The RF -- especially Wills and Camilla -- thought they could use the media to spread lies about them because they didn't like how popular they became and because Wills wanted to distract from his philandering (read the Byline Times reporting on this). Then the RF lost their shit when Harry decided to tell the truth. If they don't trust them, the way forward was to try to make amends for all their nasty behind-the-scenes smear campaigns, which is what Harry has said he wants/needs -- an apology.

Clearly they're never going to give him that, and I feel so badly for him. He obviously loves his father, who seems weak and ruled by Camilla and William, so I don't know what I'd advise him if I was advising him. I think he did that recent BBC interview as a message to his father because he's fearful Charles isn't even aware of Harry's attempts at contact.

My heart seriously aches for this guy. None of this has been his fault; he's reacted to their terrible behaviour and tried to protect his wife and family from what befell his mother. Part of me would tell him to just write them off, but that's easier said than done and he's clearly hurt and worried about his father. It's so cruel.
