King Charles Was Allegedly "Terrified" of Prince Harry and Always "Preferred" Prince William

King Charles, Prince William, and Prince Harry attend the Grenfell Tower National Memorial Service on December 14, 2017.

Prince Harry is sadly not on good terms with his father, King Charles, or brother Prince William. For instance, earlier this year, a royal expert suggested Harry and Charles' relationship was "terminally damaged" for a plethora of reasons. Now, a royal author has noted that the Duke of Sussex was perhaps always at a disadvantage with his father.

Royal author Tom Quinn, who wrote Scandals of the Royal Palaces: An Intimate Memoir of Royals Behaving Badly, told the Mirror, "Harry's real beef is that he is convinced Charles always preferred William anyway and not just because William is the heir." Quinn continued, "Harry’s difficulties when he was a teenager and his increasing volatility as an adult terrified Charles who turned to the far more stable, risk-free William."
