Prince Harry still wants an apology from his family: royal biographer
Does anyone have a sorry they can spare?
Prince Harry, 38, is still looking for an apology from his family, according to one royal expert, as tensions continue to rage on.
“Prince Harry allegedly still wants and expects a full apology, [and] ‘recollections may vary’ continues to be the royals’ perspective on things as much as we can tell,” royal biographer Gareth Russell told Us Weekly this week, referencing the royal response to the couple’s 2021 blockbuster interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Russell was asked if Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, 42, will be invited to join the royal family in their commemoration of the first anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s death in September.
“I suppose we’ll find out one way or the other someday, whether they were invited, but I would be stunned if they had said yes and went to it,” Russell said.
The author of “The Palace: From the Tudors to the Windsors, 500 Years of British History at Hampton Court,” due out Dec. 5, also noted that he “couldn’t imagine” the couple saying yes to an invitation from the royal family as “nothing really has changed in the dynamic.”
The Post reached out to representatives for Harry and Kensington Palace for comment.
Harry and Markle haven’t been on the best terms with the royal family following a string of media appearances.
In January, Harry released his tell-all bombshell memoir “Spare,” in which he accused his brother, Prince William, 41, of physically “attacking” him in a spat about Markle.
“He set down the water, called me another name, then came at me. It all happened so fast. So very fast,” Harry wrote in his book.
“He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor,” the passage continued. “I landed on the dog’s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me. I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out.”
“Harry & Meghan,” released in December on Netflix, shared more details about why the couple decided to take a step back from their roles as working royals less than two years after marrying in 2018.
And in March 2021, Markle sat down for an explosive interview with Winfrey. Harry claimed that racism was a “large part” of why they needed to leave the UK.
Since leaving for California in 2020, Harry has only been back in the UK a few times, including for his father’s coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey in May.
He wasn’t photographed speaking with William or King Charles III, 74. He was seated in the third row, where he was blocked by Princess Anne’s large feather plume hat.
According to a new report from UK’s Closer Weekly, Kate Middleton — William’s 41-year-old wife — is trying to mend fences between Harry and his family.
“It’s obviously an extremely sensitive and delicate situation between many of the other senior royals and especially William, who has made it very clear that he is not yet ready to sit down with Harry for peace talks or any type of open dialogue for that matter,” an unidentified source explained to the outlet.
The source also alleged that throughout the familial turmoil, Middleton’s relationship with Harry has “remained intact.”
