Prince Harry has been accused of shirking responsibility for his actions amid his quest for family reconciliation, without taking one crucial step, says a Royal commentator.

Following an explosive interview after a failed legal battle over UK security arrangements, the Duke of Sussex made startling claims that King Charles would not communicate with him. Despite this, Harry expressed a desire to mend fences, declaring: "this, at the heart of it, is a family dispute".

The gap between the Sussexes and the monarchy widened notably after their Oprah Winfrey special, where they suggested a Royal harboured concerns over son Archie's skin colour before his birth.

Subsequently, in his contentious memoir 'Spare', Harry alleged that Prince William had physically assaulted him and accused King Charles of prioritising his own interests over Harry's, even suggesting feelings of jealousy towards Meghan. In a recent bombshell BBC interview, Harry made it clear: "Of course, some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book. Of course, they will never forgive me for lots of things."

Royal expert Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, believes a mea culpa from Harry for his past behaviour seems unlikely, despite his appeals for familial reconciliation, reports The Mirror.

The source revealed: "By now Charles is used to Harry's disloyalty and contradictions. But what he will not be prepared to put up with is his youngest son's stubborn conviction that he is always right. Harry's ego is so fragile he thinks the world is against him. He refuses to take responsibility for his actions. If he wants reconciliation, why does he still attack his family?

"If he did say sorry to his father and those he has hurt, he would be admitting he was wrong. Harry has such a weak sense of self he appears incapable of doing this. Harry's stubbornness will almost certainly prevent him from bringing his wife and children to the UK. At least in the immediate future.

"He said he realised he had upset the 'family' but never once offered to apologise. The King knows this. But he also understands that under Harry's accusatory exterior, he is extremely vulnerable."

In another explosive segment of the interview, Harry touched on the King's health, which has come under scrutiny due to cancer treatment, saying: "And I said, life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has, he, he won't speak to me because of this security stuff, but it would be nice to reconcile."

He also revealed that information he uncovered during the legal process led him to believe "some people want history to repeat itself", seemingly alluding to the tragic fate of his mother Diana, Princess of Wales. This outspokenness is reportedly the reason why the King has ceased communication with his youngest son, as per Royal biographer Ingrid, even though it may cause him distress.

She elaborated: "As King, Charles needs total trust. He is head of state and monarch and that has to come first as Charles vowed at his Coronation. He will be very sad it has come to this. But if he can't trust Harry, he has to avoid him until such time things change. If they ever do."

This revelation follows comments from another Royal authority, former BBC Royal correspondent Jennie Bond said how Harry's "barely controlled emotion" sharply contrasted with King Charles' public overtures to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex after Queen Elizabeth II passed away in 2022.

"Imagine the scene: King Charles, presumably having been told that his younger son had given a TV interview, tunes into the BBC to hear Harry accuse him of 'not caring' about his safety. He hears that the establishment, and by implication the royal family, tried to imprison Harry and his wife and children, allowing their security to be downgraded in order to force them to stay in the UK.

"And he sees Harry talk about 'some people wanting history to repeat itself' – a reference, it would seem, to his mother's security arrangements when she was killed in a car crash.

"Contrast this with the King's very first broadcast the day after the late Queen died, in which he made a specific point of expressing his love for Harry and Meghan 'as they continue to build their lives overseas.'".

Commenting on Prince Harry's tone during the interview, Jennie added: "The words that Harry used about losing his court case: that he was 'devastated, gutted and surprised' could well be the exact words that King Charles might echo about this latest bombshell interview."
