According to top royal experts, King Charles was deeply "heartbroken" by a statement released by Harry's team, suggesting the King was too busy for a meetup during Harry's brief visit. This statement was perceived as a direct insult to Charles, particularly as he battles through cancer treatments. Ingrid Seward aptly described it as "hurtful and unnecessary," further exacerbating Charles' wounded paternal pride.
For many royal watchers, this was the final straw. Charles has tirelessly attempted to mend fences with Harry, offering accommodations and extending olive branches, only to be met with rejection and public criticism. This latest incident has shattered any remaining hope of reconciliation. Charles simply cannot endure any more abuse from his estranged son, who seems intent on tearing down the monarchy.
From now on, expect no more attempts at reconciliation. The rift between Windsor and Chill-Chill Cali is irreparable. Harry may lament being "iced out," but it's no surprise that pragmatic King Charles has chosen to preserve his dignity and distance himself from further turmoil.
