The 75-year-old King apparently conveyed a message to his estranged son Harry by withholding information about the Princess of Wales's cancer diagnosis. Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams explained to The Sun that this decision reflects a lack of trust in the Sussexes, stemming from the numerous challenges they've posed for the Royal Family over the past four years.
According to Fitzwilliams, "The reason, of course, is that for some four years, they’ve caused endless problems for the Royal Family and so they can’t be trusted." He also mentioned that Meghan and Harry had received grave warnings not to misuse any information they were given in advance.
"Meghan and Harry are no longer kept in the primary loop – they're informed (or not) on a case-by-case basis before public announcements," Fitzwilliams added. The sentiment within the family and among Kensington Palace officials is that Meghan and Harry require careful handling due to their perceived lack of trustworthiness.
Prince Harry's public statements and disclosures have strained his relationship with the family further. He has spoken about private conversations in his Netflix show and during interviews. Despite Charles and William's ongoing love for Harry, there's a prevailing feeling that they can't confide in him fully, fearing that their private discussions might be revealed in future interviews.
