“I do think Harry loves his father. Just quite recently he spoke about his father and quoted his father saying, ‘darling boy.’ That’s what Charles has always called Harry. And he did that quite publicly on the radio, just a few years ago. So I think there is a great love between them that Charles is doing everything he can to maintain,” the royal expert said.

The royal expert also claimed that King Charles is being very careful in his response to Prince Harry’s memoir, saying, “I think he’s taking the higher ground here, and the dignified route. [He’s] just rising above it and letting Harry know, I think, that the door is still open. But I think if this book has Camilla in its sights, Charles’ loyalties will be severely conflicted.”

Although, royal commentator Simon Heffer said that Prince Harry’s behavior is a “betrayal” of King Charles.
“I think what we can objectively say is no member of the royal family, certainly no one born into the royal family, has ever behaved as indiscreetly and as offensively towards the family as Prince Harry has,” Simon Heffer said, adding, “In the modern age and the media age, no one has behaved like this. And his conduct is pretty reprehensible.”

“If any of us has a fight with a member of our family and decides to conduct this in public, and decides to release family secrets in public, and then expects that member of the family who is being humiliated and vilified to come back and say, ‘Let’s be friends,’ then that’s a very naïve way of looking at it,” the royal commentator added.
