Every cloud has a silver lining – and it seems like the silver lining in the ongoing royal feud between Prince Harry, 38, and Meghan Markle, 42, and the rest of the royal family has resulted in King Charles, 74, and Prince William, 41, forging a “stronger bond” through all the drama.
The Royal Feud Has Brought King Charles And Prince William Closer Together
The King: The Life of King Charles III author Christopher Andersen told Us Weekly last month that Prince Harry's attacks against the royal family that were in his bombshell memoir Spare, as well as during the Spare promo trail, actually brought the current monarch and future monarch closer together. "It’s been quite the ordeal for them," Andersen told the pub, adding, "They’ve come out of that with a stronger bond."
"They’ve been insulted by members of their own family. It’s been quite the ordeal for them, and I think that they kind of circled the wagon, so to speak," he explained, before going on to say that while Prince William and Kate Middleton, 41, are "naturals" at royal life, and have been "from the very beginning," Prince Harry hasn’t felt the same way, hence why he was more willing to give up royal life to move to California with his wife and children.
Interestingly, Andersen seems to think that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, as he said that he sees a lot of Prince William in his firstborn, and he believes Prince George, 10, is "surprisingly comfortable" with royal life.
Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Are Reportedly 'Not Getting' Support From Allies In California
While the royal feud may have brought King Charles and the Prince of Wales closer together, the same can't be said for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, as they are reportedly feeling more alone than ever! According to several recent reports, and Andersen's Us Weekly interview, Harry and Meghan seem to be struggling with their post-royal careers, and don’t seem to have as many "allies" in the U.S. as they did when they first arrived.
"Trying to carve out this new life for them in Hollywood, I suppose they expected the honeymoon to go on," Andersen said. "And as time passed, more and more of their allies and friends and admirers have just fallen away because they see this as a kind of a narcissistic romp through Montecito." He added, "They’re not getting the kind of support now that they had when they arrived."
