The relationship between Prince Harry and his family should not be the best. Can praising words from Prince Charles smooth things over?
Prince Harry (37) did not save criticism of his famous family last year. Nevertheless, Prince Charles (73) found words of praise for his son who emigrated to the USA. The heir to the throne paid tribute to Harry for his fight against climate change in a post for “Newsweek” publicly respect.
Charles is proud of both sons
On Newsweek, Charles wrote on climate change, among other things: “As a father, I am proud that my sons have recognized this threat. Recently, my older son William created the prestigious Earthshot Prize to encourage and contribute to change.” to help the healing of our planet (…). “
Charles goes on to say, “And my younger son Harry has been passionate about exposing the effects of climate change, particularly on Africa, and committing his charity to be carbon neutral.” In November, Prince Harry and his wife Duchess Meghan (40) promised that their charitable foundation Archewell would be climate neutral by 2030.
The Queen says nothing to Harry
British media are now speculating whether Charles’ words could be an offer of peace to Prince Harry. And the attempt to smooth things over. Previously, the head of the family Queen Elizabeth II (95) had omitted Harry’s contribution to environmental protection, while she praised Charles, her late husband Prince Philip (1921-2021) and Prince William (39). In a message to the UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow in November, the Queen was delighted about the pioneering role that the three family members have taken on environmental protection and said: “I couldn’t be more proud of them.”
In her Christmas address, she also highlighted William, his wife Duchess Kate (39) and Charles and his wife Duchess Camilla (74). There were no warm words from the Queen for Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan.
Prince Harry’s allegations
Now Prince Charles could ease the alleged family crisis. Among other things, Prince Harry’s interview with talk legend Oprah Winfrey (67), which ran on US TV in March 2021, caused the discrepancies. Harry had accused his father of denying him financial support in the meantime. His father is also said to have partially ignored calls, claimed Harry.
In May 2021, the Duke of Sussex followed up on the “Armchair Expert” podcast. Prince Harry had declared there that he had gone to the USA to break the cycle of “pain and suffering” in his family. In terms of upbringing, he has experienced the pain that his father has probably already experienced.
In the US for two years
Prince Harry married US actress Meghan Markle in May 2018. Their son Archie Mountbatten-Windsor was born a year later. The family has not worked for the British Royals since the beginning of 2020 and lives in the USA, currently in Montecito, California, where daughter Lilibeth was born in June 2021.
