'For better or worse, Meghan's forging ahead with her path. But seeing Harry look exactly as you say, looking so defeated.
'But from that interview and the things he was saying, it just appears he seems quite stuck.'

ITV
's Royal Editor Chris Ship argued that if Prince Harry does want to reconcile with his father, as he stated in the
BBC
chat, the video was 'exactly the thing not to do.'
He explained: 'Because now, you know, they can't share anything private with him because they're worried it will just end up in the public realm.'
Arthur stated that if Prince Harry had said 'sorry Pop, I do want to see you', it 'might have had a difference.'
However, the royal photographer did say that his BBC plea was 'coming from his heart.'
He added: 'I thought he looked so sad, you know, so sad.
'Maybe because he'd just lost half a million, one and a half million quid, maybe that's what made him sad.'

HARRY'S BOMBSHELL CHAT
A tragic revelation in the bombshell interview was when Prince Harry revealed that his father, King Charles, won't speak to him.

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.

"There have been so many disagreements, differences between me and some of my family," he added.
"This current situation - ongoing for 5 years - is the sticking point.
"Of course some members of my family will never forgive me for writing the book, for lots of things."
He says the
future
of him, his family, and their relationship with the UK will depend on King Charles.
Keen for the family to make up, the Duke says whether a reconciliation is on the cards will ultimately be up to his father, saying: "It's in his hands."
He added: "I have no idea how much longer my father has - he is no longer speaking to me - but it would be
nice
to reconcile.
"It would be nice to have that reconciliation part now. If they don't want that, that's entirely up to them."
Why did Prince Harry and Meghan Markle step back as senior working royals?
PRINCE Harry has always wanted out of the Royal Family and the repercussions will be felt for years, an expert has claimed.
The Duke of Sussex has lived in California with his wife Meghan Markle since 2020 after they dramatically quit their jobs as working royals and moved across the pond.
Katie Nicholl, who is Vanity Fair's royal correspondent, told The Sun's
Speaking to The Sun's Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson, the commentator explained: "Anyone who knows Harry is aware he's always wanted a way out of the Royal Family.
"He's said multiple times on the record that he wished he'd never been born a prince.
"I think he really is living the life he wants to now. It's very, very sad that it's played out the way it has.'
"We intend to step back as 'senior' members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen.
"It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment.
"We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages.
"This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity.'
