A source spoke toThe Daily Beastabout the royal’s alleged uneasy rapport with his two sons in a story published over the weekend, titled“Inside the Cold War Between Prince Charles and William and Harry.”
“They are very different people and they just don’t get on. It’s as simple as that,” the source said. “They rarely see each other outside of official business.” The insider added that Charles “hates” William and Harry’s “emoting” about the death of their mother,Princess Diana, and candor on mental health struggles.

The palace has made rare statements on the private lives of the royals before, such as when Harry confirmed he was datingMeghan Marklewith an unprecedented public statement in Nov. 2016. In it,he condemned the sexist and racist abuseshe had been subjected to in the days since their relationship was made public.
“Prince Harryis worried about Ms. Markle’s safety and is deeply disappointed that he has not been able to protect her,”the statement read.“It is not right that a few months into a relationship with him that Ms. Markle should be subjected to such a storm. He knows commentators will say this is ‘the price she has to pay’ and that ‘this is all part of the game.’ He strongly disagrees. This is not a game — it is her life and his.”
