The rift between King Charles and Prince Harry appears to have deepened after shocking reports surfaced that the monarch allegedly blocked his youngest son’s request for a staggering $13 million loan. According to insiders, Harry had turned to his father in a desperate bid to secure funds amid growing financial strain and the looming collapse of a charity once closely tied to him.

The charity, which Harry had proudly served as patron, is said to be facing bankruptcy after years of financial mismanagement and dwindling donations. Supporters believe Harry’s high-profile controversies and strained ties with the royal family contributed to the decline, making it increasingly difficult for the organization to sustain itself. When the Duke of Sussex reportedly sought financial support to revive the group and protect his reputation, Charles is said to have firmly refused.
Palace sources suggest Charles’s decision was not just financial but symbolic—a statement that the monarchy will not be drawn into rescuing Harry’s personal or professional ventures, particularly those perceived as high-risk. “The King made it clear that public or private funds could not be funneled into patching up an image crisis,” one insider revealed.
The alleged rejection has left Harry humiliated, as critics now question his ability to sustain long-term commitments without the royal institution’s support. Meanwhile, Meghan has reportedly been urging Harry to find alternative solutions, but the blocked loan has intensified pressure on the Sussexes, already juggling multiple lawsuits, contracts, and public scrutiny.
Observers note this latest episode could widen the gulf between Harry and his family even further. For King Charles, however, the move is seen as reinforcing his resolve to protect the monarchy’s integrity—even at the cost of deepening personal estrangement with his son.
