Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may be sharing pictures and videos of their children with the public – but they are still seemingly withholding Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet from their grandfather, King Charles!
According to reports, Prince Harry is still reeling because his court battle for private security didn’t go his way, and is taking it out on his father. More specifically, he is threatening to stop the monarch from seeing his grandchildren unless he gets the private security he has been longing for. And as expected, King Charles is not happy, and the ongoing royal family feud is unsurprisingly showing no signs of ending!

King Charles Is 'Furious' With Prince Harry's 'Calculated Tactic'
According to RadarOnline, a palace insider revealed that King Charles is "furious" over what’s being called a "calculated tactic" by his youngest son – one that goes beyond personal security. Prince Harry is also said to be lobbying behind the scenes to ensure he and Meghan Markle retain their royal titles when Prince William eventually takes the throne, but we don't know how successful he is going to be!
Not only does the insider think that the King will stand his ground on this occasion, but they also don't think these tactics will help Prince Harry in the long run. He seems to want to reunite with his father and brother, and said in a BBC interview a few months ago: "He won't speak to me because of this security stuff. But it would be nice to reconcile. Life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has."
However, the insider said that the Spare author has "crossed the line" due to his latest threats, leaving reconciliation completely out of the question!
Has Prince Harry Ruined Any Chances Of Reconciling With The Royal Family?
"Charles has described this privately as 'bribery in all but name,'" the insider confessed. "Withholding his access to his grandchildren as he fights cancer is just disgusting in his view, and has ruined any chances Harry had of a reconciliation with the royals."
"There's a firm sense inside the Palace that the Duke has crossed a line," a senior courtier, who reportedly wanted to remain anonymous, continued. "The suggestion that time with the children might be contingent on security funding was seen as appalling."
Royal expert Tom Quinn also weighed in, and as per RadarOnline, said: "Charles believes Harry should let bygones be bygones for the sake of Archie and Lilibet, but he senses that access to the children is being used as a bargaining chip and that, in Charles' view, is unforgivable."
