Prince Harry is reportedly being “diplomatic” because he doesn’t want another feud with his father, King Charles, over his royal status. Harry is back in the UK with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. While the royal couple navigates life in Britain once again, the latest letter issued by Charles, stating that they are “private citizens,” has reportedly left them disappointed.
Prince Harry is ‘staying diplomatic through gritted teeth’ amid tension with King Charles, per source
Prince Harry has reportedly decided to stay “diplomatic through gritted teeth” amid tension with King Charles. After living in California for nearly six years, the Sussexes decided to move back to the UK for an extended stay.
Harry has recently stated that he wants to reconcile with his family. Now that they are back, tensions have reportedly risen again over the clash surrounding their royal status.
Recently, the monarch issued a letter clarifying the position of Harry and Meghan Markle. The letter clearly stated that they are “private citizens” and cannot use HRH. The letter allegedly left Harry and Markle disappointed, as they preferred to be labeled as “public figures.” They were also unhappy that they received the letter shortly before it was made public.
A source told Radar Online, “The issue for Harry isn’t that he expects to return as a working royal – he knows the position on that. The irritation is that something directly affecting him and Meghan was released with so little opportunity for discussion. They felt they were being presented with a decision rather than being included in a conversation.”
Harry wants things to go well, especially now that his family has returned to the UK. The last thing he wants is another “public war with his father,” the source claimed. However, he is frustrated about how the matter was handled.
According to the source, even though they are not full-time working royals, they would have preferred to be referred to as “public figures.” Despite the clash, sources say that their priority is to establish their family in Britain.
