Prince Harry 'can't be trusted' in fresh blow over King Charles reconciliation

faced scathing criticism from royal experts and commentators on a new documentary, Harry: Can He Ever Be Forgiven. They weighed in on his public fall-out with the Royal Family and explored whether he could ever earn their forgiveness.

Commentator Emily Andrews slammed the Duke of Sussex for speaking out on 's cancer diagnosis in his recent BBC interview and alluding to his prognosis. She stated: "For Harry to go on the national broadcaster and to say 'I don't know how long my father's got left to live,' when all the mood music from Buckingham Palace is 'Everything's fine, the King is living with Cancer' ... two quite different narratives." Emily added: "Harry has shown that he can't be trusted with private and intimate information."

Julie Montagu, Countess of Sandwich, added: "The fact that Harry shared that information about what is going on with his father, many people started to question what is happening with the King's health."

"Is the cancer back, is he in remission or not, and I don't think Harry has done himself any favours by suggesting that his father does not have a lot of time left," she added.

Earlier this month, the Royal sat down for an interview with the BBC about the prospects of returning to the UK, his relationship with his family and the anger at losing his right to automatic full security protection when visiting from the US.

During the discussion, he also touched on the health of King Charles, who is and said: "I don't know how much longer my father has, he won't speak to me because of this security stuff, but it would be nice to reconcile."

Prince Harry acknowledged that "some members of my family will never forgive me" for writing his memoir Spare, and added: "It would be nice to have that reconciliation part now. If they don't want that, that's entirely up to them."

Buckingham Palace released the devastating news about King Charles' cancer diagnosis in February 2024 and revealed it was discovered when he underwent a procedure to treat an enlarged prostate.

While they did not disclose the details of his diagnosis, they shared that he is receiving regular treatment, which has been said to be successful, although he did have a brief hospital stay in March after he suffered side effects, but was well enough in April for a state visit to Italy.

In a recent health update, King Charles is reported to have : "'I'd like to think I'm on the better side.'"
