The royal family has major trust issues with him and that\u2019s what\u2019s at the heart of everything,\u201d a close source said. \u201cThey don\u2019t trust him and Meghan and that\u2019s why they can\u2019t have a relationship \u2026 maybe there\u2019s room to forgive, but they won\u2019t forget.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cForgiveness and trust are two different things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harry is being ghosted by his family as none of them trust him or his wife, Meghan Markle, sources told Page Six. His recent BBC interview (above) did nothing to help matters.

One day, when I was at Buckingham Palace, I was shown the letter that Prince Phillip wrote to Diana in which he said, \u2018Every time Charles talks to you, it\u2019s in the Daily Mail the next day.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe same thing is happening now,\u201d Vickers added. \u201cCharles is, of course, right not to trust him. Harry is hopeless in that respect. He shouldn\u2019t have given that interview \u2014 but none of the royal family should ever give interviews, it\u2019s always a car crash.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have total sympathy with the royal family,\u201d said Hugo Vickers, author and friend of the royal family, over the Harry sitaution. On Monday, King Charles Queen Camilla, Prince William, Prince George, Prince Louis, Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte gathered at Buckingham Palace at honor V-E Day.

He wanted to talk to his dad about security stuff then, but his dad wouldn\u2019t speak to him,\u201d the close source detailed. \u201cHe really felt like his dad could overturn things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Duke of Sussex, 40, <a href=\"https:\/\/pagesix.com\/2025\/05\/03\/royal-family\/prince-harry-unloads-shocking-truths-after-losing-security-appeal-taking-aim-at-king-charles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lost a Court of Appeal challenge <\/a>against the British government on Friday, over the decision to strip him of his publicly funded security detail.<\/p>\n<p>Harry has argued that his private protection team in the US no longer has access to the UK intelligence information needed to keep Meghan Markle, 43, and their children \u2014\u00a0Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Liilibet, 3 \u2014\u00a0safe.

Meghan Markle\/Instagram<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was disgraceful to talk about Charles\u2019s health, if he\u2019s not talking to him, how does he know anything about it?\u201d Vickers said.<\/p>\n<p>The interview came after Harry\u2019s bombshell 2023 book and 2021 tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey, as well as him speaking out about the royal family on the Netflix show, \u201cHarry &amp; Meghan.\u201d The choice to talk about the family over and over is why Harry\u2019s relatives are ghosting him, according to the source.<\/p>\n<p>One of the last times Harry was seen with his father and brother was at the premiere of Sir David Attenborough\u2019s film \u201cOur Planet\u201d in April 2019. Samir Hussein\/WireImage<\/p>\n<p>Buckingham Palace will not comment on the Harry situation.<\/p>\n<p>Vickers noted that it was particularly bad to give an interview in the same week that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DJFXCjFMKsu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the king entertained cancer sufferers and survivors<\/a> at Buckingham Palace and spoke out about how he felt about his illness, putting a positive spin on things.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHarry wrote in \u2018Spare\u2019 how the king told him, \u2018Don\u2019t make my last years miserable\u2019 \u2014 and yet he\u2019s done exactly that,\u201d said Vickers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEnough with the \u2018me, me, me\u2019 complaints. The king has got enough on his plate. He\u2019s got the problems of the world on his shoulders and doesn\u2019t need a whiny son.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harry flew back to the US straight after his dad\u2019s coronation in May 2023, Page Six revealed.<\/p>\n<p>The source also mused that Harry \u2014 who has not seen his dad since<a href=\"https:\/\/pagesix.com\/2024\/02\/07\/royal-family\/prince-harry-eager-to-repair-relationship-with-king-charles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> a quick trip to the UK<\/a> after the monarch announced his cancer diagnosis in February 2024 \u2014 could even use the security decision as a reason not to bring his wife and kids back for any future royal funeral.<\/p>\n<p>Vickers added that, \u201cHarry should be begging his father for forgiveness \u2026 and it should be done quietly, not on TV. But he won\u2019t.
