PRINCE Harry’s growing relationship with a “tricky” individual could lead to more confrontation with the family, experts have warned.
The Duke of Sussex, 40, is said to have been growing increasingly close to late Princess Diana’s side of the family since his famous quitting of the UK.

In the latest episode of The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, expert Ingrid Seward said since his 2020 departure, the Spencer family have made an effort to include Harry in gatherings.
And in particular, the prince is becoming much closer to Diana’s brother Earl Spencer.
Speaking with The Sun’s royal editor Matt Wilkinson, Ingrid said it could see tensions rise even more as Harry’s dad King Charles “never got on” with his ex-wife’s brother Charles.
She said: “The Spencers are actually making a big effort to include Harry.
“The Spencer children, well they’re grown-up now, Harry’s cousins, he’s actually become quite close to.”
Matt then went on to ask: “Would the Royal Family be nervous about Harry becoming close with Earl Spencer?
“Are we on the road to more confrontation if he’s closer to Earl Spencer and the Spencers?”
To which Ingrid said: “Yes I suppose that’s a very good point.
“King Charles, well he was Prince Charles back then, had this big, big fall out with Earl Spencer over the funeral arrangements for Diana and they have never got on.
“He’s tricky. I think he’s a very intelligent man but he’s tricky.”
Ingrid also went on to say the relationship between Harry and the royals might stay fractured, because Diana had actually fallen out with her brother Charles shortly before her death.
“She wanted a house on the [Spencer] estate and he said: ‘No I can’t put up with the publicity and the baggage that you bring with you’.
“And she was really hurt and really angry and refused to speak to him after that.
“Then she went off on holiday with Dodi Fayed and the rest is history.”
Charles Spencer, 60, recently divorced his third wife after admitting he wanted to devote himself to his children and grandchildren.
Karen Gordon, the Countess of Spencer, and Charles wed in June 2011.
They had one daughter together, Lady Charlotte Diana Spencer, who was born in 2012 and has been raised at Althorp.
He works as a historian, journalist and broadcast as well as managing the Althorp estate, the Spencers’ ancestral seat in Northamptonshire.
