Exposing the bomb Prince HarryHis strained relationship with the royal family after his memoir "Spare".

According to a close source, the Duke of Sussex was "genuinely hopeful" of a reconciliation, but his relatives have not yet contacted him.

Despite the meeting King Charles in February 2024 after being diagnosed with cancer, Prince Harry has not been able to reconnect with his father since then.

According to Vanity Fair enoughreveals February cover storyHarry had hoped the family would contact him following the publication of his controversial memoir "Spare".

The prince, who published the book in January 2023, reportedly confided to a guest at an event later that year that none of his royal relatives had heard from him since it was published.

The source expressed sympathy for Harry, noting that his hope for a reconciliation was "genuine".

"That's something that made me so sad. His hope seemed very genuine," the source said. "And I was like, 'Oh, no.'"

According to the report, Harry may not have fully "absorbed the weight" of his memoir's revelations, particularly the damaging allegations against his family.

Among these claims was a report of Prince William allegedly calling Meghan Markle "difficult", "rude" and "abrasive", as well as a physical altercation in which William allegedly pushed Harry into a dog bowl.

Reflecting on the situation, the source added, "The power of the written word and the power of narrative. I don't know if that's something he understood when he was doing it."

Just over a year after the release of "The Spare," Harry met King Charles briefly in February 2024 following the announcement of the monarch's cancer diagnosis.

The conversation between father and son lasted about 45 minutes, marking their first meaningful interaction in 15 months. Their last personal meeting was at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022.

In May 2024, Harry returned to the UK for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, but did not meet King Charles. Although Harry had hoped to reconnect, the meeting reportedly could not take place due to the king's busy schedule.

At the time, Harry's spokesperson addressed the public speculation, saying: "In response to the many inquiries and ongoing speculation about whether the Duke will meet his father this week while in the UK, unfortunately that will not be possible due to Puni His Majesty's program."

They added: "The Duke, of course, understands his father's diary and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon."

last year, People Magazine also revealed that Harry has not been able to reach his father since visiting the UK in February.

"He becomes 'currently unavailable,'" said a friend of the duke's. "His calls go unanswered. He tried to reach the king's health, but those calls also go unanswered."

In August 2024, Harry and William were seen together for the first time in two years as they attended the funeral of their uncle, Robert Fellowes.

Despite their ongoing feud, both brothers came together to pay tribute to their late uncle, Princess Diana's brother-in-law, who died in July aged 82.

The last time the brothers were in the same room was during the coronation of King Charles a year earlier, although reports suggest they did not interact.

Witnesses at the funeral also noted that Harry and William did not appear to be speaking to each other.

This claim was echoed by Reverend Dan Tansey, vicar of the church where the funeral was held.

Reverend Tansey said Daily Mail that William and Harry walked away from "a few people" as they left the event and could not recall speaking to each other at the reception afterwards.

The Vanity Fair the article also highlights the growing divide between Harry and the world around him, describing him as "not allowed outside of his nuclear family".

Despite their public image, the article suggests Harry is struggling to form meaningful friendships in the US, with sources close to the couple revealing Meghan has acknowledged her husband's difficulties in building lasting relationships since their move to California.

The insider explained that Harry's royal upbringing left him ill-equipped for life outside the monarchy, saying: "Harry doesn't know what real life is."

His privileged background reportedly made it a challenge for him to adapt to the realities of everyday life.

In addition, the article suggests that Meghan has taken on a caretaker role in their relationship, "making his life easier" while Harry focuses on supporting her ambitions.

A former co-star of the pair noted, "I don't want to be like, oh, it's an Oedipus thing or whatever, but I kind of feel like she's bringing him up again in a way."

The revelations also revealed a growing backlash against Harry and Meghan, as former colleagues and neighbors openly voiced their frustrations with the couple.

Wealthy residents of Montecito, where the couple live in a $29 million mansion, expressed their displeasure at the disruption in their once quiet neighborhood, which has turned into a noisy hub for tourists and fast cars.

After buying their luxury home from an oligarch, the couple became known as "local villains" in this luxurious California enclave.

One frustrated neighbor remarked, "They moved out of England to escape the scrutiny of the press and all they do is try to get into the press in the United States."
