King Charles fears ‘legal jeopardy’ in rebuilding bridges with Prince Harry: report

King Charles is reluctant to bury the hatchet with his estranged son, Prince Harry, due to fears there could be “serious legal jeopardy” given the duke’s ongoing legal case against the UK government.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, has been embroiled in an ongoing legal battle over taxpayer-funded UK security protection for him and his family.

After London High Court’s ruled to strip the Duke and Duchess of Sussex of their protection in February, Harry has made it his mission to win it back — but has notably received zero help from the royals.

And according to a new report from The Telegraph, the cancer-stricken monarch, 75, is reluctant to even speak with his estranged son until he drops his court case against the British government.

“Here you have the infelicitous situation where the King’s son is suing the King’s ministers in the King’s courts,” a senior constitutional expert and advisor to the royal family told biographer Robert Hardman. “That is pulling the King in three directions.”

“You also have the situation where the King’s son publishes accounts of private conversations, some of which have been, shall we say, wrong,” they added, referring to The Times of London’s report that Harry “misremembered” several conversations involving the royals, which he aired out in his bombshell 2023 memoir, “Spare.”

Sources tell Hardman that the king worries his youngest son could put him on blast by saying Charles had privately offered him assurance on the matter, which in turn would result in the case’s collapse.

“So imagine the situation if the prince were to talk to his father about his court case and then later to describe that conversation — or, worse, a conversation which was not entirely accurate,” added Hardman, author of Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story.”

“There would be serious legal jeopardy. Harry would only have to say, ‘My father said this’ and a court case could collapse.”

The Post has reached out to Buckingham Palace and Harry’s reps for comment.

Earlier this year, London High Court’s ruled to strip the Sussexes of taxpayer-funded UK security protection.

The father of two was ordered to pay 90% of the UK Home Office’s legal costs for defending the court’s initial ruling.

In February, Sir Peter Lane, the judge of the High Court, ruled that there was no unlawfulness in stripping Harry and Meghan of their security in Feb. 2020.

Harry has since been granted permission to appeal the decision.
