The ongoing feud between Prince Harry and his father, King Charles, and
older brother, Prince William, has been marked by strained relationships since
Harry and Meghan Markle's move to the US in 2020. Reconciliation seems distant,
with only a few reunions occurring.
Harry recounted an incident in his published work 'Spare,' where he claimed a
heated argument ensued with William after sharing his feelings, leading
Charles to intervene with a plea for harmony.
During a gathering after Prince Philip's funeral, Harry described the tension, stating, "Please, boys - don't make my final years a misery."
In a moment of desperation, Charles used a three-word secret code, the
universal password used between the brothers during extreme crises, saying,
"on mummy’s life." This phrase, reserved for times requiring urgent belief and
understanding, failed to bridge the gap, as Harry admitted, "It stopped me
cold, as it was meant to. Not because he’d used it, but because it didn’t
work. I simply didn’t believe him."
The use of this cherished code reflects the depth of familial struggles, highlighting the challenges in healing the rift. Sources suggest that Charles is not prioritizing reconciliation with Harry, particularly after the controversial claims made in Harry's autobiography, which reportedly left Charles and Camilla feeling 'furious' and 'wearied.'
