A source told People on July 31 that since Prince Harry rushed back to England to see his father after King Charles revealed he had cancer in February, their relationship has not improved, but has instead worsened.
A friend of Harry’s revealed that Harry’s calls were not answered by King Charles, always saying “He’s not in right now”. Harry tried to contact to ask about his father’s health but the British King never appeared on the other end of the line.

The reason is said to be that Harry was almost hopelessly worried about his family’s security when he returned home.
According to Page Six , the Invictus Games founder has asked Charles for help in restoring the security team protecting him, Meghan Markle and their two children.
“Harry is terrified and feels the only person who can do something about this is his father. Harry is determined to protect his family at all costs,” palace sources told People.
However, royal sources have insisted the idea that the Sussexes’ security is within King Charles’s control is wrong.
This has pushed the father-son relationship of the head of the British Royal Family into a state of “complete silence”.
Harry’s estrangement from the royal family began when he and his wife stepped down from royal duties in 2020 and moved to North America. The decision to leave meant the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were stripped of their security team.
In 2022, sources close to the royal family revealed that Harry felt unsafe returning to the UK without security protection. He also petitioned the British government to provide additional protection when he and his family returned home.
The team of lawyers hired by the prince, born in 1984, said he and his family needed more protection because they were facing threats from neo-Nazis and extremists.
In July, Harry maintained that stance when he revealed he did not want to bring Meghan back to the UK because of the danger.
He stressed that it only takes an extremist acting on what they have been indoctrinated with, and whether the weapon they use is a knife, acid or anything else, to really worry him.

However, the British government has its own arguments, and the people support it. In February, the London High Court ruled that Harry and his immediate family will not be entitled to police protection.
The reason is that this activity is paid for by taxpayers’ money, and Harry has given up his duty to serve the country and moved to settle in another unrelated country.
