It appeared from earlier this year that Prince Harry and King Charles were healing their bond. Insiders now allege, though, that the two are no longer on speaking terms; Charles avoids Harry's calls. Harry wants to mend but has one long-standing source of conflict: a requirement.

Sources claim that Prince Harry is ready to lay down his "swords" should his family and he have enough protection. Although some sources say Harry's public interviews and memoir have caused his family to lose trust, others close to him contend he wouldn't have to disclose family problems for money if he had security.

Reaching back to his father would make Harry happy, according to a buddy. "At the end of the day, you can't undo bloodlines," the friend observed. "He is not begging his dad for better automobiles or a house. He is at risk hence he is asking.

Harry has been pushing for protection for years; he even brought the matter before courts. He was denied taxpayer-funded protection earlier this year and his offer to pay for it himself was likewise turned down. Harry expected his father to step in, but People claims Charles has responded with "complete silence".

Feeling they had no other alternative, Harry and Meghan Markle abandoned their roles as working royals in 2020. One friend of the couple remarked, "The only choice was to leave—for their sanity. They reasoned that their attention would be reduced if they broke out of the bubble."

Apparently, Charles's strategy "did not include" their leaving. With Harry eclipsing the family much as his mother, Princess Diana, did, the king now worries history repeating itself. "Charles's fear is a repeat of the past," a source stated. "When Diana broke off from the institution, she grabbed the headlines, eclipsed his output, and became a worldwide sensation."
