Sources close to Prince Harry told People magazine that King Charles, who is battling cancer, has been avoiding his younger son and ignoring his calls and letters.

As Prince Harry continues his legal fight for security in his home country, his relationship with his father, who is battling cancer, is more distant than ever.

"Their relationship is… deeply strained and beyond distant, way worse when Harry was placed three rows back at his father’s coronation," British royals expert Hilary Fordwich claimed to Fox News Digital.

"It has been exacerbated by Prince Harry’s… public legal battle regarding security," she shared. "King Charles has been intentionally avoiding Harry to prevent not only legal entanglement but further hurt and drama. This is being driven also by those who are hired to protect King Charles from his courtiers, who unanimously see Harry as despicable. Reconciliation is highly unlikely in the foreseeable future."
