Europa Press, en.edatv.news The Windsor family's betrayal that Prince Harry will never be able to forgive
Harry is about to make a decision that shows just how broken his relationship with his father's family is
The relationship between Prince Harry and the Windsor family is more fractured than ever. Since his official departure in 2020, the distance has stopped being merely institutional and has become personal. Beyond his public criticism, what seems to have hurt Harry the most is the emotional indifference that, according to him, he has received from those closest to him.
He has felt a sense of distance, especially from his father, King Charles III, and his brother, Prince William. Harry, removed from protocol and family affection, shows through his actions a wound that remains open.
Harry's decision that says it all
According to Daily Mail, Harry even considered a bold gesture: giving up the Mountbatten-Windsor surname and adopting his mother Diana's surname. It wasn't a mere whim, but a symbolic manifestation of his break.
The intention didn't succeed, partly due to the advice of his uncle Charles. However, the fact that Harry even thought about severing ties with the royal surname has shown just how deep his emotional wound is.
For the Duke of Sussex, the paternal lineage represents an institution that protected neither his mother nor himself. In contrast, the Spencer surname is, for him, an emotional refuge with which he has always felt a greater affinity.
The pain of Prince Harry behind the Windsor surname
The Mountbatten-Windsor surname was created to unite the lineages of Elizabeth II and Philip. To reject it, as Harry considered, would be to reject that symbol of family and belonging to the monarchy. Meanwhile, it would be a cry for absolute independence from the monarchy.
All this is happening at a delicate moment, with Charles III undergoing medical treatment for cancer. Even so, Harry has kept his distance. There haven't been any intimate meetings or gestures of reconciliation, only silence.
The open wounds from the Netflix documentary, the book Spare, and his multiple interviews still weigh heavily. Meanwhile, the reaction from the Windsor circle remains one of secrecy.
A break that goes beyond titles
While William continues to fulfill his role as heir, Harry is building new walls. His life in the United States with Meghan and their children is as different as it is distant from his past. His trips to the United Kingdom are sporadic, discreet, and without real approaches to his family.
The possibility of an emotional reunion seems increasingly remote. Harry no longer needs to change his surname to mark distance; his attitude, his story, and his silence have said it all. It seems that, for him, there is no turning back now.
