Prince Charles 'absolutely furious' at Harry and William feud after trying to help Meghan
PRINCE CHARLES is reportedly “absolutely furious” over a growing feud between his two sons following an explosive ITV documentary that has caused major rifts in the Royal Family.
Prince Harry: William and I are on different paths
The paper claims Charles is adamant he has supported Harry and Meghan Markle, and was let down when his daughter-in-law allegedly snubbed a meeting with him at the last minute.
Despite this, Charles, who yesterday dropped in on a training session of the Welsh rugby team in Tokyo, will reportedly stand by the couple and publicly defend them.
Over the last few years, the Duke and Duchess have unsuccessfully evaded the eye of the tabloid media.
In the ITV documentary, ‘Meghan and Harry: An African Journey’, the couple gave several telling interviews to journalists in what seemed to be an attempt to humanise their situation.
The pair, however, have since been castigated for their revelations.
All of this has snowballed since Harry confirmed reports that he was entangled in a disagreements with his brother, William.
The Sun reports that sources close to William claim Meghan and Harry are “fragile”, since the Duchess used a segment of the documentary to slam the British stiff upper lip tradition as “damaging”.
The attempt at reconciliation was not helped by reports that sources close to Harry and Meghan claimed the couple to have “single-handedly” modernised the monarchy.
Many took this as an attack on the Queen, with sources furious it overshadowed Charles’ work, as well as Prince William and Kate's royal tour to Pakistan this month.

The royal source said: “The Prince of Wales is very busy at the moment touring Japan, including a visit with the Welsh rugby team.
“But the point is that this whole kerfuffle has completely undermined the work he is doing, just as it undermined the work Prince William and Kate were doing in Pakistan.
“To do it to your brother is one thing. To do it to your father and paymaster is a completely different matter altogether.”
Staff at Clarence House are said to be disappointed that the two-part ITV documentary on Prince Charles has gone largely ignored as a result of what has ensued.
The documentary entitled ‘Prince Charles: Inside the Duchy of Cornwall’ looks into Charles’ life.

The source told The Sun: “This is a documentary about his life’s work and it really meant a lot to him.
“It’s been completely and utterly annihilated, all because these two think they’ve reinvented the wheel.”
Charles is “worrying about Harry in the same way he did Diana", according to the source, who added: “It’s a real shame that Harry and Meghan didn’t go to Balmoral. That’s where the family talk about these things.
“There has also been at least one occasion when Charles invited Meghan to an event, she accepted and then didn’t turn up.
"You can’t do that. When the Royal Family send you an invitation you go, short of dying.
“There’s no reason why you shouldn’t be there.”
