According to royal commentator
Mark Dolan, King Charles III and
Prince William are not happy with
Prince Harry's lawsuit against the British press. "It's a shocking move," he
said on "The Daily Expresso" podcast. "King Charles is, to my understanding, furious about this. The royals do not sue newspapers."

Amid reports that
Prince Harry wants to mend his relationship with King Charles III, this could halt their progress. "He [Harry] considers himself to be this free, independent sovereign individual, a citizen of the world, but he's still got the word 'prince' at the beginning of his name and he's still the son of the King," Mark Dolan said. "It's going to do him no favors in his relationship with King Charles."

The court case is said to especially upset
Prince William, who shows no signs of patching up his relationship with
Prince Harry. "William has been implicated in some of these court papers in reference to photographs of
Princess Diana before she passed," Mark Dolan said.

Prince Harry appeared in London's High Court alongside
Elton John,
Elizabeth Hurley and other A-listers, who have taken legal action against the
Daily Mail and
Mail on Sunday. They accused the outlets of unlawful information gathering, including phone hacking, bugging and impersonation for private records spanning multiple decades.
