Harry’s Just Lost His Way a Bit”: Arthur Edwards Hopes for Royal Reconciliation
The hush-hush surrounding the UK’s royal family continues as renowned photographer Arthur Edwards MBE expressed hope for a reconciliation between Prince Harry and the Royal Family. Despite Prince Harry’s recent whirlwind tour promoting the Invictus Games, he reportedly did not meet with King Charles. Harry had requested a meeting, attributing the missed opportunity to the King’s “full schedule.”
According to The Telegraph, King Charles offered to accommodate Harry at an undisclosed royal residence due to Harry’s lack of a UK base. However, Harry declined the offer, citing concerns about staying in a “visible location with public entrance and exit points and no police protection.” Opting for a hotel stay allowed him to maintain a lower profile and move discreetly.
In an interview on Royal Exclusive with host Matt Wilkinson, Edwards elaborated on the situation, saying, “Harry’s just lost his way a bit, in my view. I think he is the prodigal son, in my view, and he’s got to think about what he’s doing and think about what damage he’s done. Everybody is capable of forgiveness and I’m sure – look, Harry, he is the prodigal son, but you know the prodigal son did return to the fold, and let’s all hope that happens one day. I hope it does happen”, via Express.
Edwards continued, “I imagine the King’s unhappy with Harry being around people where he could learn stories and hear gossip and put it in his next book or his next podcast or next radio or TV interview and it looks like he’s well-informed. Of course, the King felt very upset with the last thing Harry did, the book [Spare], especially what he said about his lovely wife Camilla.”
Edwards also touched on the royal family dynamics, stating, “Because, I mean they’re a very loved-up couple and you know, to offend our Queen, like he did in that book, you know, really upset the King. I don’t think he could easily forgive that. And I imagine the King’s had strong words with him over it. Probably the reason he didn’t want to go and stay with him was because he probably would get another lot.”
The exact location where Prince Harry was offered a room hasn’t been disclosed, but it is believed that St James’ Palace was a strong possibility. This palace is directly opposite Clarence House, where the King resides when he is in London.
A spokesperson explained to The U.S. Sun, “It, unfortunately, will not be possible due to His Majesty’s full program. The Duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon.”
As the royal family navigates these challenging times, the public remains hopeful for a reconciliation, with Edwards’ sentiments echoing the collective wish for harmony and understanding within the royal fold.
