'Pathetic' Prince Harry: Duke's 'Grievances' Against Royals Amid 'Very Real' Issues Like Cancer Labeled 'Trivial'
Prince Harry and all his "grievances" against the British monarchy have been labeled "pathetic" when compared to the cancer struggles of Kate, Princess of Wales and King Charles III.
"As regards to William, that does appear to be a terminally damaged relationship," veteran royal reporter Jennie Bond told an outlet when discussing Harry and Prince William's relationship. "In a way, it seems the boot is now very much on the other foot. Previously it was Harry who was the 'victim' looking for an apology for all his perceived grievances."
"Now those grievances must seem utterly trivial, even to Harry, in the face of a very real problem: cancer," Bond added. "Catherine and William are involved in a frightening fight, and I don't think they have the will or the strength to confront someone, even a brother, who picked a fight over issues that seem pathetic by comparison."
The monarch and future queen were both diagnosed with cancer in February, and His Majesty and Her Royal Highness are receiving chemotherapy treatments currently. Kate's therapy is preventative to ensure a mysterious form of the disease stays away, whereas the King's treatments are actively fighting the disease, and the type is unknown to the public.
In addition to his issues with his brother, father and sister-in-law, the California prince is also likely "forever on the outs" with his stepmother, Queen Camilla. "Let's just say that the Queen might be otherwise engaged," a royal source spilled about Harry's visit.
As for the Duke of Sussex and Her Majesty The Queen, there was never likely to be a meeting to begin with between these two. Previous reports revealed that Harry "can't stand" his stepmother, and this has allegedly been the case for years.
But the King doesn't seem to make it easy for his youngest son to meet with him, thanks to Harry's problems with the Queen.
"We know that Charles likes to meet Harry with Camilla in the room, which isn’t always a popular decision," royal commentator Charlotte Griffiths observed. "Harry was without his wife as well, so this was fraught with difficulty."
"In response to the many inquiries and continued speculation on whether the duke will meet with his father while in the U.K. this week, it, unfortunately, will not be possible due to His Majesty’s full program," she added.
Meghan Markle was also trashed in March when the ex-actress decided to launch her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, which one Hollywood insider called an "enhanced and costly update" to her old brand, The Tig. "She wasted no time whatsoever in launching this glitzy, ultimately forgettable brand what with Princess Kate and the King now afflicted with cancer — perfect timing Meghan," the source added.
