Royal Expert makes ‘startling’ claim, Prince Harry seeks apology but will family oblige ?
During the ceremony, Harry wasn't seen interacting with King Charles and brother Prince William and received a cold reception.
Prince Harry's visit to King Charles III's coronation has led to a flurry of reports around his strained relationship with the royal family. During the ceremony, Harry wasn't seen interacting with King Charles and brother Prince William and received a cold reception. After the ceremony, Harry had made a hurried exit from United Kingdom and flew back to California to attend the birthday celebration of his son Archie.
In an intercation with Us Weekly on Tuesday, royal historian Gareth Russell said “Prince Harry feels very strongly he deserves an unequivocal apology.”
“I don’t think the royal family … believe he deserves one,” added Russell.

The rift between Prince Harry and the royal family had widened further after the Duke of Sussex made sensational revelations in his memoir, "Spare". Through the published book, Prince Harry had brought to the fore his differences with King Charles and Prince William. In "Spare," Prince Harry has even accused his brother Prince William of attacking him.
Russell also analysed Harry's subtle way of putting the blame for his differences with the royals on the family itself, in the book "Spare". Having read the book, Russell pointed out that there are “not many times” if any that Harry “says that he did something that pushed an argument forward.” More often than not, Prince Harry hints that “he doesn’t seem to think that he really did anything wrong when it comes to dealing with his family.”
Talking about Prince Harry's decision of attending the coronation( albeit for a very short time), Russel said that it appeared to be a “pause of intentions rather than a resolution.”
“Coming through such a short window of time implies that he wanted to be there to honor and support his father. Leaving again so quickly suggests that maybe relations with the rest of the family and his stepmother, [Queen Camilla], and his eldest brother are not yet restored,” said Russell.
