Prince Charles ‘more concerned with Philip’s health than Oprah interview’
The heir to the throne is reportedly 'deeply worried' about Prince Philip as he remains in hospital after a heart procedure.
Prince Charles is said to be much more concerned about his father’s health than Meghan and Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, due to air tonight in the US.
The heir to the throne is reportedly ‘deeply worried’ about Prince Philip as he remains in hospital after a heart procedure.
A source told the Mail on Sunday: ‘He is a man who feels emotions keenly and is far more concerned about the Duke of Edinburgh than whatever Oprah Winfrey is up to in California.’
The paper added that the Prince of Wales was ‘very sad’ about the expected revelations from his younger son and his wife, which will look at their decision to step back from Royal life.
However, they claimed that Prince Harry was still in touch with him though they have not talked about the contents of the interview.
A source told the paper: ‘They have maintained a close father and son relationship for a long time and they leave the work discussions to the men in grey suits.’
The paper alleged that Charles would have been irritated by his son praising Netflix series The Crown, which does not offer a flattering portrait of his relationship with Princess Diana.
Harry said that although it is fictional, it offers a ‘rough idea’ of what is like to be asked tv ‘putting duty and service above family and everything else’.
Also today, it was claimed that the Queen will ‘ignore’ the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s much-anticipated interview.
Harry and Meghan’s televised conversation will air in the US tonight before being broadcast on ITV at 9pm on Monday.
The Sunday Times reported the monarch will not watch the programme and is instead focusing on national issues, while the paper said royal courtiers have branded the interview a ‘circus’.
Meanwhile, the Sunday Express reported that The Queen’s mind is ‘only on duty and Philip’.
