“Whiny” Prince Harry is being blackballed by the royal family because none of them trust him — or Meghan Markle, according to sources in the know.
“I genuinely think nobody trusts him and that’s the bottom line. The royal family has major trust issues with him and that’s what’s at the heart of everything,” a close source said. “They don’t trust him and Meghan and that’s why they can’t have a relationship … maybe there’s room to forgive, but they won’t forget.
“Forgiveness and trust are two different things.”

This comes on the heels of Harry’s shocking BBC interview last week, in which he said he does not “know how much longer” his cancer-stricken father, King Charles, 76, has to live.
“I have total sympathy with the royal family,” said Hugo Vickers, author and friend of the royal family. “Harry is quite like this mother [the late Princess Diana]. One day, when I was at Buckingham Palace, I was shown the letter that Prince Phillip wrote to Diana in which he said, ‘Every time Charles talks to you, it’s in the Daily Mail the next day.’
“The same thing is happening now,” Vickers added. “Charles is, of course, right not to trust him. Harry is hopeless in that respect. He shouldn’t have given that interview — but none of the royal family should ever give interviews, it’s always a car crash.
In his “Spare” memoir, Harry accused William (above, with Prince George, Prince William, Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte) of assaulting him.

Page Six is also told that King Charles refused to see his youngest son when Harry jetted over to the UK for the Invictus Games 10th anniversary celebrations in April 2024.
“Harry messaged Charles and he never heard back. He wanted to talk to his dad about security stuff then, but his dad wouldn’t speak to him,” the close source detailed. “He really felt like his dad could overturn things.”
The Duke of Sussex, 40, lost a Court of Appeal challenge against the British government on Friday, over the decision to strip him of his publicly funded security detail.
Harry has argued that his private protection team in the US no longer has access to the UK intelligence information needed to keep Meghan Markle, 43, and their children — Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Liilibet, 3 — safe. Charles has only seen the children a few times.
“Harry has just got to accept [the security decision] and stop whingeing and whining,” Vickers said.
After the court decision, the duke sat down with BBC News and declared, “I can’t see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point.”
Claiming that Charles “won’t speak to me because of this security stuff,” he revealed that “there have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family” — and admitted that his “Spare” memoir helped fuel them.
While this was a shocking admission, Vickers said talking about his father’s mortality was a bridge too far.
“It was disgraceful to talk about Charles’s health, if he’s not talking to him, how does he know anything about it?” Vickers said.
The interview came after Harry’s bombshell 2023 book and 2021 tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey, as well as him speaking out about the royal family on the Netflix show, “Harry & Meghan.” The choice to talk about the family over and over is why Harry’s relatives are ghosting him, according to the source.
Buckingham Palace will not comment on the Harry situation.
Vickers noted that it was particularly bad to give an interview in the same week that the king entertained cancer sufferers and survivors at Buckingham Palace and spoke out about how he felt about his illness, putting a positive spin on things.
“Harry wrote in ‘Spare’ how the king told him, ‘Don’t make my last years miserable’ — and yet he’s done exactly that,” said Vickers.
“Enough with the ‘me, me, me’ complaints. The king has got enough on his plate. He’s got the problems of the world on his shoulders and doesn’t need a whiny son.”
