King Charles is determined to mend the rift between Harry and Royal Family
>
King Charles still hopes to build bridges with his son Harry, Palace sources say, despite damaging claims made by the prince in his forthcoming memoir, Spare.
The head of state is said to be willing to heed the Duke of Sussex’s call and bridge the gap in hopes of attending his coronation on May 6.
The Royal Family has so far remained silent about the explosive revelations in the autobiography, which accidentally went on sale earlier this week in Spain.
The excerpts released include an alleged physical altercation between William and Harry, details of the feud between Meghan and Kate, and other derogatory passages, including about Queen Consort Camilla.

But mental health experts warned last night that the slime attacks must end if the Royal Family is ever to recover, adding that such a task becomes even more difficult under the dazzling spotlight of the world’s media.
Of the book, a Palace source told the Daily Express: “This is clearly very upsetting, but there is time between now and May.”
“Charles is the king, but first and foremost, he’s a devoted but concerned father, and naturally he wants this to be resolved.”

It comes before the prince’s interview with ITV’s Tom Bradby, in which he will say: ‘I would like to have my father back. I would like my brother back.
Dickie Arbiter, 82, who acted as the late Queen’s spokesperson for 12 years, told The Express: ‘Charles is a father and this is a family break, not an institutional or constitutional break.
‘Harry has gone mad, it is his right. But we only hear one side. We won’t hear any more because if the Royal Family is wise they will keep quiet.
‘Charles will be angry and upset because he loves his son. He is a dad, a father. Siblings fight and don’t necessarily get along. But for a father to lose his son in this way is very sad ”.
In a sneak peek from Sunday’s ITV exclusive, Harry can’t commit to attending his father’s coronation.
Mr. Inquisitor added that it would be “rude” if he wasn’t there, but that the King would have no choice but to move on.
He said that if Harry went, he would have to take a royal allegiance oath while “polls show the great British public to be hostile.”
But those hoping for a happy reunion may have to wait even longer, and one psychologist suggests it’s often impossible for those in the public eye.
Without making direct reference to Harry, Linda Blair, a clinical psychologist, told the Times that even the worst relationships can be healed ‘quietly and with time’, but only without the pressure of the spotlight.
The associate member of the British Psychological Society (BPS) said that people change their behavior when they are being watched, which often ruins the chances of reconciliation when they are under public scrutiny.
It is what is known as the Hawthorne Effect, where people act differently when they know that their consciousness is being watched.
Ms Blair said: ‘Being watched, we are different in the way we react because of how we feel. You simply cannot be without awareness or relaxation.
“There is no chance for emotions to cool and logic to intervene. It takes the lights to go out and the effort on both sides to be able to forgive each other. You cannot return to the starting point, because new things have happened, but you can return to a compatible and comfortable moment. It is always possible.
She added: ‘Whenever there is pain, it is never one way. Both sides need to come together for things to get better.’
Letizia Perna, a psychotherapist and director of services for Winston’s Wish, a children’s bereavement charity, told the Times that Harry was giving off signs of what experts call “complex grief”, which may be due to the loss of his mother. as a child and that it can remain. unresolved and really raw for so many, many years.’
She added: “It’s not because he’s not dealing with it, he’s openly talking about seeking counselling, but because he’s connected to a really ingrained sense of self and within the world, it’s really hard to break. He’s a constant trigger.
“Possibly there is some aspect of him that is experiencing ongoing images, thoughts and sensations that effectively overwhelm his body and mind and make him feel out of control.”
It comes after the Duke of Sussex described William’s ‘red fog’ in a fight over Meghan Markle before admitting to taking cannabis, magic mushrooms and cocaine in another clip from his ITV interview, which was published on Sunday.
Harry also insisted to presenter Tom Bradby that he wants reconciliation with his family, even though his memories hurt the King and plunged the royal family into its worst crisis since his mother’s death in 1997.
And in a separate sneak peek posted by Good Morning America this week, she admitted that breaking up with William would make her late mother “sad.”
Former Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown, a biographer of Princess Diana, said on Friday: “Harry has become a human hand grenade. It’s raining on the House of Windsor just at the beginning of his father’s reign.”
The Duke of Sussex has spoken out again about the alleged clash between him and his brother, the Prince of Wales, in an interview with ITV’s Tom Brady.

Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace have refused to comment on anything Harry has said on television or in his book. But a source told The Times: It’s exhausting, it’s infuriating, but it’s not distracting. It will burn itself.
Harry has alleged that there was a falling out between him and the Prince of Wales after he called Meghan Markle ‘difficult’, ‘rude’ and ‘abrasive’. Harry’s book also reveals that William warned him not to propose to her.
Royal expert Jack Royston said: “William will be furious and I can’t imagine William wanting Harry at the coronation after all that has been said.”
‘I think it is a decision that will be taken together after the discussion. Charles is obviously the King and the Prince of Wales does not trump the King.
“But William is Charles’s son, Charles and Camilla are also mentioned, I think this will be discussed by the three of them together and probably Kate as well.”
“William’s voice counts within that conversation, he doesn’t surpass the King, but his voice counts.
“It would have to be a long way because public opinion swings very slowly and one thing we’ve seen is that every time they attack royals, every time they get hit, they damage their reputation in Britain.”
Harry claimed that the standing line at Nottingham Cottage, his Kensington Palace apartment, ended with William grabbing him by the neck and throwing him to the ground, smashing a dog bowl. His back was scraped and bruised, he said.
In a recently released clip from the upcoming ITV interview with Harry, the duke said his brother was so frustrated during the incident, which reportedly took place in 2019, that he saw “red mist in it”.
“He wanted me to hit him back, but I decided against it,” he said of his brother. In the clip posted earlier today, Harry told his friend Mr Bradby: “What was different here was the level of frustration, and I’m talking about the red mist I had for so many years, and I saw this red mist in him.” . ‘
The short clip from the ITV interview, which will air on Sunday, also had Harry address Spare’s detailed drug use.
Bradby told the Duke: “There is a fair amount of drugs [in the book]. Marijuana, magic mushrooms, cocaine. I mean, that’s going to surprise people.
The duke seemed to agree, saying it was “important to acknowledge it.”
The royal also stated that she wants to reconcile with her family, something she says can’t happen without “some responsibility.”
‘I want reconciliation,’ he says, ‘but first there has to be some accountability.’ The duke also said: ‘The truth, supposedly, at this time, has only been one side of the story, right? But, there are two sides to every story.
Other rows have also cropped up in Harry’s book. William is said to have lashed out at Meghan after he insulted his wife during a meeting that was meant to “cool things off” between the couples.
The Prince and Princess of Wales invited Harry and Meghan to their apartment at Kensington Palace after a series of fights, including one in which Kate reportedly broke down in tears during a bridesmaid dress fitting. honor for charlotte
But the tea and biscuit conversation in June 2018, weeks after the Sussexes’ wedding in Windsor, escalated into another conflict because the Duchess of Sussex told Kate she must have a “baby brain because of her hormones,” according to Harry’s new memoir.
William then called Meghan “rude” to her face and “pointed a finger at her” and explained: “These things are not done here.” In an excerpt, laying bare the divide between the Sussexes and the Wales, Meghan told William: “If you don’t mind, keep your finger out of my face.”
Defending his wife, Harry writes in his new book: “Meg said she had never intentionally done anything to offend Kate and that if she had, she begged her to let her know so it wouldn’t happen again.”
