That didn't work out either. Prince Charles simply stopped taking Harry's calls after his son swore at him and repeatedly asked for funds. Harry insisted that his decision to marry Meghan set him apart from his family because it was 'from his heart' and not because she 'would fit the mould'. In Our King: Charles III, The Man and the Monarch Revealed, Robert Jobson – himself a Royal expert of longstanding expertise – catalogues some of the untruths, fabrications and straightforward drivel hawked about in the past about the King, the Queen, his late wife, and various other members of the House of Mountbatten-Windsor. Part of Jobson’s expertise is that he knows how unreliable much royal reporting is. Conscious of this, perhaps, he takes every opportunity to set out his credentials to write a book about our King in which (its subtitle says) the man and the monarch are “revealed”.

The change was most marked between father and son. Prince Harry was 'infuriated' when King Charles told him he could not keep paying for Meghan Markle, a bombshell new book serialised in the Daily Mail reveals. Perhaps unsurprisingly, there was no meaningful conversation when Harry saw his brother and father again at Prince Philip's funeral in April 2021. Nor was there any attempt at a rapprochement when Harry joined his brother for the unveiling of a statue of their mother at Kensington Palace on July 1, 2021. However, the Queen did meet Harry and Meghan at Windsor Castle when they made a stopover in April 2022, en route to The Hague for the Invictus Games. She'd agreed to see her grandson on the proviso that he met and talked with his father, too.

As it stands, his Clarence House staff have been merged with the veritable army of the late Queen's household – which, according to insiders, he and the Queen Consort have noted is 'top-heavy'.

As he later explained in the Netflix docu-series he made with Meghan, 'as far as a lot of the family were concerned, everything that she was being put through, they had been put through as well'

Members of the bride and groom's entourage also noted that the prince had become 'petulant and short-tempered' — raising his voice on occasion to staff and even swearing. Harry, for his part, was now convinced that William didn't approve of his choice of bride. Whether this was the case or not, the once close bond between the siblings was fraying badly.
