King Charles may never be able to forgive Prince Harry for the claims he made against the royal family in his memoir Spare, a royal expert has revealed as the rift between the father and son continues.
Royal biographer Christopher Andersen said the monarch loves his son but is finding it impossible to stop holding a grudge after what the Duke of Sussex wrote – especially about Queen Camilla.
Mr Andersen told Fox News Digital: “I think people have to realise that the one thing that Charles finds unforgivable is criticism of Camilla.
“Unfortunately for Harry, [he has said] some pretty devastating things about her ... I don’t think they’ll ever forgive Harry for that.”
It comes after Taylor Swift took a selfie with Prince William and his children as he celebrated his 42nd birthday at her first Eras Tour concert in Wembley Stadium on Friday.
The Prince of Wales shared a photograph of the singer taking the picture with him, Prince George and Princess Charlotte on his official Instagram account on Saturday, as he thanked the star for a “great evening”.

Inside Prince William’s birth in 1982
Prince William was born on June 21 in 1982 and was destined to be king from the moment he took his first breath.
He celebrated his 42nd birthday yesterday with his two eldest children at a Taylor Swift concert in London.
In 1982, he was then the third in line to the throne. His birth was celebrated the world over, and despite being born relatively late in the evening, royal fans gathered outside Buckingham Palace to celebrate the arrival of the new prince.

William seen sharing stage with Taylor Swift and Jon Bon Jovi in resurfaced pictures
Prince William has been seen sharing the stage with Taylor Swift and Jon Bon Jovi in resurfaced pictures and footage.
The trio performed Livin’ On A Prayer by Bon Jovi for a charity event at Kensington Palace in 2013.
Photographs show the three singing and dancing together, with Ms Swift in a white dress, and Bon Jovi and William both in suits. Bon Jovi is seen in the middle playing a guitar, while Ms Swift and the prince appear to lean in from either side to all sing into the standing microphone.
William later said he obeyed Ms Swift “like a puppy” when she asked for him to join her on stage.
The Sun reported he said in an interview in 2021: “I can't believe I'm actually telling you this story – I turn up and Jon Bon Jovi and Taylor Swift are at the event, which nearly knocked me off my feet.
“And then, I went inside, met everybody, a lot of handshaking to do those nights, a lot of chatting. I try and be charming and interactive.
“She puts her hand on my arm, looks me in the eye and says: 'Come on, William – let's go and sing.’”
He added that he was “cringing” as he remembered the performance.
