‘Punished’ Prince Harry ‘snapped’ olive branch extended by King Charles: royal expert

King Charles has seemingly tried to extend an olive branch to his younger son Prince Harry in an attempt to make peace.

But the Duke of Sussex, 39, has “snapped it in half” by not reconciling with his father and brother Prince William, according to royal expert Duncan Larcombe.

The commentator told The Sun recently that the monarch, 74, is also allegedly “punishing” Harry for the things he wrote in his memoir, “Spare.”

“Harry has said some deeply hurtful things about [Queen] Camilla, and yet the King will still correspond with his son, albeit not directly,” Larcombe claimed.

The “Prince Harry: the Inside Story” author went on: “It’s remarkable really, because when Charles became King, he said he loved Harry and Meghan which was a huge olive branch — which Harry then took, snapped in half and then hit him with it.”

He added that Charles’ “approach towards Harry now is business as usual.”

Larcombe noted that the sovereign upholds the idea that “if you want to see me you need to make an appointment.”

“Harry will have to get past the grey suits and jump through hoops to talk to his father. It’s very standoffish but I think that’s a way that the king is subtly punishing his son,” he claimed.

In his 400-page book, Harry dropped a plethora of bombshell claims about William, 41, his stepmom Camilla, 75, and Charles.

Explosive anecdotes about referring to William as his “arch-nemesis” and how the Prince of Wales physically attacked him were penned in the book.

In one excerpt, Harry alleged he fought with William at Nottingham Cottage over wife Meghan Markle in 2019, with William calling the “Suits” alum, 42, “difficult,” “rude” and “abrasive.”

“It all happened so fast. … He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor,” he scribed about the alleged fight.

“I landed on the dog’s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me,” he continued. “I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out.”

Another tidbit from the memoir includes how he felt the first time he met Camilla. Harry compared seeing her for the first time to getting injected with a needle.

“This is nothing. Close your eyes and you won’t even feel it,” Harry wrote of meeting Camilla, whom he even gave the moniker of his “wicked stepmother.”
