King Charles pleads with Prince Harry to stop spilling royal secrets

King Charles has reportedly urged Prince Harry to cease revealing private details about the royal family, claims a royal expert. 

According to the Mirror, since stepping down from royal duties in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have openly discussed their experiences within the royal family, most notably in their 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, their 2022 Netflix docu-series, and Prince Harry's 2023 autobiography. These revelations have seemingly intensified the ongoing rift within the family. 

Royal author Tom Quinn explained to the Mirror, "Harry has been asked directly by his father not to write or say publicly anything further about the family or his brother that might cause trouble. And everyone knows that when a king asks you to do something there are going to be consequences if you do not obey."

Quinn continued, "Over the years that Harry has complained about his treatment by his family he has had just one aim – to get an apology and to see his father and brother make amends. Harry just can’t see that complaining in private might work; complaining publicly just makes things worse and in Harry’s case that means more and more ties to his past being severed."

Prince Harry's relationship with his father and brother has been notably strained, beginning in 2020 when he and Meghan moved to the US. Harry's public comments have included allegations of racism within the royal family and recounting a physical altercation with Prince William. These revelations have reportedly angered the royal family, further souring their already tense relationship.
