JOURNEY BACK: Prince Harry believes King Charles will forgive him everything if he just returns

The strained relationship between Prince Harry and the rest of the royal family continues to show no signs of improvement, despite the Duke of Sussex’s apparent belief that time would heal all wounds. According to royal insiders, Harry assumed that his actions—including the release of his tell-all memoir Spare and the explosive Oprah interview—would eventually be forgiven, leading to a reconciliation with his father, King Charles III. However, this anticipated resolution remains elusive.

Royal author Tom Quinn, known for his book Scandals of the Royal Palaces: An Intimate Memoir of Royals Behaving Badly, has shed light on Harry’s expectations. “Despite all his criticisms, Harry always assumed he would be forgiven by his father,” Quinn revealed in an interview with The Mirror. “He thought Charles would make amends for the hurt that—in Harry’s view—justified the criticisms.”

While King Charles has maintained a public silence on the matter, avoiding any retaliatory statements against his son, sources suggest that the situation behind closed doors is far more tense. The relationship between father and son remains fraught, with Charles reportedly refusing to take Harry’s calls.
