Prince Charles returned to public office on Tuesday morning – despite reports that his son Oprah Winfrey’s explosive interview left him in a “state of despair”.
The 72-year-old heir to the throne visited a COVID-19 vaccine clinic of the National Health Service in London – the morning after the cursed broadcast of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle broadcast in the UK.
Charles appeared in good spirits while thanking the helpers, Sky News said – but declined to comment on the interview when pressured by reporters.
Charles was the subject of his son’s most personal attacks, with Harry saying he was “really disappointed” by his father, but hoping the two would be able to “heal the relationship one day”.
One of Charles’ friends told Vanity Fair that the interview, which aired for the first time on Sunday in the United States, left him in a “state of despair.”
“For Prince Harry to say he was disappointed in his father, it must have been hard for Charles to say and hard to hear,” royal author Sarah Gristwood told the magazine.
“Now, at a time when Charles in general was beginning to look more like a king than he would have guessed, here is a major blow to his reputation. That his son was disappointed in him, “she said.
“It’s hard to know if Harry is aware of the damage he has done. Did he really intend to shed this harmful light on his father and family? We do not know. ”
The royal family is said to have had crisis talks during the interview, but has not yet commented on it when Charles appeared on Tuesday.
