Prince Harry’s relationship with Charles and William still ‘very, very raw’ and there’s ‘lots of distrust in the camp’

PRINCE Harry’s relationship with his father and brother is still “very, very raw” and there is “lots of distrust in the camp”, according to a report.

The Duke of Sussex is said to have written Prince Charles a “deeply personal” note before arriving back in the UK ahead of his grandfather’s funeral.

Prince Harry’s relationship with his brother is said to be “very, very raw”

Sources have said he wrote his father Prince Charles a “deeply personal” letter before he flew back to the UK last week

However, they have not repaired their broken relationship as Harry prepares to fly back to the US to be with pregnant wife Meghan Markle, reports the Mirror.

A source told the Mirror: “Harry didn’t expect everything to be completely back to normal but his feeling after seeing his family was there is a lot of ground to make up.

“Whether that is harder or easier to do on the other side of the world remains to be seen.

“There is a lot of distrust in the camp and everything is still very, very raw.”

The newspaper reports Harry, 36, reached out to his father after their relationship “hit rock bottom” when he quit the Royal Family last year.

‘VERY, VERY RAW’

But it seems the Prince of Wales is still “very hurt” by his son’s decision to give a bombshell interview with US chat-show host Oprah Winfrey earlier this year.

Sources added that Harry has been forced to write letters to Prince Charles following a complete communication breakdown.

During the Oprah interview, Harry said Charles and William were both “trapped” by the institution.

Sources added that both of the future kinds were “outraged” by this comment.

A royal source added: “Harry wrote a deeply personal note to his dad to try and set things straight but tensions are still running high and things haven’t exactly ironed out the way he had hoped.

“There had been a kind of unspoken agreement between everyone to park whatever has been on each person’s mind, and solely concentrate on supporting the Queen ahead of Prince Philip’s funeral.

“The feeling inside the camp was that it wasn’t the time nor the place to go over things, especially at such an emotional time for everybody involved.”

It comes as the royals had clear-the-air talks with Harry at Frogmore Cottage in the aftermath of the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral.

Harry hosted father Charles, brother William and sister-in-law Kate, away from prying eyes and ears.

CLEAR THE HEIR

They chatted for about two hours on Saturday at the Windsor home where Harry lived with wife Meghan, 39, until they quit the UK.

An insider said that Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank, who now live at Frogmore, “made themselves scarce as Harry, William, Kate and Charles hammered things out”.

They added: “Harry obviously felt outnumbered as there are three of them and only one of him so wanted it to be on his home turf.

“There is no way this is the end of the crisis in their relationships but it’s a good gesture and a nice way to take the first step towards healing.

“William, Kate and Charles all left after about two hours, which was long enough for the process of getting father and brothers talking again to start.”

Relations have been strained since Megxit and Harry and Meghan’s bombshell US TV interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Warring siblings William and Harry were reunited in front of the cameras as they chatted while walking back from Prince Philip’s funeral service.

They mingled with other senior royals, including Charles, on Windsor Castle’s Quadrangle after TV cameras were switched off.

Then William, 38, Kate, 39, and Charles, 72, joined Harry at the Grade-II listed cottage on the Windsor estate.
