Key moment forced charles to stop funding harry — 'enough was enough'

PRINCE HARRY'S ACTIONS 'VERY HURTFUL' FOR CHARLES SAYS JUNOR Charles has been subject to intense verbal attacks from Harry in recent months, as the Duke of Sussex publicly

accused his father of letting him “suffer” and of repeating the cycle of “genetic pain” throughout his upbringing. The Duke of Sussex also told Oprah Winfrey that his family “literally cut

me off” in “the first quarter of 2020”, meaning he and Meghan had to fall back on the £10million estate he inherited from Princess Diana. However, this claim has come under fire after

Clarence House recently released its official accounts for the last financial year — showing that Charles actually passed a large sum to the Sussexes after their official royal exit in March

2020. RELATED ARTICLES It also shows the Prince of Wales stopped funding them that summer. A source told Vanity Fair: “Charles was quite upset at the suggestions he had cut Harry off.

“Initially he didn’t and he went on to provide for some time, but there was a point when Charles decided enough was enough. “The bank of dad couldn’t keep handing out indefinitely.” This

tension over money is said to have been the tipping point behind Charles’ supposed refusal to take Harry’s calls, too. Charles decided ‘enough was enough’ when crunch moment forced Prince to

taking my calls” after he took his decision to leave the Royal Family into his own hands. However, in the Channel 5’s documentary, ‘Charles & Harry: Father and Son Divided’, commentator

Emily Andrews said: “We are told the reason that Charles stopped taking his calls is because Harry kept asking for more money. “Charles is not someone who likes confrontation so effectively

he just stopped taking his calls. “Charles does not have a mobile phone so it is just literally phoning a switchboard and asking to be put through to wherever he is.” Angela Levin, royal

biographer, added: “Prince Charles loves Harry but there comes a time when you have to say enough is enough.” Harry’s frustration over being cut off is especially confusing as he and Meghan

announced their intention to become “financially independent” when they first made their decision to step back from the Firm public. Writing on their now defunct Instagram account

@sussexroyal back in January 2020, they explained: “We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent while continuing to fully

support Her Majesty the Queen.” READ MORE:  KATE’S PRESENCE AT STATUE UNVEILING LEFT AIDES ‘AGONISING’ OVER HARRY Charles and his youngest son Harry used to be close (Image: Getty) Charles

first month of life outside of the Firm — Charles handed both of his sons £4.5million from his Duchy of Cornwall estate. It’s not clear how much money went to each Prince, but a spokesman

for Charles said that he had allotted “a substantial sum”, although “that funding ceased in the summer of last year”. Reports last year also alleged Charles gave Harry £2million to cover his

security costs in his new post-royal life. When approached about the discrepancy between these documents and Harry’s claims, a Clarence House spokesperson replied: “I wouldn’t acknowledge

that they are dramatically different. “All I can tell you are the facts.” A representative for the Sussexes hit back, and said: “You are conflating two different timelines and it’s

inaccurate to suggest that there’s a contradiction.” They said Harry’s claims were referring to the first quarter of the fiscal reporting year in the UK, which starts in April — which aligns

with the evidence from Clarence House. But many misunderstood Harry’s claim in the bombshell CBS Special back in March, including those close to the Prince of Wales. A source close to

Charles even told royal correspondent Roya Nikkhah at the time that Charles was “very upset and cut up” over his son’s claims. DON'T MISS Meghan’s ‘gushy’ book The Bench slammed as

has returned to the UK this week to attend the unveiling of Princess Diana’s memorial statue in Kensington Palace. However he is expected to only make a flying visit — and his father is

going to be in Scotland, meaning they are unlikely to cross paths or make time for peace talks. The Duke of Sussex also said in March that fixing his relationship with his father was a

priority for him moving forward. He admitted: “I feel really let down, because he’s been through something similar. “He knows what pain feels like, and this is… Archie’s his grandson. The

happened.” The two were said to have lengthy conversations after Prince Philip’s funeral in April, but these were reportedly not productive. Harry then returned to the US and continued his

tirade against his father and his upbringing — while alleging the Oprah interview was “compassionate” and “authentic”. Speaking in his docuseries on mental health, ‘The Me You Can’t See’,

Harry said: “The interview was about being real and authentic. “And hopefully sharing an experience which we know to be incredibly relatable to people around the world, despite our unique

privileged position.” He said he hoped the tell-all would “leave the door open to reconciliation” with his family, too.
