Prince Harry’s UK visit triggers 'war of words' within the royal family

Prince Harry’s four day visit to the UK continues to dominate headlines. His long awaited reunion with his father, King Charles, after nearly two years of estrangement.

Their much discussed “private tea” at Clarence House, which reportedly lasted less than an hour, has fueled speculation about the state of their relationship.

Following reports that the meeting was more formal than expected, the Duke of Sussex released a firm statement addressing the claims. In the latest episode of A Right Royal Podcast, hosts Andrea Caamano, HELLO! editor Emily Nash, and The Sun’s royal editor Matt Wilkinson unpacked the growing tension.

Emily Nash noted, “That sort of triggered a kind of war of words between the two sides. And there's clearly a lot of frustration, both from the King's camp and Harry's, over the way things are being played out in the media.”

Matt Wilkinson added, “We need a period of silence, but the problem is it's Harry that brings the noise, it's Harry's visit that brings the noise, it's his interview with The Guardian a couple of days later that that brings lots of attention.”

The episode also touched on King Charles’ recent engagements, Prince Andrew’s holiday plans, and Prince William’s busy schedule, which bodes well for the Princess of Wales.
