Prince Harry Accused of Using Kids in ‘Emotional Blackmail’ of King Charles
Relations between Prince Harry and his father have sunk to a new nadir in the increasingly vituperative row over Harry’s security.
Friends of King Charles III told The Daily Beast Prince Harry is using “emotional blackmail” by dangling the threat of the king never again meeting his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet. They alleged that Harry is trying to put pressure on the monarch to use his influence to get Harry and his family automatic security while in the U.K.
However, a source close to Harry rejected that notion, telling The Daily Beast that vile “neo-Nazi and extremist” threats to Harry were very real, and that one of the main reasons the prince wanted U.K. police security was so his children could get to “know his home country.” The source pointed out that Harry had even offered “to cover the cost of security, so as not to impose on the British taxpayer.”
