A royal expert has claimed that Prince Harry is punishing his father, King Charles by using his children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.
The claims have been made by Royal author and commentator Tom Quinn, who says Prince Harry is using his children to battle with his father King Charles just like he and his brother were used when their parents were going through troubles in their marriage. In an old interview, Prince Harry acknowledged after his parents’s separation, he didn’t see enough of either of them. Tom Quinn labelled Prince Harry “obsessive” for his “desire to punish his father” for past wrongs. Adding that Harry is using his children as “bargaining chips” when it comes to Charles, despite the King’s wishes that his son let bygones be bygones.

The royal author and commentator said: “His [Harry’s] desire to punish his father for not apologising for the past has become obsessive and it is ironic that he is now using his children in the battle with his father just as King Charles and Diana used William and Harry in their battles. Despite Harry’s attacks on the royal family his father has avoided responding by attacking his son publicly, but privately King Charles is furious. So much so that he is now refusing to take calls from his son.
“Charles believes Harry should let bygones be bygones for the sake of Archie and Lilibet, but he senses that access to the children is being used as a bargaining chip and that, in Charles’ view, is unforgivable.” The Royal Family has stayed largely silent about Meghan and Harry’s claims since they stepped down from the Firm back in 2020. According to the expert privately King Charles is said to be furious and is ignoring his son’s calls. Reports have said when Harry does call his father he is told that he is “unavailable right now,” but it is important to note that the father and son did speak after the King’s cancer announcement. It’s also been reported that Harry feels that King Charles is the only person who can help Harry keep his wife Meghan Markle safe.
In another interview with People magazine who spoke to a Royal insider, it was claimed that King Charles’s silence is because of his past experiences with his former wife and Harry’s mother Princess Diana who took to the press post their marriage breakdown. People magazine reported an insider said: “Charles’ fear is a repeat of the past. When his wife divorced the institution, she took over the headlines, overshadowed his work and became a global superstar. Seeing his son leave with his wife was not part of the plan.”
