A friend of Prince William has reportedly criticized King Charles' handling of Prince Harry and Prince Andrew, describing the King as "weak." Prince Harry, who lives in the United States with his wife Meghan Markle and their children, has been estranged from the Royal Family for several years. The relationship between William and Harry is strained, with the two reportedly not having spoken for an extended period. It is speculated that William, aged 40, may meet with King Charles during an upcoming visit to the UK. The friend suggests that the King's potential meeting with Harry could repeat what they perceive as past errors, referencing the King's actions regarding Prince Andrew.
Prince Andrew, despite being a non-working member of the Royal Family since his controversial 2019 interview, has been seen at family events, including the Christmas gathering at Sandringham. The unnamed friend, speaking through a subscription email, stated that William's views on both Andrew and Harry are correct, and that King Charles is demonstrating weakness. Friends of the King, aged 76, have also indicated that the King faces a difficult situation, as any decision regarding his sons could worsen his relationship with one of them. Sources claim that reconciliation with Harry would be seen as a provocation by William, who reportedly does not trust his brother.
Prince Harry is scheduled to be in London on September 8th for the WellChild Awards, a charity event he supports. This visit will be his first since his unsuccessful appeal regarding his UK security arrangements. King Charles is also in the UK, with no planned international travel until later in September. The last time the King and Harry met in person was in February 2024. Buckingham Palace has been contacted for comment.

The friend is spot on. Charlie's appeasement of Andrew is disgusting, and now Harry's being treated unfairly too. Weak leadership, plain and simple.

Perhaps there's more complicated history behind these events that we are not aware.

It's easy to criticize from the outside. There's a lot more to this story than we are hearing.

This is a disgrace, Prince Harry is constantly shown a different story than, what is actually happening. Where is Harry's freedom of choices. Weakness in power is still weakness. Charles needs to focus more on the Royal family needs and less on his 'image'.

Weak is a good word for it. This King seems more concerned with maintaining appearances than doing what's right. Harry deserves respect.
