The British Crown on edge: they've exposed Prince Harry's secret at the last minute

Prince Harry has been as charismatic as he is controversial both inside and outside royalty. His personal decisions have led him down a very different path from his family, and since he settled in California, everything has changed. Today, everything he says or does once again echoes in Buckingham Palace.

Charles III tries to keep institutional calm amid constant emotional tension between his battle with cancer and the problems with Harry. His youngest son keeps generating headlines that make the Palace uncomfortable. Time hasn't managed to erase the wounds of the past.

A symbolic gesture from Harry that didn't have the desired effect

Harry recently traveled to Angola, repeating the step his mother took years ago. He walked through mined areas and worked with the Halo organization. But this time, the effect was different.

According to expert Robert Jobson, speaking to The Sun, the impact was less because "he no longer has the same appeal as before." He added that "he must know it," pointing out that the public no longer sees him the same way as before.

Jobson was also clear when comparing the gesture to Diana's past. "She didn't monetize it for herself. He made a fortune from it," he said, referring to the book Spare.

Secret meeting and uncomfortable silence

An informal summit, held a few weeks ago, between Harry's collaborators and the king's advisers, sparked hope for reconciliation. However, the environment of the heir to the throne, William, wasn't present and, apparently, everything was left halfway.

Harry himself said to the BBC a few months ago: "Life is precious. I'd like to get my father and my brother back." Despite that desire, the distance remains evident.

The open wounds go back a long way. In the interview with Oprah, Meghan confessed to having had suicidal thoughts because of the treatment she received. Harry added that there was concern about his son's skin color.

Public opinion: point of no return

A recent survey conducted by the Royal Exclusive program from The Sun reflected the feelings of the citizens. Seventy-three percent don't want to see a reconciliation between Harry and his family. The image of the Duke of Sussex has lost strength; in fact, it seems to have worn out the citizens.

Rhiannon Mills, editor at Sky News, was direct: "Harry threw his family under the bus." She stated that the whole family was harmed in interviews and in Spare.

With words that can't be erased, distrust keeps growing. Although the prince seeks to repair the damage done, the gestures don't seem to be enough. In Buckingham, forgiveness seems increasingly distant.
