Prince William ‘weighs his father down’

King Charles is currently facing a huge crisis of emotion and its being inflicted by his oldest son especially.

Insight into the woes that are plaguing he cancer-stricken monarch comes from a well placed source familiar with the push and pull that is Prince Harry.

According to Closer magazine the source was rather candid in their breakdown.

They say “he’s had a real spring in his step since the Highgrove meeting, and it clearly means the world to him that he’s finally getting to bond with Archie and Lili.

However, its all being threated by the fight between his oldest and youngest. The source explained the emotional reaction in much greater detail in their own words, which were, “the fact that Harry and William are still openly feuding is very bothersome, it weighs His Majesty down tremendously and that stress is the last thing he needs whilst he’s still fighting cancer.”

For those unversed, this is one of the biggest breakthroughs Prince Harry’s managed with his father since he first accused the ‘men in grey suits’ of blocking him from his grandmother when she was Queen, and Megxit was fresh—now he’s retuned to the UK, residing in a private accommodation and landed barely a few months before Christmas.
