For 35 years, Prince Charles has been besotted by his youngest son. Prince Harry wanted for nothing, and despite his many indiscretions he got away with almost everything. And when his mum Diana tragically passed, his father, understandably, only doted on him further.

STAGGERING COST
And it’s no wonder Her Majesty, 94, and Wills, 37, were against the Sussexes’ sudden departure, given last week’s startling revelation.
The UK’s Daily Mail has reported that in the two years since their wedding, Harry and Meghan, 38, have cost the royal family an eye-watering $80 million – despite the Duchess of Sussex only undertaking 72 days of work.
