Prince Harry may have put his fragile reconciliation with his father King Charles III at pitfall by giving an interview after their meeting in London last week telling The Guardian he has no regrets about sharing royal secrets or criticizing family members in his memoir Spare according to a royal expert It was a series of corrections to stories already out there Harry notified The Guardian during an interview which took place during his surprise visit to war-torn Ukraine on Friday following four days in London One point of view had been put out and it needed to be corrected I don t believe that I aired my dirty laundry in masses the California-based Duke of Sussex continued It was a tough message but I did it in the best way workable My conscience is clear He also mentioned that his wife Meghan Markle assured him he could do no wrong by telling the truth She announced just stick to the truth ' Harry announced It is the thing I invariably fall back on Unfailingly FILE Britain s

Jane Barlow Pool photo via AP File While Harry may insist that his conscience is clear his uncompromising view that he s usually in the right both about speaking out against his family and his version of family conflicts may sound warning sirens about whether reconciliation is workable in the long-term Newsweek s royal correspondent Jack Royston wrote In a attainable sign that the royal establishment remains wary about Harry s intentions his family didn t wish him a happy st birthday on his social media accounts Monday the Daily Mail shared From Harry s comments to The Guardian it also appears that he may be unwilling to take accountability for his part in the breakdown of his relationship with his father or with his brother Prince William and his sister-in-law Kate Middleton according to Royston His memoir Spare included specific pretty incendiary contends about his family which reportedly caused a huge amount of hurt and anger especially because William Kate and the other royal family are barred by royal custom from publicly responding to criticism Harry s declares include his description of William having a nasty temper and allegedly attacking Harry and pushing a false narrative about Meghan bullying palace staff In Spare Harry also alleged that Kate made Meghan cry in the days before their wedding and portrayed Charles wife Queen Camilla as dangerous because her crew supposedly leaked negative stories about him and Meghan to the British tabloids And as much as Harry has publicly decried leaks to the media he and Meghan have reportedly done plenty of leaking themselves throughout the years of family strife and estrangement before and after they left royal duties in and moved to the United States For example it s doable that someone close to Harry went to a friendly U S publication to share a scant private details about his emotional and tearful Sept meeting with the king after nearly two years of estrangement If Harry or his squad leaked such details they would be in violation of a informed promise he made to his father An insider had communicated the Daily Mail that Harry assured his father he wouldn t give any interviews about the meeting and his company would not brief journalists on what he and his father talked about But over the weekend an insider who appears to be speaking on behalf of Harry talked to Us Weekly about the meeting saying it was full of hugs and tears They shared a long hug when they first saw each other the insider notified Us Weekly Harry started crying and it was very emotional for both of them They really missed each other Selected royal experts have portrayed Us Weekly as being friendly to Harry and Meghan as Royston published in Its editor in chief Dan Wakeford was instrumental in publishing a couple lengthy stories that were flattering to Meghan including a story in which Meghan s U S staff denied a Hollywood Reporter story that announced that her alleged staff-bullying tendencies followed her to America For Us Weekly s story about Harry s meeting with Charles at Clarence House the king s London residence an insider described the outlet that the meeting was prompted by a handwritten letter Harry wrote t that his focus in the coming year has to be on my dad Harry described the BBC during a May interview that he was eager for a reconciliation saying his father had stopped taking his phone calls because of his court fight against the U K governing body over losing the level of taxpayer-funded police prevention he desired to have while he and his family visit the U K He and Meghan lost a high level of automatic police measure when they stepped down as senior members of the royal family In May Harry lost a court appeal to have the protection reinstated Life is precious
