As the festive season approaches, the prospect of a warm family reunion between Prince Harry and the royal family seems increasingly unlikely.
The rift that has developed over the years between Harry and the monarchy remains profound, with little indication that reconciliation is on the horizon.
While Harry and Meghan have openly aired their grievances through various media outlets, including Netflix and Harry’s memoir, a pressing question arises: what will become of Harry’s share of the royal family’s vast wealth?
Recent insider reports suggest that King Charles is seriously considering the option of excluding Harry from his will entirely.
Trusted advisors within the royal circle are reportedly urging the king to take this drastic step, arguing that it may be time to sever financial ties with his son.
The relationship between father and son has already suffered significant strain, and completely disinheriting Harry could mark a definitive end to their connection.
The prevailing mood among the royals appears to be one of anger and resentment towards Harry.
Many family members are reluctant to forgive him for the damage he has caused to the institution, a sentiment that is hardly surprising given Harry’s relentless public criticism.
He has previously claimed that his family had cut him off financially, although he later acknowledged that his father had indeed provided him with a substantial amount of money.
This inconsistency has only fueled further resentment, particularly in light of Harry’s portrayal of his financial struggles during his interview with Oprah, where he downplayed his significant inheritance from Princess Diana.
Both Harry and his brother, Prince William, received considerable inheritances from their late mother—each around £20 million, along with additional funds from the Queen Mother.
However, in the wake of Harry’s decision to step back from royal duties and the ongoing scrutiny of his public life, many insiders believe it is time for King Charles to reassess what his son should inherit.
Reports indicate that cutting Harry off completely would send a powerful message, underscoring that as a non-working royal, he should not benefit financially from the family any longer.
In an unexpected twist earlier this year, Harry was reportedly blindsided when he discovered that Charles had evicted him and Meghan from Frogmore Cottage, just one day after the release of his memoir, “Spare.”
This action was interpreted as a significant rebuke, especially following Harry’s earlier expressions of love and gratitude towards his father.
Compounding the tension, Harry has lost the title of His Royal Highness, although he still retains the titles of Duke and Prince.
The discontent surrounding Harry is not confined solely to King Charles; Queen Camilla and Prince William are also said to be unhappy with his actions.
However, it appears that the courtiers—whom Harry has disparagingly referred to as the “Men in Grey”—are the ones truly shaping the narrative.
These royal advisors reportedly share a unified stance against granting Harry any inheritance, reflecting a deep-seated mistrust of him.
Sources suggest that King Charles has even been advised to avoid answering Harry’s calls, as there is concern that any conversation could be weaponized against him.
Despite this prevailing hostility, Harry is said to hold onto hope for a future reconciliation with his father.
Recently, he purchased a luxurious property in Portugal, which he plans to use as a family retreat.
Perhaps he believes that investing in upscale real estate might help mend fences with his father.
