

However, according to a statement from Harry’s office, Charles was otherwise occupied, resulting in no meeting between father and son during the Duke’s brief return to his former home country.

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams has claied that Prince Harry “feels let down” amidst the ongoing “bitterness” among the Royal family members. Speaking to The Mirror, he disclosed: “It has come down to a father, suffering from cancer, unable or unwilling to see his son, who is on a three-day visit despite being in close proximity in the same city.”

“His son claims he wanted to see him. Both sides have briefed against each other as to why, security may be involved too.”

Fitzwilliams also commented on the strained relationship between Princes Harry and William, saying: “Although we are not privy to private contact, there reportedly has been almost none between the brothers and the glare of publicity in the royal goldfish bowl has been ferocious.”

“This has undoubtedly intensified the bitterness.”

Concluding his insights, Fitzwilliams remarked: “Harry feels let down by the security arrangements, which he has unsuccessfully fought to change and also accuses the Royal Family of colluding with the press to their detriment.”
