Prince Harry ‘emotionally blackmailing’ cancer-stricken King Charles with UK visit demands?

Prince Harry has been accused of using his kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, as leverage in “emotionally blackmailing” his cancer stricken father King Charles amid his UK security arrangement issues.

The Duke of Sussex is keen to bring his family, including Meghan Markle, for a possible visit this summer to Sandringham House, reports suggest.

However, Harry has made it clear that he will only travel to UK if stronger security protection is provided, a privilege he lost after stepping back from royal duties in 2020.

As per OK! Magazine, an insider said that Harry would welcome an invitation from the King to spend time with the royal family.

However, palace insiders claim Harry’s conditions regarding the visit have raised concerns behind the scenes.

A source told The Sunday Times, “He’d like an invite to Sandringham. Would he go? It would depend who was there. If the king was to say, ‘Come up and spend some time with the family,’ he’d love that.”

A palace source told the publication that there would be worry over “any suggestion of using the king’s grandchildren as a form of bargaining tool.”

The report shared that it would be like old accusations that Harry would use his kids for “emotional blackmail.”
