Prince Harry’s calls to King go ‘unanswered’ as court battle heats up: ‘Nothing has…

Prince Harry’s relationship with his father, King Charles, remains deeply strained as the Duke of Sussex continues his legal battle over UK security.

This estrangement has only intensified as Harry fights to restore his state-funded official security, which was stripped from him in 2020 after he and Meghan stepped back from royal duties.

I don’t think there is any rapprochement,” a source close to the Palace claimed. “Nothing has changed.”

Another source was more direct: “They are distant

Harry believes his father, as ceremonial head of state, could easily intervene to have his security reinstated, though the Palace has consistently denied this.

Those close to Harry believe the King is deliberately keeping his distance, partly to avoid being drawn into security discussions.

The legal battle] puts Harry in direct contact with the people who are carrying out the King’s orders,” royal author Sally Bedell Smith continued to tell People.

The courtroom tensions mirror the personal rift, with Charles’s advisers directly tied to RAVEC, the Government committee denying Harry’s protection.

Despite the family tensions, Harry wants Archie and Lilibet to connect with their UK roots and heritage. He hopes his children can build relationships with their extended family in Britain.

This desire for family connection stands in stark contrast to the reality of his fractured relationships with both his father and brother.
Prince William, like Charles, hasn’t responded to Harry’s calls or messages, according to reports.

Trust remains a major hurdle to reconciliation, with the fallout from Harry’s memoir ‘Spare’ continuing to weigh heavily on family relationships.

Harry’s legal fight for UK security “has always mattered the most” to him, as he said when leaving London’s Royal Courts of Justice on April 9.
For the 40-year-old prince, this isn’t merely a legal appeal but a fight to protect Meghan and their children, Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.

Harry believes the removal of official security was a calculated attempt to control him and Meghan, and to deter them from stepping away from royal life. This realisation “was difficult to swallow” and has deepened an already raw rift.

The case represents both a security concern and potentially a final chance at reconciliation with the Royal Family.

Following the hearing, a source close to Harry’s legal team said they were “cautiously optimistic” about the outcome. A ruling is expected in the coming weeks.

Regardless of the legal result, Harry remains “driven by exposing injustice” and determined to “get under the bonnet and fix” what’s broken.

His motivation is deeply personal – protecting his family. “He feels very strongly this is something he must fight for,” said a source close to the situation.

The emotional distance is evident in their limited contact. Their last face-to-face meeting was a brief 30-minute encounter in February 2024, shortly after Charles publicly revealed his cancer diagnosis. Queen Camilla was present, and there have been no private father-son conversations since.

Sources close to Harry say his calls and letters continue to go unanswered.
