'This is not the first incident.'

Prince Harry's nuclear interview would have ‘horrified' late Queen Elizabeth II: expert
Prince Harry declared on Friday that he wants to reconcile with his family after losing a court battle over his publicly funded security – but for the royal family, it's too little, too late. The claim was made by British royals expert Hilary Fordwich, who told Fox News Digital that everyone who knew the Duke of Sussex's beloved grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, believed she would have been 'truly horrified' by his latest tell-all. Advertisement 'For her, it would indeed have been felt as a violation of both discretion and privacy,' Fordwich explained. 'She valued the little privacy her family members could maintain in such an exposed role. Being betrayed by a family member, publicly airing grievances was abhorrent to her. She was particularly private regarding matters of health and family disputes.' A similar sentiment was previously shared by unnamed sources with ITV News. The 'exasperated' palace insiders told the outlet that the 40-year-old's words about his father's cancer were in 'poor taste' and noted that his new outburst only shows there is 'nothing that can be trusted to remain private.' During his sit-down with BBC News, Harry said, 'I don't know how much longer my father has.' King Charles, 76, was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer in February 2024.

ITV reported that Harry's comments about his father's cancer 'went down very badly in royal circles.' Insiders noted that Harry's decision to talk about his father's health would have 'appalled' the late queen.

But Harry said what's souring the relationship now is a decision to remove his police protection detail after he stopped being a working royal.

He suggested his father was part of the problem, saying he'd asked the king 'to step out of the way and let the experts do their job.' British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard claimed that what should have been a 10-minute interview about Harry's court case turned into a 'delusional, damning, self-absorbed moan.' 'The queen will especially be turning in her grave,' Chard claimed to Fox News Digital.

Prince Harry's betrayal shattered King Charles' trust beyond repair: expert
King Charles is said to be missing his grandchildren from across the pond — but the ailing monarch has no plans to reconcile with his younger son anytime soon, due to lack of trust. The claim was made by British royals expert Hilary Fordwich, who said that the 76-year-old, along with the rest of the royal family, is having difficulty trusting Harry after his latest interview. The king's grandson, Prince Archie, is celebrating his sixth birthday on May 6. Fox News Digital reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment. After losing a court case over his security on Friday, Harry gave an emotional interview in which he said he wanted reconciliation. The 40-year-old said "the security stuff" was the reason his father stopped talking to him. "King Charles sees his wayward son's approach to detailing private family disputes in interviews, books, and on television as in direct violation of not just royal norms but undignified and contrary to all basic decency," Fordwich claimed. "He knows it would be constitutionally inappropriate for him to have intervened directly in any way regarding security," she said. "While he regrets not having a relationship with Archie or [his sister] Lilibet, he is constrained by the legal and constitutional boundaries of his position. Everyone who knows him says he's loving and generous, so the lack of contact with his grandchildren is said to be hurtful." Fordwich said that the Duke of Sussex "has burned bridges" since he and his wife Meghan Markle stepped back as senior royals and moved to California in 2020. Since the couple's departure, they have aired their grievances in interviews and documentaries, as well as Harry's 2023 memoir "Spare," which listed embarrassing details about the House of Windsor. "He is oblivious to the fact that his privileged upbringing was a blessing compared with most," Fordwich claimed. "His behavior is causing irreparable harm nationally, as he was once much loved and second in popularity only to his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II." "He doesn't serve his country, he only serves himself," Fordwich claimed. "That is abhorrent to all the British and British values." Harry has been estranged from his family since he and Meghan quit royal duties, alleging hostility and racist attitudes by the press and royal establishment. His memoir, which was stuffed with private details about his family, only worsened the rift. But Harry said what's souring the relationship now is a decision to remove his police protection detail after he stopped being a working royal. On Friday, the Court of Appeal in London rejected Harry's bid to restore the protection, saying a government committee was justified in deciding that security should be assessed on a case-by-case basis whenever Harry visits the U.K. WATCH: PRINCE HARRY HAS SPENT THE LAST FEW YEARS 'TORTURING' THE ENTIRE ROYAL FAMILY, EXPERT ARGUES Harry blamed the palace, alleging that the decision to withdraw his security had been made at the direction of royal officials, who sit on the committee alongside police and government representatives. He said they were "knowingly putting me and my family in harm's way," hoping that the sense of threat "would force us to come back." He suggested his father was part of the problem, saying he'd asked the king "to step out of the way and let the experts do their job." Fordwich was unfazed by Harry's admissions. "Harry's public airing of his grievances, whining, perceived self-victimization, and refusal to resolve matters privately have not only alienated him from his family but also have deprived his children of their heritage as well as royal relationships," she argued. "Those who work for and know the royals all have little to no optimism for reconciliation. Harry's recent legal actions and resulting BBC interview have only served to make matters way worse, not just among all the royals but also among most of the British public. His naïveté was on full display, as well as his ghastly poor judgment." Royal expert Ian Pelham Turner told Fox News Digital that Charles "is very paternal" and not getting to know his two young grandchildren has been a sore spot. "Of course, he misses meeting Harry and Meghan's children just as much as they all miss knowing him," he said. "Harry wants reconciliation, and I am sure Meghan wants that too. The point Harry was making was that the royal family had to invite them officially over so that they could all have full security. If it was a private visit, they would not have the same security levels." "The ball is in King Charles' court now to make the first steps and invite them all over," Turner added. British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard claimed to Fox News Digital that Charles had always hoped he could develop a relationship with the Sussex children. However, he now sees it as "a distant wish." "He is horrified, hurt and upset by his son's constant barrage of damaging, offensive comments towards him and the royal family," Chard claimed. "He also has to preserve his energy, concentrate on battling cancer and lead the monarchy." "Prince Harry maintains that his security battle has prevented him from bringing his family to the U.K.," said Chard. "Sadly, he will not bring his children to the U.K. without 24/7 gun-protected security. A thorough case-by-case bespoke security arrangement is in place." "He also believes he has no relationship with his father solely due to his security battle," Chard continued. "This is not the case. Prince Harry is constantly in fight mode, battling personal crusades and publicly trashing the British royal family. Prince Harry may wear his heart on his sleeve. However, his lack of empathy towards others, hypocritical antics and blurred sense of reality has not only done him damage but has negatively impacted the whole royal family." The king has been treated for an undisclosed form of cancer for more than a year. Buckingham Palace has given infrequent updates and has not disclosed what form of cancer he has. Harry, who has met his father only once, briefly, since his diagnosis early last year, said, "I don't know how much longer my father has." Harry held out little hope of another meeting with his father soon. "The only time I come back to the U.K. is, sadly, for funerals or court cases," he said. Still, Harry noted he fears for his family's safety. Since his royal exit, he has been stripped of taxpayer-funded police protection. He has also been denied permission to pay for it himself, leaving private security his only option. He said that is not as good as police protection, which is provided for life to "people who leave public office," such as former prime ministers. But like Fordwich, Chard stressed that Harry can't be trusted. Without hesitation, she labeled him the "Duke of Delusions" due to his questionable actions. "King Charles holds a place in his heart for his youngest child but sadly realizes he cannot be trusted," Chard claimed. "King Charles, along with certain other royal family members, has been forced to cut contact with Prince Harry as all trust has been broken. Prince Harry has no filter and continues to share anything and everything with the media without a care in the world. There is only so much reputational damage that can be smoothed over." "He launches attacks on his father despite claiming 'there is no point fighting anymore,'" said Chard. "He condemns the 'establishment stitch-up' while maintaining that his establishment birthright should guarantee his police protection and everything he requests. He has blown all trust. No one has the time or heart to pander to Prince Harry's whims, and they certainly don't want their private conversations blazoned in books and Netflix productions." "Prince Harry's actions may have put the final nail in the coffin," Chard added. Harry and Meghan continue to raise their children in California. Harry said he "can't see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the U.K." The prince said he loves Britain and "it's really quite sad that I won't be able to show my children my homeland."

Prince William, Kate Middleton turn to country life amid growing pressure: expert
Prince William and Kate Middleton are celebrating their anniversary somewhere they feel right at home. The Prince and Princess of Wales are visiting an island northwest of Scotland — where they fell in love — for two days starting on April 29, the same date as their 2011 wedding, People magazine reported. Royal experts told Fox News Digital that the destination holds special significance for the couple, who have enjoyed country life as a refuge while they quietly prepare to be future monarchs. William, 42, is next in line to the throne. Prince William Steals Kiss From Kate Middleton In Rare Valentine's Day Photo "Prince William and Princess Catherine are heading to the Isle of Mull, just off the coast of Scotland," British royal expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital. "They will spend the night of their wedding anniversary in a self-catered holiday cottage." "Their opting for modest accommodation, rather than a luxury hotel, is a metaphor for their relationship," said Fordwich. "It's uncomplicated, genuine and represents the way they like to do things, which is together without a lot of fuss and connected to rural life. They have an enduring connection to Scotland, from their university days together where they started as friends." Read On The Fox News App According to Fordwich, William has been packing on the romance and showering Kate with affection since she announced that her cancer was in remission earlier this year. Bonding in the countryside — beyond palace walls — has been essential to their relationship, she said. "After Prince William was witnessed by the world delivering gravitas and diplomacy, all welcome signs of his growing confidence on the international stage, he is treasuring his time with Princess Catherine, as he put it, his 'second chance,'" Fordwich explained. "He's been focusing on romantic dinners, long walks and sharing their interest in rural life." "They always energize each other in the countryside, which has been described as 'medicine for their marriage,'" said Fordwich. "They don't let challenges drive them apart but rather leverage them to pull together. Their resilience is deeply rooted in their mutual love of family and results in a deep commitment to ensuring the next generation of monarchy is secure." WATCH: KATE MIDDLETON'S DORMMATE RECALLS BEFRIENDING THE FUTURE PRINCESS OF WALES The couple met at the University of St. Andrews in 2005 and studied art history, People magazine reported. The pair, who are known as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay in Scotland, dated on and off for much of their four years at the university. The outlet noted that their visit to Scotland is aimed at celebrating rural living and the work of farming communities. They will start the day at Tobermory, a seaside town known for its harbor cottages that's also the setting of the British children's TV show "Balamory." William and Kate have previously opened up about their love of spending time outdoors. In a 2020 podcast, Kate said her favorite moments with her family take place "outside in the country, and we're all filthy dirty." In February of this year, William told a group from the Scottish Association of Young Farmers Clubs, "I love the countryside, and I love farming as well," People magazine reported. "I'm conscious that it's an area that needs maybe support in understanding that there's access to support out there." Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliam told Fox News Digital that after the couple said "I do," William chose not to take on royal engagements full-time and instead, focused on prioritizing his family in a quiet, private setting. Click Here To Sign Up For The Entertainment Newsletter "As the world's most high-profile and most glamorous royal couple, they bring a very special cachet to the causes they support," said Fitzwilliams. "William's Earthshot Prize and help for the homeless and Catherine's Early Years Foundation are excellent examples. Initially nervous as a public speaker, she now has confidence as well as poise and charm." "We also see examples of their closeness as a couple in the way they, unusually for a royal couple, engage in displays of affection," he shared. "Their mutual affection is especially evident when they compete against each other in sports. They and their children, whose privacy they guard fiercely, are the future of the monarchy. The inspiration that Kate derives from the natural world she has shown [on social media]." British broadcaster Helena Chard told Fox News Digital that the couple's secret behind their 14-year marriage has been carving out time for their mutual passions together. "The bond and love that the Prince and Princess of Wales still share with each other is evident for all to see," she explained. "They complete each other like two puzzle pieces. They are soulmates. The truth is, both Prince William and Princess Catherine have always had a strong sense of self. They communicate, compromise and share burdens. They help each other through challenging times. Princess Catherine is the more solution-focused. However, their collaborative approach filters into everything they do." "Their shared humor is also their superpower, along with a wonderful close circle of friends and a strong family support network," said Chard. "They don't feel the need to prove themselves to anyone and are laser-focused on all they do, from their family priorities to their royal endeavors. They haven't changed as people and have simply matured together. They certainly know their own minds and, as modern royals, are carrying out everything that they feel fits rather than what is expected." Like What You're Reading? Click Here For More Entertainment News "They prioritize shared goals in bringing up a happy, healthy family," Chard added. According to People magazine, the couple will launch a partnership between their Royal Foundation and the local area to support two community spaces on Mull, which is recognized for its farming and fishing heritage. They will also visit a small farm to learn about sustainable agriculture. On the second day of their visit, the outlet shared that the couple would spend time with local schoolchildren for outdoor learning. Kate previously shared on a podcast that growing up, her family taught her the importance of appreciating the outdoors. "I remember that from my childhood — doing the simple things, going for a walk together, and that's really what I try and do with my children as well, because it totally strips away all the complications, all the pressures," she said. "I think these experiences as well mean so much to children and the world that they're in which is a real adventure for them at that age." Chard said that Kate and William have always had a mutual love of "the great outdoors" and have made it part of their work when possible. "They passionately throw themselves into their work," she said. "With a view to 'impact' and 'scale,' they genuinely take great interest and care, making a difference and creating positive change… They embrace [a] simple life and [will continue to do that] as they help the community of Mull on their 14th anniversary. The visit aims to highlight the importance of protecting and championing the natural environment, a cause close to their hearts." Before heading to Scotland, William and Kate spent most of their time off at their country home, Anmer Hall, in Norfolk. People magazine reported that it was there where they entertained Kate's parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, on Easter article source: Prince William, Kate Middleton turn to country life amid growing pressure: expert
