Prince William Is 'Furious' Over Prince Harry's 'PR' Stunt of a Visit to Sick King Charles
Prince William is currently anchoring the royal family, and now that he has settled into his leadership role, he is "furious" with Prince Harry's antics!
Veteran royal author Ingrid Seward dished on how the Prince of Wales finds the Duke of Sussex's in-and-out trip to visit sickly King Charles III to be a "PR stunt."
"William would be upset that Harry yet again has chosen to make this visit to see his father a PR opportunity," Seward added. "As far as William is concerned, he has absolutely no interest in speaking to Harry until Harry behaves like a gentleman and apologizes for the years of rudeness and slurs he has aimed at William and the Princess of Wales."
The scribe further revealed how the future king "must be privately furious" at his younger brother for using their ill father as "an opportunity to announce his arrival and expect to see" the heir to the throne.
The King is currently battling an unknown form of cancer, which was diagnosed shortly after his "successful" procedure on his prostate. This "devastating" news comes only 17 months into his reign, which followed the equally troubling news of Kate, Princess of Wales' shock abdominal surgery on January 16. William took over two weeks off from royal duties to assist his recovering wife before having to "step up" and guide the Crown after its CEO fell seriously ill.
The fifth in line to the throne flew from Montecito to visit the monarch in a much-hyped reunion event on February 6, but subsequently only spent one hour with his dad, who was receiving cancer treatments by that point. The fiery-haired prince was in Britain for a full 24 hours, and royal analysts criticized him for his "blink, and you'll miss it" visit.
"The King announcing he had cancer was totally unprecedented and incredibly brave — but suddenly the focus was on what Harry was doing," a palace insider spilled after the father-son reunion. "He seems to have this knack of making it all about him," the source told an outlet.
They added: "Some people think it’s a bit late to cast himself as the dutiful, concerned son after all the unforgivable things he said about his father, and brother, and their wives in his book."
Apparently, Harry's trip did not go down well with other senior members of the monarchy due to its brevity.
"Of course, but members of the royal family generally don’t behave like a teenager in a reality show expressing their personal impulses. It fuels speculation and panic," the insider continued. "They keep calm and carry on."
