WHEN Prince Harry jumped on a plane to visit his ailing father, King Charles III, on Feb. 6 — the day after Buckingham Palace revealed the monarch had been diagnosed with cancer — he anticipated an emotional reunion with his estranged dad. But the visit turned out to be a short, 30-minute business-like transaction. “Harry had hoped for a longer meeting, but things were awkward and tense,” an insider tells Star. “He was hurt, and felt like he’d been brushed aside.”
It’s all part of a royal power play as the crown’s future remains uncertain. According to a palace source, Charles, 75, was “touched” by Harry’s gesture but was reminded by his wife, Queen Camilla, and Harry’s brother and the heir to the throne, Prince William, that Harry is no longer a part of the royal family — and should be treated as such. William is concerned Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, who stepped back from royal duties and moved to the U.S. in 2020, are angling to claim a piece of the $34 billion crown estate and he is determined to persuade their dad to officially cut the rogue royals out of his will. “Charles is not obligated to leave Harry anything,” says the source, “and Camilla and William are urging him not to — they see the Sussexes as greedy fame-seekers who can’t be trusted.”
