**King Charles III Faces Family Divisions as He Approaches New Milestones**
As he marks historical anniversaries, King Charles III’s efforts to unify his family are overshadowed by ongoing rifts, particularly with Prince Harry.
King Charles III, creating waves this past week with ceremonies commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Allied victory in World War II, finds his royal agenda overshadowed by family struggles, particularly regarding his estranged son, Prince Harry. As the monarch prepares for an upcoming trip to Canada, he navigates a public relations crisis stemming from Harry’s heartfelt yet distressing remarks during a BBC interview, wherein he expressed a desire for reconciliation, tied to concerns over his father’s health amid ongoing cancer treatment.
The family tensions that date back to 2020, when Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, distanced themselves from royal duties in favor of a life in California, continue to resurface, raising questions about the monarchy's stability under King Charles’s reign, now two years in. Ed Owens, a noted historian of the British monarchy, articulates the palpable uncertainty surrounding Charles's reign, stating, "It hasn’t really gotten going, nor are we sure how long it will last."
King Charles, despite the struggles at home, remains active internationally, engaging in various state responsibilities from hosting global leaders to curating music playlists. However, Prince Harry’s recent commentary turned the spotlight back to unresolved familial disputes, reflecting ongoing vulnerabilities within the House of Windsor and sparking public discourse about the monarchy’s future amidst such personal and public crises.
