A source claims Prince Harry is facing mounting pressure to distance himself from Charles Spencer following the release of his controversial memoir. According to the insider, cutting ties with his uncle could potentially help improve his strained relationship with King Charles. However, Harry reportedly has no desire to walk away from his close bond with his uncle, especially given that his family has supported him when he needed them.
Prince Harry is said to face pressure to distance himself from Princess Diana’s brother amid the royal rift
An insider told the National Examiner that Prince Harry is under pressure to distance himself from Charles Spencer as tensions between the Spencer family and the royal household continue over Spencer’s memoir about Princess Diana. According to the source, “It’s really the only thing that will make King Charles III and the Windsors happy.”
However, the insider explained why taking such a step could be particularly difficult for Harry, adding, “Harry understands their position, but he simply can’t imagine turning his back on his uncle, not after the way [he] and the whole Spencer clan have stood by him.” The source suggested that Harry distancing himself from Spencer could help ease tensions with the royal family, but the Duke reportedly remains unwilling to sever their relationship.
The insider further claimed, “He was actually making progress, but now that’s all come grinding to a halt. The king, and every one of his advisors, is now questioning how trustworthy he can be if he’s so openly aligned with a man that’s trying to sabotage the monarchy.”
They also pointed to the difficulty of Harry’s position, noting that although he has maintained that he is caught in the middle and is not taking sides, the source argued that such neutrality is difficult to maintain. “His uncle is going after the king with a vengeance,” they continued.
The claims come after Charles Spencer made several controversial claims about the monarch in “Swan Song: Diana, My Sister.” Spencer also recently addressed how he would handle an encounter with King Charles amid their ongoing tensions. He said, “The Brits [are] very good at sort of catching each other’s eyes and operating in other parts of the room.”
