The British monarchy is still standing because of its continuity and adaptability, and for King Charles to turn his back on his younger son, Prince Harry, he’s turning his back on the foundation of the institution, says one royal expert.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Express US, Ian Pelham Turner shared his thoughts on the pending reconciliation between Harry and Charles, which may happen as early as next week.
We asked Mr. Pelham Turner, a former royal photographer, if Charles could have a relationship with both of his sons, William, 43, and Harry, 40, even if they don’t get along, with the royal expert saying: “He has to.”
Pelham Turner spent time at the Palace as a royal photographer and crossed paths with both Princess Diana and the then-Prince Charles, which gives him good insight into royal life.
During a Zoom call, he said: “Charles has had a great deal of experience, as well, and he’s had the Queen to guide him, most of the time, continuity of monarchy is the most important thing of the lot.”

According to Pelham Turner, the more people try to vilify Harry and Meghan,they are actually just making Harry and Meghan more relevant.
He explained: “In reality, the biggest mistake that anyone from the British side is trying to do to vilify Harry and Meghan, the big mistake is that all it does in Britain is remind people of Harry and Meghan.”

The thing that bugs Pelham Turner the most is that there’s a lot of chatter about Harry and Meghan, but it’s not necessarily substantiated, as the sources go unidentified.
Pelham Turner is not one to mince words, he says it how it is, and is not afraid to put it on the record, and he’s asking the same of his peers, who provide royal commentary.
During our chat, he argued his case: “It’s just logic. If they laid off Harry and Meghan, there’s a lot of books coming out knocking Harry and Meghan again, and what the Queen said, and all this stuff, and what I always say to all of these authors is ‘name your sources.’”
He added: “If this is the case, then name your sources, it’s always used as ‘someone close to the Royal Family,’ name your sources.”
Pelham Turner went one step further complimenting American media.
He said: “I love the way American media works, you have a much greater depth in naming your sources, I know you protect them at times, I think you have a much more fundamental, cleaner method of journalism.”
