Prince Harry: Angry at Charles for refusing to put Meghan Markle on …
With King Charles' coronation just weeks away, the relationship between the monarch and his youngest son is coming under closer scrutiny than ever. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have were invited to the ceremony, but it's unclear if they plan to attend. And this uncertainty is no accident.
Harry and Meghan have failed to get in touch and it seems the pair are using the Palace's fears to their advantage.

For starters, Charles is and always has been the absolute worst. What's more, the king has been a nuisance to Harry throughout his life, and the abuse has become even more extreme in the years since Meghan entered the picture.

According to Jobson, when Harry told the family he intended to marry Meghan, William responded by asking if he was sure, and Charles immediately stated that Meghan would not may be included in the family payslip. "Charles dropped a bombshell saying he couldn't afford to pay for Meghan, Camilla, William and Catherine and their young family going forward. This made Harry angry," Jobson wrote Our King: Charles III: The Man and the Monarch Revealed.

"When the Queen asked Charles why he hadn't backed down, he told her he wasn't a bank," Jobson wrote. The author also quoted a source as saying that Harry spoke to the Queen frequently on the phone after he and Meghan moved to California.

"She didn't want to interfere in the father-son relationship and urged him to talk to his father."

Needless to say, this situation is far more complicated than a simple coronation invitation.
And Harry's presence or absence says one much about his current feelings towards his father.
