King Charles is reportedly worried that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s success will overshadow him.
Insiders have recently told Woman magazine that King Charles fears that history will repeat itself, when Princess Diana’s departure from royal life led to her becoming a global icon.
Harry and Meghan, who stepped down from their royal roles in 2020, have been making headlines with their international tours.
“The Palace is mindful of what happened when Princess Diana left royal life and instantly eclipsed the institution. They claim the King is fearful of a repeat of the past, with Harry and Meghan overshadowing his work and becoming global superstars,” says the insider.
Despite the tension, Harry remains focused on his philanthropic efforts. However, a financial dispute over security costs related to their trips has reportedly strained Harry’s relationship with the King.
The insider noted that this strain has led to King Charles ignoring Harry’s calls, saying, “He [Harry] gets ‘unavailable right now’ and his calls go unanswered.”
