King Charles asked Prince Harry to stop snitching on Royal Family secrets

A royal expert has revealed how the King reached out to his estranged son

King Charles has made a direct request to his estranged son Prince Harry to cease leaking private details about the Royal Family, according to a royal expert.

Relations have been strained ever since Harry and his wife Meghan Markle turned their backs on the Royal Family and resigned from their duties as working members of the family in 2020.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved to a home in Montecito, California, as they began a new chapter in their lives – much of which involved spilling secrets from their time as royals.

The couple signed multiple deals to tell their story, with Harry writing a memoir ‘Spare’ about this fallout with his father and brother, signing lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify.

But the fallout threatened to sever ties between King Charles and Prince Harry for good, and the monarch, 75, reached out to Harry “directly” to urge him to stop leaking details, according to royal author and expert Tom Quinn.

“Harry has been asked directly by his father not to write or say publicly anything further about the family or his brother that might cause trouble,” Quinn told The Mirror.

“And everyone knows that when a king asks you to do something, there are going to be consequences if you do not obey.

What does Prince Harry want from King Charles?
Quinn adds that after being exiled from the family, Harry, 39, is merely looking for an apology from his brother, William, and father, Charles. However, his decision to go public has soured relations, rather than mended them.

“Over the years that Harry has complained about his treatment by his family, he has had just one aim – to get an apology and to see his father and brother make amends,” he added.
“Harry just can’t see that complaining in private might work; complaining publicly just makes things worse, and in Harry’s case, that means more and more ties to his past being severed.”

More recently, Harry did not reunite with the King when the Invictus Games founder was nearby in May – even though they were just three miles apart – highlighting their strained relationship.
