King Charles is apparently hesitant to make up with his son Prince Harry—and not just because of the ongoing royal family drama.

According to a new report from The Telegraph, Charles fears that there could be legal ramifications if he tries to reestablish his relationship with Harry given his long-running legal case against the U.K. government to reinstate his police security in the country.

“Here you have the infelicitous situation where the King’s son is suing the King’s ministers in the King’s courts. That is pulling the King in three directions,” a senior constitutional expert and advisor to the royal family told biographer Robert Hardman. “You also have the situation where the King’s son publishes accounts of private conversations, some of which have been, shall we say, wrong.”

The source is likely referring to reports that Harry “misremembered” some of the private conversations between family members that were mentioned in his 2023 tell-all memoir Spare.

“So imagine the situation if the prince were to talk to his father about his court case and then later to describe that conversation—or, worse, a conversation which was not entirely accurate,” Hardman continued in the report. “There would be serious legal jeopardy. Harry would only have to say, ‘My father said this’ and a court case could collapse.”

While Harry and Charles’s relationship remains rocky partially due to his security-related lawsuits, the Duke of Sussex’s wife, Meghan Markle, is reportedly urging her husband to “let go” of his court cases for a different reason.

A former employee of the couple’s Archewell Foundation previously told People that Markle “supports Harry 100 percent, but she wishes he could let go of these lawsuits, be happy and live in the moment.” The ex-staffer added, “She wants him to be free of all of this, but she also knows that because of everything he’s been through and his love for [her and their children], he can’t. She wants him to live in a world where he is not burdened by this.”
