King Charles is ‘subtly punishing’ Prince Harry by not speaking to him directly

Did you guys know that King Charles is “subtly punishing” Prince Harry? So says “royal expert” Duncan Larcombe, who apparently thinks “revoking royal protection, leaking the Sussexes’ location, smearing the Sussexes and evicting the Sussexes from their British home” is all very subtle work from the king. This just brings up something I’ve noted for years: these people are sadists, but they’re also very stupid and unsubtle. They’re hellbent on “punishing” the Sussexes, trying to get Harry to react to their sadism, and when he shrugs it off, they leak sh-t about how badly they’re punishing him and project all of this sh-t about how he must be feeling.

They haven’t seen or spoken to each other for over a year, but King Charles is “subtly punishing” Prince Harry over the fall out with the royal family, according to a royal expert. Royal author Duncan Larcombe says while King Charles is open to a reconciliation with his youngest son, he is still unhappy with Harry for his “betrayal”. He will now only communicate with his son through palace advisors after Harry snubbed the King’s offer of staying with him at Balmoral last month to mark the first anniversary of the Queen’s death.

Duncan said: “It appears that King Charles’ approach towards Harry now is business as usual – ‘if you want to see me you need to make an appointment’. Harry will have to get past the grey suits and jump through hoops to talk to his father. It’s very standoffish but I think that’s a way that the king is subtly punishing his son.”

Duncan says the King is still deeply upset about Harry’s treatment of his stepmother Camilla, branding her a ‘villain’ in his autobiography. He added: “Harry has said some deeply hurtful things about Camilla, and yet the King will still correspond with his son, albeit not directly. It’s remarkable really, because when Charles became King he said he loved Harry and Meghan which was a huge olive branch – which Harry then took, snapped in half and then hit him with it. That said, the King is still keeping those channels of communication open, where William isn’t. The brothers’ line of communication is completely broken.”

William is still said to be mournful of the close bond the brothers once shared, but will still not back down and offer Harry an olive branch. News this week that Meghan Markle is rumoured to be writing her memoirs reportedly left William “frustrated” because he fears that he can’t reach out to his brother without any correspondence being made public.

Duncan told Fabulous: “William and Harry’s relationship is irretrievably broken. I’m sure William is full of regret that things are the way they are, as they were once very close. They had a very strong bond as brothers and always defended each other. But Harry has offered up a betrayal that no brother should put up with. William was deeply upset by the accusations towards Kate and how Harry and Meghan almost deliberately tried to drag Kate’s name through the mud for their own gain,” Duncan added. “I can’t see how William can get past that.”

[From The Sun]

“Harry will have to get past the grey suits and jump through hoops to talk to his father.” Most recently in September, Harry spoke to the grey suits, requested a room at Windsor Castle for one night and was turned down, but then he was invited to Balmoral to stay for the night. Then Harry’s father went on a briefing spree to three different newspapers about Harry’s request and what it meant. Super-subtle!! Charles is a weak, pathetic, sadistic a–hole who treats his son like sh-t, and Charles is making it abundantly clear that he despises his daughter-in-law and his mixed-race grandchildren. As for William being “full of regret”… he’s a violent psycho who is obsessively copying everything Harry does. None of Larcombe’s statements reflect well on William and Charles.

    Camilla was cruel to Diana and Meghan
    Yet it’s ok with Charles and demands people apologize to camilla.

    • SarahCS says:

      On the subject of Camilla, the fact that poor little Charlotte is stuck on the bench next to her being completely ignored in that portrait really stands out. If protocol or whatever optics they were going for didn’t allow for her to sit in the middle at lease put an arm around her or something (I doubt that would have been nice for Charlotte but it would have looked better).

      • equality says:

        Maybe Charlotte said “keep your hands to yourself, woman”.

      • Bee (not THAT Bee) says:

        Charlotte is leaning away! It also looks like Meghan has started to realize that all is not as it seems with this family.

        The top pic I will love forever. Their expressions are all perfection! Harry looks like he would really like to punch someone (but isn’t going to). Meghan is keeping calm and carrying on. William looks constipated. Kate looks like she sucked a lemon. Charles looks like he has no idea what to do about anything, and Camzilla looks like she just remembered she left her flask at home in her other purse.

        That’s my “body language analysis” lol.

  2. Jensa says:

    What baffles me is that Charles has his people running to the press to brief them on this, AS IF HE THINKS IT’S A GOOD LOOK!?!

  3. K. Tate says:

    Harry told THE TRUTH about camilla. (I will never capitalize its name.)

    • kelleybelle says:

      Just call her the side-piece. That’s all she is.

      • tamsin says:

        If only she were Just the side-piece. She rules her so expect nothing but nastiness from her “reign.”

    • Wannabefarmer says:

      I thought I was the only one who did this! No caps ever for anyone but H&M; same for deplorable politicians.

  4. Sunshine says:

    L. You believe that Windsor/Balmoral story?

    • BlueNailsBetty says:

      Not in the least and I wish Kaiser would quit treating it like a confirmed truth.

    • Becks1 says:

      I semi-believe the Balmoral story, in that I can see Charles inviting Harry (just Harry) to balmoral to mark the anniversary of the Queen’s death, knowing Harry would say no because of WellChild and Invictus. That way Charles gets lots of “Harry snubbed Charles’ olive branch” stories out of the invitation. Do I 100% believe it? No, but I dont think its impossible.

      • Sunshine says:

        Harry would be a fool to as that man for anything and think it will not be in the daily fail within an hour.
        And I do NOT think Harry is a fool.

    • Wannabefarmer says:

      Nope. Have said so more than once, Harry would never…. It would suggest he has no pride and we KNOW that’s not the case. Its wishful thinking by the cujos, same as the Balmoral ‘story’.

      • May says:

        My first instinct, like you @wannabe, was to not believe the story. I was thinking, at this point Harry knows how horrible they are why would he want to lower himself to ask for lodging? But then I thought about his court case against RAVEC. Harry’s asking, and being denied, lodging (and hence Royal protection when on Royal property), would help his case. I think there is probably enough information before the court to confirm that there are viable threats against the Sussexes so they do need protection. If Harry can show that his family will not offer any (or reliable) protection I think that would help his case to be able to independently have protection officers. So yeah, I do believe the story. Remember, the Sussexes are playing chess.

      • Lorelei says:

        @Sunshine, the Fail is going to print whatever they want regardless of what actually happens. I think Harry is well past making decisions based on what the tabloids might say about it. Because they’ll spout lies anyway.

  5. Lili says:

    There is nothing subtle about him punishing Harry, the whole world see it for what it is . How can he interpret not going to Balmoral as a snub when he knew Harry was in the Uk for 24hrs what is wrong with him? You took his house that was a ‘Gift’ from the Queen your own mother. All the faux sentiment towards Harry and Meghan a truck can easily be driven through it as it comes across as disingenuous. And this “punishment “ of Harry leaks out to the wider world, no words of support to the GB team at Invictus

    • Sunshine says:

      It’s only “punishment” if the person cares.

      • Linda loos says:

        When I read how Charles is with Harry – his own flesh and blood , I can’t imagine how it was for Diana who he barely cared for. How she stuck it out is a testament to his young she was and how this shitty family thought she was young and malleable

  6. @BelizeEmpower says:

    Willy upset because Harry dragged Kate’s through the mud? So it was okay for Will & Kate to drag Meghan’s good name through the mud (she made Kate cry & Meghan, the bullying), but not ok for Harry to set the record straight and expose their behind the scenes arrogant, entitled, self-important, bullying behavior? Harry outed them for who they are and now everybody upset. Welp, y’all came for his wife so he came for yours…payback is a b*tch.

    • Simba's Mom says:

      👏🏼 Preach!

      • Prince 3121 says:

        Just give the old crow her apples and oats and sent her on her way. She’ll be back in the saddle in no time

    • Blithe says:

      Only “almost deliberately “ though. In other words — they didn’t, but the tabloids get to say that they did? Maybe that was an almost deliberate slip into truthiness right there….

  7. Louise177 says:

    Hasn’t Harry always gone through the courtiers, maybe even before he left? This isn’t new and it’s weird it’s being played like that.

  8. Afken says:

    by his logic Harry should never forgive Kate for the cry story and the Tatler article that not only dragged Meghan through the mud but exposed her to racial hostility. UNFORGIVABLE. William assaulted Harry and then let his friend tell a different version to Robert Lacey. How about THOSE betrayals??

  9. Libra says:

    How can we get the truth into their heads? . Spare was his story to tell and he spoke his truth. If it was offensive to them, I suggest you introduce your face to your mirror .

  10. Rapunzel says:

    Notice the attempt to make William out to be better than Pa. Coincidence? Or conspiracy? I’m not sure this is coming from BP. KP might be interested in reminding everyone how awful Chuckles is.

  11. Jan says:

    Charles and the BM didn’t know where Harry stayed when he was in London.
    Chucky days of pulling Harry’s strings are over.
    Stop the nonsense about Cain and Harry being loving brothers, every interview they did together, Cain was putting Harry down.

  12. Harry will never jump through hoops to speak to his sperm donor. Harry has moved on and you can’t punish someone who is no longer in your life. Hey Chuckles you are only poisoning yourself with all this anger nonsense why don’t you go back to the stables and brush your precious horse.

    • Jan says:

      That horse needs more than brushing, they both look like broken down hags.

    • Mary Pester says:

      @susanCollins, @kingston, @brassyrebel @rapunzel @saucy&sassy @Blithe and all my other CB friends, Jazz hands, JAIS, jaded and all the to many to mention. I just wanted to say that I miss you all on the weekend when this page isn’t up. You have no idea what it means to me as I lay in bed, being able to reach out to you all and read your comments. It’s like I’m talking to my family, and I will forever be grateful and especially to you @KAISER for creating this wonderful group. You have all made things a bit more tolerable for me ❤️ maybe I’m wishing what time I have left away, but I am always wishing for Mondays to come sooner lol

      • Puppy1 says:

        Mary, I feel the same. Weekends (especially Saturdays) are tough! I want you to know that I so look forward to reading your comments because they are on point and truly hilarious. Keep ‘em’ coming!! ♥️

      • @Mary Pester: I always love your comments Mary because you pull no punches and tell it like it is. Mary this page is up on Sunday so you don’t have to wait till Monday. I keep you in my thoughts for good things to happen for you and I hope you will have lots more time to spend reading and commenting here. Am glad you think you are talking to family because I have always believed that friends are chosen family. Stay strong Mary❤️❤️

  13. Miranda says:

    “It’s remarkable really, because when Charles became King he said he loved Harry and Meghan which was a huge olive branch…”

    Oh, deigning to express mild affection for HIS OWN SON, how fucking magnanimous! And yet they’re apparently sufficiently convinced that it will be viewed by the public as a gracious act, that they send their toadies to every tabloid in the land to shamelessly parrot this line. So fucking vile.

    • Saucy&Sassy says:

      I found that very ironic since the brf did not miss an opportunity to humiliate H&M during that LONG funeral stay. I think actions do speak louder than words.

    • Bee (not THAT Bee) says:

      “Whatever [love] means” – Charles

  14. Jais says:

    So much of this article is a lie. I don’t think it’s a new thing that Harry talks to his father through his private secretary. That didn’t happen recently. That’s been happening since the back and forth about the coronation invites. Also, tell me how specifically Meghan attacked Kate? I’ll wait. How did she attack her? By correcting a lie and then calling her a good person? So that another lie and piece of revisionism. Next lie is that the brothers once had a close bond. Harry says they never did and that was exaggerated. Sooo many lies in this piece. Finally, I bet William is jealous that Harry was able to publicly call out Camilla as a villain. William could never.

    • Shawna says:

      The “good person” remark shows that if Kate had deigned to treat Meghan well, or at least not been a b*tch, Meghan would have gone to such lengths to protect and support Kate. Really bad decision there, Wiglet.

  15. windyriver says:

    Is this about H&M’s NYC appearance at their Archewell summit tomorrow? The articles today seem like some sort of bizarre attempt to overshadow it by demonstrating Charles still has a measure of control over Harry by refusing to talk to him, and to diminish Meghan’s worth by a comparison to the Duchess of Windsor. Seriously? They don’t see how this makes the RF look? I don’t think there’s even one whole brain cell among members of that institution. Surely, there’s more important things for them to be doing? If not, the “Firm” is overstaffed.

  16. Lau says:

    This is so bad, none of it makes this family look anything else than people who are petty, cruel and unable to behave normally.

    • Mary Pester says:

      This word salad is just more of the usual bullsht. Charles never asked Harry to Balmoral. He had already said that he and his wife (I refuse to call her Queen), would quietly remember the Queen at home in Balmoral. In other words they were counting their filthy lucre and stashing all the jewels! They knew Harry had a 24 hour stop over for his well child charity so wouldn’t be seeing them. William misses Harry and their “once close relationship”. Yeah of course he misses his human shield, the one he always tried to put down and get into trouble, the brother he physically assaulted! And sorry, but Kate is a mean girl and always has been, so no, neither Harry or Megan dragged her name through the mud, keen has wallowed there for years. Harry insulted camzilla, NO he let the world see what a malicious game player she is and always was. So enough of this rubbish, Harry has left you all to swim in the sewer of your own making. So take his and Megan’s names out of your evil fking mouths

  17. kelleybelle says:

    This Larcombe character, I hope he realizes that this statement makes the king (har har) look exactly like the childish a-hole he is, right? The king of England, folks, a childish, vindictive idiot.

    • Laura D says:

      @kelleybelle – you forgot to add that he king who is also the head of the church of England. Nothing in the article is what I would expect from someone who is supposedly chosen by God!

  18. Becks1 says:

    So, he’s punishing Harry by refusing to speak to him directly? What is he, 8?

  19. aquarius64 says:

    The royal “reporters” are the most stupid human beings I have ever seen. All they do is magnify how horrible the BRF is. I still think the palaces did internal polling and found the public writ large has a low opinion of the Windsors and it’s sticking. Spare really did damage and it’s what they deserve.

  20. Amee says:

    I listened to Spare and what I came away with was that Harry and William were never as close as an observer thought. Harry gets along with everyone so that when he and William were in public together pre-Meghan there was a lot of good-natured camaraderie, but none of the BFF kind of relationship the press reported.

  21. Jan says:

    Poor Chucky, this ‘King’ thing is not going well, you thought Harry was going to come back with his tail between his leg, begging to get back in the cult.
    Meghan told Chucky, she knows he doesn’t care about her and Archie, when he took away their security, and asked him to keep it for Harry. So her not going to the ConAnation shouldn’t be a surprise.
    They have Ford Fiesta dressing in a black leather dress with a thigh high slit, to get attention.

  22. Marivic says:

    Subtle or crude punishment Harry doesn’t care really. He’s long peaced out.

  23. Maxine Branch says:

    Larcombe wrote a book on Harry when he was a very young vulnerable young man. He hung out with Harry and Harry’s circle to gain access and exploited this access. He would be out drinking with Harry and his crew, all to exploit this young vulnerable man and often talks about how he misses the old Harry. Recently he stated the press would have a good time with Harry’s kids when they turn 18 if they were in the UK. He is a despicable man who looks as though he lives on the fringes of society. His reporting days are few and far between until someone throws him a bone.

    Funny how these folks try to intimate Harry’s birth family has any control of him or his movements while in the UK. That time has passed and these folks are getting increasingly desperate for any and all things Sussexes. I too agree this story of Harry requesting board in the UK from Charles appears nonsensical and made up.

  24. B says:

    1. Is it punishment when neither side cares? Harry did the bare minimum at the coronation. He doesn’t care. Chuck continues to do the least as a parent.

    2. The dehumanization of Meghan continues. She was the most trolled person online in her brief tenure as a working royal but Harry reacting to that is somehow not as justified as Charles reacting to Harry calling Camilla dangerous in his memoir. William and Kate’s office planted stories and lies about Meghan in the press which increased her threat level and resulted in death threats. They did this because they were jealous of her popularity and to distract from their own scandals. But Harry calling it out and Meghan denying lies is wrong. Meghan is not human to them. Her dignity, safety, and reputation are all things the Brit royals and press feel entitled to exploit as they wish and they find it unforgivable that Harry has stopped them.

    3. More lies and smears. Meghan has only mentioned the left behinds once since she left and that was the Oprah interview in March 2021. Since then she’s written a children’s book, hosted a podcast, and given interviews without mentioning them. But now there are unsubstantiated rumors she’s writing a memoir and its something that would center them? Like “breaking royal protocol” its another made up reason to attack her.

    4. The brit royals continues to be insanely jealous of the attention and influence the Sussexes have. Tomorrow the Sussexes are hosting a in person summit about mental health and social media. The focus will be on parents who lost their children due to social media toxicity. Carson Daly will MC and the US Surgeon General is on the panel. Tickets to the event sold out in under an hour. The Wales announced they are going to BBC radio to discuss mental health. One event is clearly more impressive than the other so Chuck, Camilla, Will, and Kate sent their mouthpieces out to rant that the Sussexes are awful and being snubbed by 4 people.

  25. Kingston says:

    “Most recently in September, Harry spoke to the grey suits, requested a room at Windsor Castle for one night and was turned down, but then he was invited to Balmoral to stay for the night. ”

    Jeebus Christus! why dafuq is this being peddled as truth?

  26. Sunny O says:

    I nominate Charles for parent and grandparent of the year.

    /s

    Charles & Camilla are both gawd awful excuses for human beings.

  27. Amy Bee says:

    But didn’t Harry always have to make appointments to see Charles, so not much has changed to when he was a working royal in terms of communication. The press are wedded to the narrative that Harry and William were close. Harry confirmed that they were never close, so the press needs to let that go. Plus where is this story that Meghan is writing her memoir coming from? I have no doubt she will do that one day but it’s probably not going to be anytime soon.

  28. Shawna says:

    Love shouldn’t be an “olive branch” between family members. Especially for a parent, it should be a given.

  29. QuiteContrary says:

    “She’s a good person,” Meghan said, of Kate. “So much of what I have seen play out is this idea of polarity, where if you love me, you don’t have to hate her. And if you love her, you don’t need to hate me.”

    Yeah, Meghan really dragged Kate through the mud there.

    Morons.

  30. Chrissie says:

    I think the article may be accurate but it is very selective and deliberately misleading. I’m pretty sure ‘if you want to see me you need to make an appointment’ applies to every family member. I don’t think he sees any of them except on formal occasions. Camilla will be the gatekeeper. The point is if Harry was still a working royal and had married the whitest woman in England Charles would have insisted that Harry makes an appointment to see him and I think Harry understands that. The Balmoral story is a red herring as we know Charles does not use Balmoral so had Harry gone up there he wouldn’t have seen his father. The olive branch thing is something to say to the press to make him seem less shitty. I don’t think it’s working.

  31. Sweet-Pea says:

    If anyone still believes Harry called his father for anything. You still don’t know the real Harry, your obviously are still one of those who still believe the lies being spoon feed to you daily by tabloids . I have listened to the audio of Spare several times. As I listened to Harry telling his truth in his own voice regarding his birth family. It struck me that Harry knows exactly the man Charles is and his other family members. The one that he seems to still have a blind spot for is William, I got the impression he still hopes William will change. I don’t think he’s yet realized the brotherly love he feels for William is not what William feels for him. Even when Willy hurts him he’s willing to forgive him. But what sticks out immediately is that he isn’t willing to except William causing hurt or pain to his wife or children. That’s where he’s drawn an line and refuses to aloud them to cross it or deny the hurt and pain caused against
    Meghan or his children. Yes he’s sad that his father/brother refuses to except he know longer wants to be apart of the firm, and welcome him and his family to be apart of the royal family gatherings. Thanks to his 3 years outside the royal bubble and his continued therapy. He seems to have excepted that it may never happen, and he’s willing to live with knowing that he at least tried making peace. What he refuses to do for a father who hurt his mother to marry his mistress and for an brother who settled for an woman he really knew he didn’t want or love. To now lecture him and demand he walks away from an woman he does love and respect, and his children that he’s always wanted. That is an request he will never grant or except. He still can’t believe his luck that this woman loves him back. That he actually found not only a wife, but a woman that has his back and is willing to fight right beside him for their love and family. He’s still pinching himself that all he ever wanted was love n family and he now actually has it. Do anyone with common sense believe Harry’s letting them go. All he wants now is for the royals and press to back off and let him and Meghan get on with living their lives. Sadly
    he has a father, brother and tabloid press who don’t know how to except that he don’t want what they want for him. They don’t care that Harry’s found an inter-peace he never believed was possible. If he was forced back into that royal bubble it would destroy him. I don’t know what the royals and tabloids end game is, but the brain washed Harry they once knew is gone. This Harry who they refuse to except will never play the role of Spare again. Once you free your self from a cage that you were forced into, your will never aloud your self to be caged again.

  32. J.ferber says:

    I’d change “subtle punishments” to “murderous intentions.” I have always fully believed that Charles and his co-conspirators had Diana and her companions murdered. Kings and queens have always slain their own families. I believe Cleopatra plotted to kill her whole family (and succeeded). She was married to her brother when she had him bumped off. There really is nothing new under the sun.

  33. Krista says:

    Rinse and repeat. Their ridiculousness is boring (amongst many other bad qualities).

  34. blunt talker says:

    Harry’s feelings about his so-called stepmother is reasonable and honest-anybody whose father did what he did to their mother-one of the most famous women on earth-would have felt the way Harry did-Harry was old enough to know his mother and loved her dearly-you cannot bring someone in with all that taint on them and expect the children to accept them-I feel like Camilla was mean and sometimes cruel to Harry because he is so like his mother-it galled her to see Diana personal traits in her children.

  35. Over it says:

    So , I will say it as a fact . Kate is a f—-ing b——-ch. she was the one that lied about Meghan to the world and now wants to act like her baby brain is hurt , girl stfu.
    Next Wank is a d—-ck a limp racist incandescent one at that . Harry owes him nothing and they have never been close . Harry told us so in his book . Remember he basically told Harry since Elton to act like he didn’t know him . So f William the wank
    And lastly, Chucky has got to be hand crafted by satan . How can any father be so downright cruel and evil to his own child?. He shows no respect and regards for his son wife and to his son two children, who are his grandchildren. And all because he big mad that Harry told the truth about his queen side piece full time wh——re.
    Nope, I am so glad Harry is away from that entire family for lack of a better word. Hope they all reap what they sow to Harry and Meghan. And when Meghan ancestors come knocking at their doors, they will know why they f with the wrong people.

  36. Well Wisher says:

    This article is in response to the following:

    https://www.celebitchy.com/838056/king_charles_has_a_strategic_need_to_resolve_the_sussex_issue_but_still_wont_apologize/
    this was William’s take on the ongoing strategic ‘attack’ on Harry and Meghan which started some time after the wedding, culminating with the so-called ‘summit’.

    The fallout is not in their favour, in spite of denials of any course of action leading to Meghan’s and subsequently Harry’s move to the US.

    The Sussexes are still standing in truth, so ……….
    This…..
