PRINCE Harry “threw a lot of javelins at his family” with his bombshell Spare memoir and his relationship is “incredibly strained”, claimed royal experts.
Writer and broadcaster Hugo Vickers claimed that it is “highly commendable” that King Charles has never publicly responded to the biography, which made a number of digs at the royal family.

Hugo appeared on The Times royal podcast – The Royals – with Roya and Kate – to speak about the Duke of Sussex’s relationship with his family, ahead of his 40th birthday in September.
Host Roya Nikkhah, royal editor at The Sunday Times, said: “The permafrost seems pretty frozen, certainly between the brothers [Prince Harry and Prince William], and I think that relationship with his father is incredibly strained.”
Hugo agreed, saying: “However, he threw a lot of javelins at his family in that book [Spare], and I think it’s highly commendable that the King has never responded publicly to any of these things.
“So I take the view that the door is indeed left open.
“But I commend the King hugely for his restraint because to have had all those things said about you and about your second wife is pretty unattractive.”
King Charles announced earlier this year that he was undergoing cancer treatment and would be stepping back from public-facing duty just 16 months into his reign.
However, it has since been announced he is now well enough to visit Australia and Samoa in October on a royal tour.
Bombshell Spare claims
The prince’s book came hot off the heels of Harry and Meghan’s Netflix docuseries and explosive chat with Oprah Winfrey where they made a series of damning revelations, including how two royals allegedly questioned the colour of Prince Archie’s skin tone.
But there was more to come in Harry’s book, as he recalled an alleged altercation with his brother William which ended with him falling into a dog bowl.
Harry’s father King Charles was also in the firing line for criticism.

Harry laid into his father for not hugging him after the death of his mother, Diana, the late Princess of Wales.
He also revealed how William disapproved of Harry’s marriage to Meghan and once called her “difficult,” “rude” and “abrasive.”
Meanwhile, Harry branded Camilla the “villain” and a “wicked stepmother” and accused her of leaking stories to the media about Prince William.
The explosive revelations in Harry’s book Spare include:
Prince Harry claimed his brother William ‘attacked’ him in a row over Meghan Markle
Harry called his therapist instead of Meg after the confrontation with his brother
Charles pleaded with Harry and William not to ‘make his final years a misery’
The Duke of Sussex revealed the nicknames he uses with William
Harry claimed William and Kate Middleton encouraged him to wear the infamous Nazi uniform
The duke said he does want to go to King Charles’ coronation, a trailer for his ITV interview has revealed
The bombshell book accidentally went on sale early in Spain – and we got our hands on one of the first copies
Meanwhile, seven times Harry was welcomed by the Royals have been revealed
Family bond restored?
Despite any family tension, Prince Harry would put an end to the royal war with King Charles if his full security is restored, pals have claimed.
The Duke of Sussex, 39, lost the right to close protection after stepping back as a working royal.
He has since been stuck in a long-running legal battle over changing his government-funded UK security.
But friends of Harry told The Sunday Times it would be “swords down” if his security were restored.
Meanwhile an insider close to the King said Harry’s belief he controlled security matters was “mistaken”.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced on January 8, 2020, they would be stepping down as “senior” members of the Royal Family.
