Prince William "Most Upset" by Prince Harry "Needs Time to Calm Down" Before King Charles' Coronation
Publicly, the royal family has maintained a dignified silence over Prince Harry's memoir, Spare, and Harry and Meghan Markle's Netflix documentary, Harry & Meghan, but privately, there are certainly strong feelings between the two.
According to People, it is Harry's brother Prince William who is "most upset" about the book, in which Harry calls William his "sworn enemy" and claims to have been physically attacked by William.
"It's William who is the most upset and needs time to calm down," a source told People. 'He's perceived as hotheaded and brusque. But I don't think he will back down.
Royal correspondent Valentine Lowe adds that William "will be furious that his secret has been betrayed."
Meanwhile, William and Harry's father, Prince Charles, is eager for the situation to "calm down" in time for the coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London on May 6.
"It's a momentous occasion for Charles and he wants his son to attend the coronation and bear witness to it," said a source close to the royal family. 'He wants Harry back in the family. If it is not resolved, it will become part of the King's reign and there will always be talk of how the King has torn the family apart. He has a reputation of being an aloof parent, and it would be terrible for him to have that continue."
"Marie Claire" recently reported that Prince Charles has brought in Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby to help bridge the gap between the two brothers; Welby, who officiated Harry and Meghan's wedding in 2018, will officiate Charles' coronation service. He plans to do so, and a source told People, "If he can reconcile the families, that's what he wants."
As the clock ticks toward May 6, "There is sadness at the loss of the queen, but the coronation should also be a moment of joy because Charles will be crowned," one source tells OK. But this casts a big shadow," that source says of the rift between the Sussex family and the rest of the family."
The Royal Family doesn't make public statements because "they don't want to fan the flames of rifts and strife," Roe says. They know that whatever they say in statements or briefings will only prolong it." We wanted to calm things down as quickly as possible. The longer it drags on, the less hope there is for a settlement.
As May 6 approaches, much will become clear. It appears to be Prince Charles' wish to invite Harry to the coronation, but "Marie Claire" reported today that the Sussexes have not yet been invited.
