A new book claims that King Charles is deeply concerned about Prince Harry's financial situation.
The 75-year-old monarch and his advisers are increasingly worried that his younger son might exhaust the millions of dollars accumulated through business dealings with companies like Netflix and Spotify. This revelation comes from "Katherine the Princess of Wales," a biography of Kate Middleton written by Robert Jobson. According to a Buckingham Palace source cited in the book, the primary concern for His Majesty and his team is the potential fallout when all the money runs out.
Jobson reports that since the public has grown weary of Harry and Meghan's constant complaints, the couple is desperately trying to find new income streams that do not involve airing the royal family's dirty laundry. This effort is seen as an attempt to save face after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down from their royal duties, which, according to the author, left the royal family severely understaffed and lacking in prominent figures. Despite these challenges, Prince William has reportedly decided that he will not extend any help to the Sussexes in the future. The book suggests that a true reconciliation between the brothers is highly unlikely, although King Charles maintains an open-door policy for Harry.
Jobson points out that the last time Prince Harry met with King Charles was during a brief visit to the UK in February, following news of his father's cancer diagnosis. Interestingly, the book also notes Prince Andrew's unexpected appearances at royal events, such as the royal family's Christmas service in late 2022 and his role presiding over the mass at King Constantine of Greece's memorial service in February 2023, alongside his ex-wife. These appearances have prompted questions about the public's sudden warm reception of the Duke of York, who had previously been barred from such gatherings.
An insider from the royal family speculates that King Charles might be subtly trying to teach Prince William a lesson about the importance of fairness and forgiveness toward one's brother. The source suggests that the king's actions could be an attempt to show William that being forgiving and fair to Harry is a virtue, not a vice. However, another source told the Daily Mail that Prince William firmly disagrees with this approach, believing that there is no turning back for Harry given the current circumstances.
