The continually fractured relationship between King Charles and his younger son, Prince Harry (and, by association, Meghan Markle), looked to be on more solid footing around the time of the King’s Coronation on May 6. But then, puzzlingly, Harry and Meghan were not invited to this year’s Trooping the Colour on June 17—the annual birthday parade for the monarch, and Charles’ first in the role. So what’s going on with the relationship? (As best we know, anyway.)
According to Us Weekly, the King “loves his son,” but relations with the Sussexes remain strained. Charles’ “trust has been compromised since the publication of Spare,” a source said, referring to Harry’s memoir released this past January. “There’s no doubt he wishes to avoid Harry and Meghan until he sees some positive change on their end,” the insider said. No word what that “positive change” entails, exactly.
