Prince Harry has always loved his father, King Charles, a royal expert says, but one thing he’s always hated is his response to disputes with Prince William – and now the younger prince has a Father’s Day decision to make

Prince Harry has always hated the way his dad King Charles has responded to family disputes with Prince William, a royal expert has said.

The Duke of Sussex faces a Father’s Day decision as he struggles to schedule a call with his dad having not seen him for months – but is likely to send the King a “warm message” as “It’s easy to forget that Harry really does love his father”, says Tom Quinn, royal author and expert.

More than four years ago, the Duke of Sussex traded the UK for the sunny climes of Montecito, California. Along with his wife Meghan Markle, they relinquished their senior Royal duties just months prior to their move across the pond. Since settling in the US, Prince Harry has made only a handful of trips back to his native land, this year making the journey just twice.

In February, Harry rushed back to England upon learning about his father’s cancer diagnosis – during this brief visit, he spent approximately 30 minutes with his dad. He returned once more last month for an Invictus Games event at St Paul’s Cathedral but didn’t manage to meet with the King due to conflicting schedules.
