Prince Harry is in for a “difficult time” as he balances his relationship with King Charles and Meghan Markle, a royal author has claimed.
Angela Levin made the comment on GB News after it was announced the Duke of Sussex is flying to London to be with his father after the monarch’s shock cancer diagnosis.
Harry will leave behind his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, Archie and Lilibet, as he reunites with his father.
The Duke has endured a tumultuous relationship with the King after a series of staggering claims made in his memoir, Spare, about the monarch and his wife Queen Camilla.

Levin told GB News that Meghan “runs” the relationship with Harry and the Duke now has to choose between “pleasing” Meghan or his father.
“I think it’s going to be difficult for Harry”, she told Eamonn Holmes and Isabel Webster.

“Not the King who has always loved Harry and always had a door open, but as far as Harry is concerned, he’s a very changed person.
“He’s very determined and he has to please Meghan. It will be very difficult to him between choosing whether he does what Meghan tells him to do and what he wants to do about his father.
“He was very, very close to his father when he was younger, far closer to William, who is now very close to his father.”
Levin added that the moment may be one of an awakening for Harry where he realises how “lucky” he is to have a father like Charles.

“On the other hand, he does have a very difficult wife who runs the relationship”, he added.
Charles, according to Harry, pleaded with his sons during a tense meeting after the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral: “Please, boys. Don’t make my final years a misery.”
Harry also said Charles stopped taking his calls when he was trying to discuss stepping down as a working royal.
“My father and my brother, they are trapped. They don’t get to leave. And I have huge compassion for that,” Harry told Winfrey.
He also said Charles did not hug him when he told him his mother Diana, Princess of Wales had died, and that he believed the King was “never made” for single parenthood, but “to be fair, he tried”.
Harry also attacked the reputation of his stepmother the Queen, saying Camilla’s willingness to forge relationships with the British press made her “dangerous” and he criticised her attempts to rehabilitate her “image” at his cost, during a series of interviews to promote his book.
Harry was last seen alongside the royal family at the King’s coronation in May, but the trip was a whirlwind one with the duke leaving immediately after to return to the US on what was Archie’s fourth birthday.
