Another strained relationship<\/a> in the royal family. Prince Harry<\/strong><\/a> has kept details about his father, Prince Charles<\/strong><\/a>, relatively to himself through the years, but after his and wife Meghan Markle<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s exit<\/a> in 2020, the Duke of Sussex got real about tension with his dad.<\/p>\n

Over the years, Harry publicly applauded Charles for his parenting skills \u2014 from the way he stepped up after the death of his mother, Princess Diana<\/a>, in August 1997 to his willingness to walk Meghan down the aisle at their May 2018 wedding<\/a>. However, things shifted between the father-son duo when the couple announced in January 2020 that they were stepping back from their roles as senior members of the royal family.<\/p>\n

A source told Us Weekly<\/em> at the time that the Prince of Wales was \u201clivid\u201d<\/a> with his youngest son and blamed the former actress for the decision to distance themselves from the monarchy.<\/p>\n

The pair completed their royal duties in March 2020 and relocated to her native California<\/a> with their son, Archie<\/a>. They kept mum about their departure for more than a year before sitting down for a CBS tell-all interview<\/a> in March 2021. While Charles did nothing but laugh when asked about Harry\u2019s bombshell claims<\/a>, including that his father stopped talking to him<\/a> after he and Meghan shared their plans to step down, Harry\u2019s willingness to go on the record only further fractured their relationship.<\/p>\n

\u201cCharles does not agree with Harry trashing his whole family<\/a> in public,\u201d an insider revealed in March 2021. \u201cCharles thinks these matters could have easily been addressed in private.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Charles and his mother, Queen Elizabeth II<\/a>, \u201chad very different plans for how to respond\u201d to the allegations<\/a>, with the prince wanting \u201cto rebuke every claim made by Meghan and Harry,\u201d according to a source. The monarch ultimately preferred to \u201ctake a more modest approach.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harry and Charles reunited in April 2021 for Prince Philip<\/a>\u2019s funeral<\/a>, but they did not reconnect in a meaningful way. \u201cUnfortunately, Harry and Charles didn\u2019t resolve their differences when Harry returned to the U.K. They barely communicated,\u201d an insider told Us<\/em> at the time. \u201cThere definitely continues to be a huge wedge between the two.\u201d<\/p>\n

The source added that Charles was \u201cstill fuming\u201d over the tell-all and \u201cfreezing Harry out,\u201d<\/a> while Harry had not \u201cforgiven his father for his lack of effort and support after he and Meghan decided to move.\u201d Another insider revealed in May 2021 that Charles \u201cmay never forgive Harry.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Harry made headlines later that month for criticizing Charles\u2019 parenting<\/a> more than once. \u201cCharles is boiling with anger and feels tortured by Harry<\/a> with his constant digs. He wishes he\u2019d just let it drop,\u201d a source told Us<\/em>. \u201cThe general consensus within the royal family is to ignore Harry\u2019s behavior, to avoid fanning the flames, but Charles is finding it hard to hold back. He really wants to defend himself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charles assumed the British throne in September 2022 following his mother\u2019s death at age 96<\/a> \u2014 and he gave his youngest son a small shout-out during his first address<\/a> as monarch. \u201cI want also to express my love for Harry and Meghan, as they continue to build their lives overseas,\u201d he told viewers in the U.K. and its Commonwealth territories.<\/p>\n
