Prince Harry has been told that the rest of the Royal Family remains "united" despite attacks by the Sussexes in a blunt warning from a royal expert.
The Sussexes have been regularly critical of other royals in interviews with American media since moving to the US and Harry also lashed out at them in his explosive memoir, Spare.
It has led to plenty of tension - especially between Harry and the King as well as his brother Prince William, who no longer feels that he can be trusted according to royal sources.
Harry did rush back to the UK following the announcement that Charles has cancer but only briefly met with him and then did not see him at all when he returned for an Invictus Games event last month. And on both visits he didn't meet with William.
The Royal Family has had to deal with a spate of several health issues this year - with Princess Kate the King and Sarah Ferguson all enduring their own cancer struggles - and it has put on a united front.

Kate stepped out for the first time since announcing she was having treatment for cancer at this year's Trooping the Colour in a strong show of unity.
And The Mirror's royal editor Russell Myers has warned that the Sussexes need to change their approach if they are to going to "have a relationship with the rest of the Royal Family".

"They can't go about making money off their associations with the Royal Family, hopefully, they'll see that the Royal Family are very united without them and if they do want a relationship, go forward, they need to take the steam out of their relationship and out of the things they say sometimes."
Pollsters have found that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are among the least popular royals in the UK in 2024, but they aren't scraping the bottom of the list like they have in previous years. Prince Harry is the tenth most popular royal, with a rating of 34 percent, placing him just below but a whole nine points shy of Queen Camilla, on 43 percent.
Meghan is second from the bottom, but still more than a dozen points higher than Prince Andrew, the family's least popular royal. She holds favour with 26 percent of Britons, while the Prince is the only member with a single-figure rating, having approval from just nine percent of people.
