PRINCE Charles has carried on with his royal duties as normal – just hours after Prince Harry blasted his parenting skills.
The Prince of Wales was out and about in Cardiff today after Harry claimed he moved Archie and Meghan to USA to “break the cycle” of pain from his own childhood.

Despite the bombshell claims, Charles appeared calm as he went about his first of three official engagements today.
The future king was given a tour of BCB International in Cardiff, Wales, this morning – a supplier of protective, medical and defence equipment.
He was seen chatting and smiling with staff, while greeting them with a Covid friendly namaste gesture.
It came just hours after Harry claimed he moved his son Archie and wife Meghan Meghan to the USA to “break the cycle” of pain from his own childhood.
The Duke, 36, claimed his dad, 72, “suffered” due to his upbringing by the Queen and Philip, then “treated me the way he was treated”.
He told host Dax Shephard on the Armchair Expert podcast yesterday: “I verbalise it, which is, ‘Isn’t life about breaking the cycle’?
“There’s no blame, I don’t think we should be pointing the finger or blaming anybody.
“But certainly when it comes to parenting, if I have experienced some form of pain or suffering because of the pain or suffering perhaps my father or my parents suffered, I’m gonna make sure that I break that cycle so that I don’t pass it on, basically.
“There is a lot of genetic pain and suffering that gets passed on anyway. As parents we should be doing the most that we can to say, ‘You know what, that happened to me, I’m gonna make sure that’s not going to happen to you’.”
Harry and Meghan are currently expecting their second child, while their eldest, Archie, turned two earlier this month.
Speaking about the parental differences between him and 72-year-old Charles, Harry said: “It’s really hard to do but for me it comes down to awareness.
“I never saw it, I never knew about it, then suddenly I started to piece it all together and go, ‘OK, so, this is where he went to school, this is what happened’.
“I know this bit about his life, I also know that’s connected to his parents, so that means that he is treating me the way that he was treated.
“Which means, ‘How can I change that for my own kids’? And well, here I am, I have now moved my whole family to the US.
“That wasn’t the plan, do you know what I mean? But sometimes you have got to make decisions and put your family first and your mental health first.”
