Prince Harry had a genuine hope that Prince William and King Charles would reach out to him after the release of his memoir, Spare, according to a new Vanity Fair article.
Despite the explosive claims made in the book, a source close to Harry revealed that the Duke of Sussex expressed disappointment at not receiving any communication from his royal family members following its publication.
The source told the publication that Harry seemed deeply saddened by the lack of contact, suggesting that he had not fully understood the weight of his words or the ramifications of the memoir’s accusations.
The article highlights the stark contrast between Harry’s hopes for a family response and the public fallout from the book.
In the aftermath, Harry had limited interactions with his family, including a brief visit with King Charles in February 2024 amid the monarch’s health struggles.
This was their first formal meeting since Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in 2022. Additionally, Harry and William were seen together in August 2024 at their uncle’s funeral, but reports indicated that the brothers did not engage in conversation.
