Prince Harry leaves King Charles furious with 'calculated tactic' regarding Lilibet, Archie

Prince Harry has reportedly left his father King Charles furious with "calculated tactic" regarding his children Lilibet and Archie, with an insider claiming the ‘Duke has crossed a line.’

The insider told the Radar Online, King Charles has been left deeply shaken by what he views as a "calculated tactic."

The source says the monarch is now "disgusted" at Prince Harry and his wife Meghan as they attempted to leverage access to Archie and Lilibet in exchange for greater security guarantees and to guarantee they can hold onto their royal titles after the king dies.

The insider says: "Charles has described this privately as 'bribery in all but name.'

"Withholding his access to his grandchildren as he fights cancer is just disgusting in his view, and has ruined any chances Harry had of a reconciliation with the royals."

The outlet, citing a senior courtier, reported: "There's a firm sense inside the Palace that the Duke has crossed a line. The suggestion that time with the children might be contingent on security funding was seen as appalling."

Meanwhile, royal expert Tom Quinn has said: "Charles believes Harry should let bygones be bygones for the sake of Archie and Lilibet, but he senses that access to the children is being used as a bargaining chip and that, in Charles' view, is unforgivable."
