Prince Charles 'loves both his sons' and heir to throne would be 'saddened' if he 'lost' relationship with Prince Harry.
King Charles has been there for some of the biggest events in the lives of his sons and has shared loving embraces, glances, and laughs with them through the years.
Prince Harry Was 'Closer' to King Charles Than William in Childhood—Diana. Princess Diana said Prince Harry "is actually closer to his father than perhaps William at the moment" at the time she cooperated with a 1992 biography.
After the Prince and Princess separated in 1992, he spent more time with his sons on a one-to-one basis. As they grew older he shared his interests with them, involving them in music, painting and the theatre, taking them privately to plays at Stratford-upon-Avon.
"I was not invited."
Harry is also thought to have inherited millions from his great-grandmother, the Queen Mother. It is not known whether the late Queen left him any money.

Camilla may have been at Diana's wedding but she was not welcome at her funeral, which was watched by an estimated 2.5 billion people around the world. Still, to many her absence echoed around the ancient hall. The Queen made it clear to Charles that he could not take his paramour to the service.
Before King Charles III (then Prince Charles) married Princess Diana (then Diana Spencer) in 1981, he was apparently already smitten with his former girlfriend, Camilla Parker Bowles (then Camilla Shand, now Camilla, Queen Consort).
But the Queen Mother had an agreement that Prince Harry would get more than Prince William. So, when she passed away aged 101, the brothers had £14million to split between them, but as agreed the younger brother did better out of the deal.
In 2005, King Charles III, then the Prince of Wales married his longtime love, Camilla Parker Bowles. The marriage of the then Prince Charles and Camilla was the culmination of a love affair that spanned five decades, scandalizing England, the greater world, and Queen Elizabeth II herself.
In his early 20s, like many other young men, Charles simply wasn't ready for marriage. Not long after he met Camilla, Charles went off to serve in the navy. Camilla probably thought she could wait around forever without ever getting a proposal from the prince.
The term 'pa' has, it's thought, always been used by both Prince William and Prince Harry to address their father - even during their childhood. William also told King Charles that he had no doubt the late Queen Elizabeth, his 'very proud mother', would be 'fondly' looking down from heaven.
Sir Nicholas (another knight, lol) doesn't have an official role in the royal household, but as one of Charles's best and oldest friends, he's definitely in the inner circle. Sir Nicholas is actually the grandson of Winston Churchill, who was close to the royals during his time as prime minister.
But long before Diana, Camilla, and his children came along, young Charles endured a rather challenging adolescence. While he enjoyed the rich privileges that come with being the heir to the British throne, Charles's upbringing was plagued with high expectations, great disappointments, and even some bullying.
