King Charles Not Answering Prince Harry’s Calls Goes Beyond Wanting Security

After news broke that King Charles isn’t taking calls from Prince Harry and that the “royal rift” happening between Harry and his brother, William, isn’t getting any better, royal insiders are saying that the royal family is doing the only thing it can by ignoring the Duke of Sussex. Author Tom Quinn told The Mirror that because of royal decorum, that signature stiff upper lip, and wanting to keep things from getting even worse, King Charles’s lack of public comments is the only thing that he can do as a father and a monarch.

“Despite Harry’s attacks on the royal family his father has avoided responding by attacking his son publicly, but privately, King Charles is furious. So much so that he is now refusing to take calls from his son.”

During a recent interview with ITV, Harry explained that all he wants is a security detail for his family if and when they visit the U.K.

“All it takes is for one lone actor who reads this stuff to act on what they’ve read. And whether it’s a knife or acid, these are things that are genuine concerns for me. It’s one of the reasons why I won’t bring my wife back to this country,” he said of the dangers that could come his way when he’s in the United Kingdom.

Apparently, security is too much to ask for and it’s what’s keeping him from having everything with his family go back to the heyday of the Big 4 and all those happy smiling photos of the Cambridges and Sussexes together on the Buckingham Palace balcony.
