She added: “I think the fact that people now have so much sympathy for Catherine and for Charles that I think even Harry could read the room and see that it would be extremely unwise, unkind and unforgivable in most people’s eyes if he went further now.”
The same interpretation about Harry’s decision was made by royal expert Afua Hagan on The Royal Beat. She said: “If you look at the reaction to Spare when it came out and the reaction to it the positive and negative, how the tabloids went for him after Spare came out.
“If you can imagine that in this context with the background of the King having cancer, Kate having had preventative chemotherapy this year, it was a no-go.”
Despite the family’s health battles, a reconciliation between Prince Harry and some of his royal relatives does not seem likely any time soon.
Although the duke, 40, flew over to the UK from his Montecito mansion to see the King after his cancer diagnosis, the pair are not believed to have met since, but are reportedly on talking terms.
Prince Harry is not believed to be on talking terms with his brother Prince William, 42, and sister-in-law Princess Kate, 42, despite the fact they publicly wished him a happy 40th birthday in September on official social media channels.
Over the summer, Harry and the Prince of Wales both attended a Spencer family funeral, however it is believed they avoided each other and did not speak.
They also failed to meet in September when the duke returned to London for the 2024 WellChild Awards.
