Prince Harry may have opened the door to reconciliation with the majority of the royal family, but things are still strained with Prince Charles, according to reports.

Almost two months have gone since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appeared on Oprah, but the impact from the shocking interview is still ongoing.

According to a source, Harry’s father, Prince Charles, is “still fuming” with his son and is “freezing” him out.

As the first in line to the throne, Charles is said to have a fresh vision for the British monarchy’s future.

“Charles is working toward a new slimmed-down monarchy and is freezing Harry out. He’s actually already out,” a source told US Weekly.

During Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s sit-down interview with Oprah Winfrey, which aired in early March, the Duke of Sussex said that when Prince Charles first moved to Canada, he stopped taking his calls. While this later reversed, the younger prince nevertheless stated, “There’s a lot to work through there.”

Harry went on to say that his father had “let him down” since he had “been through something similar”

“Archie’s his grandson,” Harry said. “But at the same time, I will always love him. There’s a lot of hurt that’s happened, and I will continue to make it one of my priorities to try and heal that relationship.”

Charles and his brother William, according to Harry, are “trapped” within the Firm’s “system.”

“To put it bluntly, it’s unlikely that we’ll be seeing Harry and Charles making amends anytime soon,” the insider stated.

“Charles is still fuming about Harry throwing shade at him and the royal family in the big interview and won’t let it drop,” the insider notes. “But to be honest, Harry didn’t go running back to Charles begging for forgiveness either. He still hasn’t forgiven his father for his lack of effort and support after he and Meghan decided to move. The reason Harry went back to the U.K. was to see the queen and to pay his respects to Prince Philip. That’s about as far as it goes.”

Following the interview, a source told Us in March that Charles did not “agree with Harry trashing his entire family in public,” and that “these matters could have easily been addressed in private.”

According to a separate source, Charles and the queen, 95, “had very different plans for how to respond” to Harry and Meghan’s charges. “Charles wanted to rebuke every claim made by Meghan and Harry and the queen wanted to take a more modest approach,” a source told Us, adding that Charles’ idea to specifically address the allegation that a member of the family was “worried about how dark Archie’s skin would be” was “overruled by other members of the family.”
