Prince Harry has “forced” King Charles<\/a> into a “difficult position” after “smashing” the Royal Family’s circle of trust, a leading royal expert says. Rebecca English, royal editor at the Daily Mail, made the claim in a special, live edition of the publication’s Palace Confidential podcast. Guests of the show were asked about Harry<\/a>‘s forthcoming visit to the UK to mark the one-year countdown to the Invictus Games<\/a>. Rebecca English said sources had told her the monarch felt “forced” into meeting his son the last time they met, at Clarence House in September last year.<\/p>\n

She told the podcast<\/a>: “He’s not a bad man. He’s not an uncaring man. He loves his son. But his son has put him in a very, very difficult position. He has betrayed a lot of family intimacies. I don’t want to use the word ‘secrets’, but it’s certainly intimacies.” Ms English added: “There’s a very small circle of people [the Royal Family] can trust and once you’re in that circle of trust you remain in [it]. And Harry has smashed that with a hammer.” The Duke of Sussex made a series of allegations against members of his family in his memoir, Spare. These included a claim that Charles did not hug Harry when Princess Diana<\/a> died.<\/p>\n
