King Charles and Prince Harry find themselves in a challenging situation as the Duke of Sussex continues his legal battles in the UK.
Prince Harry has made it clear that he will only return to the UK with his wife, Meghan, and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, once he secures what he deems as adequate protection.
Sources told *The Sunday Times* that King Charles is increasingly frustrated with his estranged son’s ongoing legal fight, which the King views as a misunderstanding on Harry’s part.
“King Charles is frustrated by Harry’s legal battle to secure round-the-clock protection in the UK,” the sources said.
The King reportedly sees the security dispute between Harry and the Home Office, part of his government, as “very tricky.”
An insider explained that Harry’s belief that his father controls security matters is actually mistaken. “His Majesty’s son is suing His Majesty’s government, which puts the King in a difficult position,” they noted. “There’s concern that if they were to meet, Harry might pressure his father, mistakenly believing the King has control over his security.”
The source added, “It’s frustrating that Harry hasn’t accepted the judgment of His Majesty’s government and the courts.”
Furthermore, the King is steering clear of intervening in the legal matters, as doing so would be “wholly inappropriate,” especially given the cost to taxpayers, which has already reached at least £500,000.
It remains uncertain whether Prince Harry’s legal struggle over security will reach a resolution this time.
