King Charles and Prince Harry's wounds are still raw and show no signs of mending, despite the Duke's protracted legal struggle in the UK.
The Duke of Sussex's security issues in his own nation have exacerbated the father-son relationship's problems.
A royal specialist says Harry's connection is "deeply strained and beyond distant" at the moment.
However, the King's silence says volumes, and it even serves as a blow to the Duke, who is never afraid to voice openly his assumptions and feelings about his own family.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Hilary Fordwich alleged that "King Charles has been intentionally avoiding Harry to prevent not only legal entanglements but further hurt and drama."
The expert went on to explain the scenario in his own words, saying, "This is also being driven by those who are hired to protect King Charles from his courtiers, who unanimously see Harry as despicable."
According to Fordwich, "reconciliation is highly unlikely in the foreseeable future."
He also commented on Harry's feud with his elder brother, Prince William, the heir to the British throne, stating, "It is just as awful.
"William reportedly has not responded to Harry's calls or messages."
Fordwich's claims came shortly after Harry's friends revealed that King Charles had been unavailable during each of the Duke's last three visits to the United Kingdom, including this month, despite the fact that Harry's latest court date in London was long scheduled and known prior to the king's state visit to Italy.
