Relationship expert Louella Alderson, speaking to The Mirror, emphasized the potential shock for Prince Harry discovering King Charles's surgery through the news rather than a personal call or message from his family. Alderson expressed that it would be "understandable" for Harry to feel "hurt and disappointed" in such a situation.
Explaining the possible reasons for the lack of direct communication, Louella suggested trust issues between Prince Harry and the royal family as a factor. She speculated that King Charles might have opted for a public announcement to preempt any speculation or rumors, aiming to safeguard his privacy and control the narrative surrounding his health.
Louella further hinted at a strained father-son relationship, noting that if Prince Charles perceives a lack of trust in sharing personal information with Prince Harry, it reflects a deeper issue in their familial connection.
Despite the current discord, Louella acknowledged the potential for reconciliation, especially during times of stress and ill health. She suggested that the strain between the father-son duo might ease, stating, "The significant disconnect between them doesn’t appear to be improving at the moment. However, times of stress and ill health can bring families closer together, and Prince Harry might find he wants to reach out to his father at a time like this."
