I've seen signs of how stressed Harry is recently – he's killed any chance of reconciliation with King, expert says
A ROYAL expert says Prince Harry seems "down and sad" having killed any change of mending bridges with his father.
Last month, the royal launched into an astonishing rant on the BBC after losing his legal challenge to get back his tax-payer funded security.

The 40-year-old made a series of bombshell claims about the Royal Family - all the while insisting he wanted reconciliation.
King Charles was said to be "frustrated and upset" by his son's tirade.
Renowned royal photographer Arthur Edwards told the Royal Exclusive Show that Harry looked "so sad" in the interview.
He told The Sun's Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson that Harry "doesn't seem to be having a real role now" as Meghan delves into her various business ventures.
He said: "And I keep thinking back to that video he made when he lost the court case. And he looked so sad in that, so really down and not upbeat like he was normally.
"I feel somehow he's having probably second thoughts. All he wanted to do was reconcile with his father.
"The thing is, if he'd only said sorry on that interview, 'sorry, Pop, you know, I do want to see you' - I think that might have had a different [effect].
"But in many ways, it was coming from his heart, I thought. His father is not well, he's concerned - it's his father."
"I did feel that was a change in his attitude. I mean, I haven't seen anything in five years. and then suddenly he comes out with that.
"I thought he looked so sad, you know, so sad."
The Sun's Royal Editor called Harry's interview "one of their biggest mistakes" and said "it came from a place of anger".
Prince Harry's biggest bombshells:
Prince Harry lost his publicly-funded security appeal in a humiliating blow today
Harry claimed the King WON'T speak to him 'because of this security stuff'
He said he 'can't see a world' where he would bring his wife and children to the UK
Harry revealed he has 'forgiven' his family and was up for reconciliation - but claimed it was ALL down to Charles
The royal described his court loss as a 'good old fashioned establishment stitch up'
He also said he feels 'let down' by his country and reached out to the PM for help.
Buckingham Palace breaks its silence with a scathing statement after the bombshell interview
Prince Harry says he 'doesn't know how long King Charles has left'
The Royal gave the extraordinary interview after losing his appeal against the decision to remove his taxpayer-funded security.
In a fresh scathing attack, the Duke of Sussex unleashed a host of new claims including how dad Charles is no longer speaking to him and how he's "uncovered his worst fears".
The Duke of Sussex said he would "love reconciliation" with the royal family.
This comes after years of feuding with the family, including his own brother Prince William.
The feud between the Duke and his family started when he and Meghan Markle announced on January 8, 2020, that they would be stepping down as 'senior' members of the Royal Family.
A tragic revelation in the bombshell interview was when Prince Harry revealed that his father, King Charles, won't speak to him.
Harry said when making the emotional admission: "He won't speak to me because of this security stuff."
Harry and William are also said to be barely on speaking terms.
William was reportedly 'blindsided' by Harry's decision to ditch his duties to live in his Montecito mansion with Meghan and the pair have yet to make amends.
Another blow to the Royal relationships struck when Harry released his memoir Spare in 2023.
Harry didn't hold back in the controversial book which caused a deeper chasm between him and his brother.
In the bombshell memoir, he detailed Megxit and how the Royal family brand Meghan "difficult" and "rude."
He slammed Queen Camilla as a villain and was highly criticised for outing his family for cash.
The Duke of Sussex chillingly suggested it would be the Firm's fault if anything happened to him or wife Meghan Markle.
He said he misses the UK and it is "sad" that he won't be able to show his children his homeland.
A Palace Spokesperson said at the time: "All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion."

Prince Harry is 'pointing finger' & 'wants to blame everybody else' in bombshell interview as he 'fumes over court loss'
PRINCE Harry is pointing the finger in his bombshell interview after losing his battle for taxpayer-funded security, an expert slams.
The Duke responded to losing his court fight over his security in the UK in a bombshell BBC interview - in which he blamed a number of people for not giving him what he believes is sufficient security.
The Duke chillingly suggested it would be the Firm's fault if anything happened to him or wife Meghan Markle and that he feels unsafe to bring his children to the UK.
Broadcaster and royal biographer Hugo Vickers, 72, said it's not unlike Harry to play the blame game and it's about time he takes some accountability.
Vickers told The Sun: "I think he's pointing the finger pretty much at all of us really.
"He's always angry and so he's sort of doing what he does so often you know which is to blame other people.
"That is what they do the whole time.
"They're always telling us what they think and what they feel and telling us that we're in the wrong and they're in the right.
"He wants to attribute blame to everybody else - I mean he never seems to accept that he, himself, has done quite a few things which on the whole we don't really like."
After losing the appeal over receiving security for himself and his family - after battling for three-and-a-half years - Prince Harry expressed he was immensely disappointed with the verdict.

Royal fans think King Charles made Trooping the Colour 'faux pas'
Crowds are set to descend on central London for Trooping the Colour today (Saturday, June 14) – and some eagle-eyed royal fans have spotted what they believe is an error King Charles appears to have made a Trooping The Colour 'faux pas', royal fans claim. The celebration is due to kick off later today (Saturday, June 14) in honour of the monarch 's birthday. Every year, more than 1,400 soldiers, 400 musicians and 200 horses make their way to Horse Guard 's Parade via The Mall in honour of the big day. The festivities are brought to an end each year with an RAF flypast, with senior members of the Royal Family watching from the balcony at Buckingham Palace in front of adoring crowds. Trooping the Colour has been held in June every year for hundreds of years. Male members of the Royal Family will traditionally wear the uniforms of different regiments of the Household Division, of which Charles is Colonel in Chief. But eagle-eyed royal enthusiasts think they have spotted what they claim is a mistake in King Charles ' uniform from last year's parade. Taking to Reddit, one fan said: "There seems to be a faux pas in the King's uniform of Colonel-in-Chief of the Irish Guards at Trooping the Colour today. "He seems to be wearing the sash of a general officer's rather than the appropriate colonel's sash for the regiment." Another added: "Good catch! I think that probably is a faux pas. Of course we could retrospectively justify it by saying it's his army and he can wear what he likes." The Royal Family's Facebook page last year shed light on Charles' choice of attire, and revealed there was a reason he chose to wear the uniform he selected. "Members of the family taking part in today's parade proudly wore uniforms of regiments with which they have special associations," the post read. "The King, Colonel in Chief of the Household Division, wore the tunic of the Guard of Honour Order, the Irish Guards. The Monarch always wears the uniform of whichever Regiment's Colour is being trooped." Royal fans previously discovered why King Charles marks his birthday in June, despite being born in November. According to the official Royal Family website, Trooping The Colour "has marked the official birthday of the British Sovereign for over 260 years." The celebration is thought to have begun during the reign of King Charles II, who sat on the throne from 1660 until 1685. "Regimental flags of the British Army were historically described as 'Colours,'" The Household Division's website states. "The principal role of a regiment's Colours was to provide a rallying point on the battlefield." The Household Division explains young officers would march between the ranks of troops, holding the Colours high and giving rise to the parade we know and love today. "So, what today is a great tradition began life as a vital and practical parade designed to aid unit recognition before a battle commenced. "In 1748, it was decided that this parade would be used to mark the official birthday of the Sovereign and it became an annual event after George III became King in 1760," the website continues. "Today, this colourful spectacular remains a celebration of the Sovereign's official birthday." George III, like the current monarch, was born in November. However, holding a parade in winter was deemed a risky move thanks to the UK's reliably unreliable weather. June was chosen because it is more likely to be warm and dry, offering better conditions for a royal parade.

What is Trooping the Colour and how you can watch historic royal event
The annual royal event falls on the monarch's birthday each year Trooping the Colour is a huge annual event on the calendar for the British Royals. The celebration marks the official birthday of the monarch, King Charles. The 76-year-old will officially celebrate his milestone at the historic event, which includes a remarkable military ceremony, the well-known RAF flypast and, of course, the Buckingham Palace balcony appearance from members of the family. But what is it and who will be attending? Let's take a look at all the finer details below, as well as how you can tune in for the historic 2025 event this weekend, set to take place in London on Saturday, June 14. What exactly is Trooping the colour? The Trooping of the Colour has marked the official birthday of the British Sovereign for over 260 years, dating back to as early as the 17th century. Over 1,400 parading soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians come together each June to mark the monarch's official birthday, with King Charles now at the helm for the second year running as monarch. The streets are lined with crowds waving flags as the parade moves from Buckingham Palace and down The Mall to Horse Guard's Parade, alongside members of the Royal Family. The display closes with an RAF fly-past, observed by the family from the Buckingham Palace balcony. According to the Household Division, the British Army's regimental flags were historically described as 'colours' because they display the uniform and insignia of the soldiers from different military units. The army used these flags so that soldiers could easily spot their unit when they were on the field in battle. Officers would regularly march up and down in front of soldiers, known as 'trooping,' with their flags on display which was known as 'colours' so that everyone would know which ones would belong to which regiment. What takes place? Once The King has arrived at Horse Guard's Parade in Whitehall, he is greeted by a royal salute and carries out an inspection of the troops, who are fully trained and operational soldiers wearing the ceremonial uniform of red tunics and bearskin hats. Last year King Charles travelled by carriage alongside Queen Camilla amid his cancer treatment, although the late Queen Elizabeth would usually travel on horseback herself before her own mobility declined. After the military bands have performed, the escorted Regimental Colour, or flag, is processed down the ranks of soldiers. The King is then later joined by other members of the Royal Family on the balcony at Buckingham Palace to watch a fly-past by the Royal Air Force. A 41-gun salute is also fired in Green Park to mark the occasion. Who will attend and how to watch? Claire Balding will be presenting the live coverage, which will be held in London on Saturday, June 14, with the procession route from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guards Parade. The event will kick off at 10:30am until 1:10pm and will air on BBC One. The King and Queen will be in attendance at the ceremony, alongside senior members of the Royal Family, likely to include the Prince and Princess of Wales and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, and the Princess Royal, are also expected to be in attendance. Immediate members of the working Royal Family attend alongside their spouses, as well as most of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. In previous years, we've seen Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis make their debuts at the event, alongside their cousins, Savannah and Isla Phillips.
