Prince Harry Alleges ‘Sources Intent on Sabotage’ Fueled Reports of Tense Meeting with King Charles
Prince Harry has publicly addressed recent reports detailing a strained meeting with King Charles following the announcement of the monarch’s cancer diagnosis, claiming that the coverage stemmed from purposeful efforts to undermine him. The Duke of Sussex stated that ”sources intent on sabotage” were responsible for the inaccurate portrayal of their brief encounter in London last week, according to remarks made during a speech at the NFL Honors awards ceremony in Las Vegas on thursday.
The allegations come amid ongoing tensions between Harry and the royal family, exacerbated by his and Meghan Markle‘s decision to step back as senior royals in 2020 and subsequent public disclosures through interviews and Harry’s memoir, Spare. the timing of the dispute is especially sensitive as King Charles undergoes treatment, and the royal family navigates public scrutiny surrounding his health and the future of the monarchy. Harry’s comments suggest a continued battle for narrative control and raise questions about the internal dynamics within the House of Windsor.
Harry revealed he immediately jumped on a plane to the UK upon learning of his father’s diagnosis and spent time with Charles. He described the visit as a precious moment, but lamented that the details were quickly distorted by media reports suggesting a frosty reception. “I was grateful to be able to spend time with him,” Harry said. “The papers implied I only flew to the UK to try and cash in on his diagnosis.You know, that’s what they do. That’s the playbook.”
He further emphasized the importance of family and support during difficult times, dedicating his remarks to those who have experienced loss or are currently facing health challenges. The NFL Honors event recognized Harry’s work with the Invictus Games Foundation, which supports wounded veterans.
