King Charles’ bitter rift with Prince Harry has now reached a breaking point — and a royal reconciliation may no longer be possible, The Post understands.

The monarch, 76, has kept a stoic silence on top of a 5,459-mile-long distance from his estranged youngest son following his and wife Meghan Markle’s decision to quit royal life in 2020.

Relations between the father-son duo have become so fractured, that palace insiders no longer believe that a reconciliation is in the cards for the feuding royals.

“There is no turning back,” royal expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News. “King Charles remains tender towards his son but can’t risk communication. Prince William now has absolutely no interest in mending fences.”

Fordwich added that the king’s inner circle says he “shouldn’t” make peace with his son “in a way that would burden Prince William’s future reign.”

“The animosity is so deep that William has shut the door on Harry. Charles is not willing to go against his heir’s wishes,” she added.

Indeed, trust — or lack thereof — remains at the heart of the rift.

An palace insider told The Post that the king “simply doesn’t trust Harry” — citing the Duke of Sussex’s explosive BBC interview, which is said to have shattered what little trust remained between them.

From the sea to NYC!

Princess Leonor of Spain arrived aboard a Spanish Navy training ship in New York City on Wednesday, dressed in a crisp white uniform adorned with black insignia.

The 19-year-old royal — who is the heir to the Spanish throne, followed by her younger sister, Sofia — appeared in good spirits alongside fellow cadets as she saluted onlookers aboard the Juan Sebastián de Elcano.

Leonor, who had kick-started her military training in 2023, will not be returning to Spain via the ship. Instead, she will fly back and rejoin her peers in Gijón on July 7, EDATV News reports.

The princess will join the Spanish Navy’s guided missile frigate Blas de Lezo there, where she is set to undertake a key segment of her naval training.

Over the past two years, Leonor has been undergoing training at the General Military Academy in Zaragoza.

Later this year, she will begin Air Force training at the General Air Academy in Santiago de la Ribera to round out her military education.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle feared that King Charles had delayed the issuing of Archie and Lilibet’s passports over the use of their HRH titles, according to a report.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex waited nearly six months for their children’s official documents to be issued — and believed that their application had been “blocked” by the monarch, The Guardian reports.

In their submitted applications, the couple listed Archie and Lilibet’s last names as Sussex — which the family had started using in place of their previous surname, Mountbatten-Windsor.

“There was clear reluctance to issue passports for the kids,” a source close to the Sussexes told the outlet.

The insider claimed Charles, 76, “hadn’t wanted Archie and Lili to carry the titles, most of all the HRH, and the British passports, once created, would be the first and perhaps the only legal proof of their names.”

Meanwhile, it was recently reported that Harry sought out his uncle Earl Spencer’s counsel about taking his late mother’s last name during a recent trip to the UK.

The source added that the Invictus Games founder had asked for his uncle’s advice out of “sheer exasperation.”

A spokesperson for the duke told The Post, “We do not comment on private issues pertaining to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s children.”

The Post understands that Harry’s meeting with Earl Spencer about the family name did go ahead, however, recent reports alleging that Spencer had warned that the legal process would be overly complex are “wholly inaccurate.”

Not everybody loves the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s dance moves.

Meghan Markle was mocked this week after sharing a rare video of her and Prince Harry dancing in the delivery room before their daughter Lilibet’s birth in 2021.

“Four years ago today, this also happened,” Markle, 43, wrote on Instagram alongside the controversial clip.

“Both of our children were a week past their due dates,” she explained, “so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn’t work – there was only one thing left to do!”

Princess Lilibet turns four today!

The Duchess of Sussex posted a black and white photo of the two of them to mark the occasion.

“Happy birthday to our beautiful girl! Four years ago today she came into our lives – and each day is brighter and better because of it," Meghan's caption said, paired with another photo taken after she was born.

The young royal's namesake stems from a nickname of her late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth.

Prince Harry and Meghan also share older son, Archie, 6.

Meghan Markle’s estranged father, Thomas Markle, has found it difficult to settle into his new life in the Philippines, The Post can reveal.

The retired TV lighting director, 80, who had previously lived in a cliffside property near the US border in Rosarito, Mexico for over a decade, moved to the other side of the world earlier this year in a desperate bid to start afresh.

His son and the “Suits” alum’s half-brother, Thomas Jr., 58, relocated with him.

Thomas Sr. had set up camp on the densely populated island of Cebu in the Philippines — moving into a $670-per-month high-rise apartment shortly after staying at a nearby 3-star hotel on the island.

However, the move has proven more challenging than expected, with insiders telling The Post that significant differences in climate, language, and lifestyle have made it difficult to get acclimated.

Queen Camilla is choosing to maintain her distance from the ongoing drama between her husband, King Charles, and his estranged youngest son, Prince Harry.

Palace sources say the queen, 77, “stays out of it” as the feud between the two camps grows increasingly bitter.

Insiders say that the Duke of Sussex’s explosive BBC interview last month poured fuel on the fire — shattering what little trust remained between him and his cancer-stricken father.

“The king and William don’t trust Harry and Meghan with any kind of confidential conversation,” royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith told People, adding that “the underlying issue is trust.”

“It wasn’t meant to be an attack, but it would be seen as one. It makes Charles reaching out even harder,” royal author Valentine Low told the outlet.

Meanwhile, “Charles: The Heart of a King” author Catherine Mayer told the outlet, “If you have that level of breach in a family, and you are estranged, you run that risk every day of having something unfathomable to deal with.”

Meghan Markle could soon have a new business partner — her very own daughter Lilibet.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, spoke to Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, about her business mindset in a bonus episode of her “Confessions of a Female Founder” podcast.

During the episode, the "Suits" alum hinted that she's considering "building something" with her and Prince Harry's 3-year-old daughter in the future. (The duo also share 6-year-old son Archie.)

“I wonder if one day I’ll be in business with Lili and we’ll be building something,” she told Knowles, 71, who spoke about founding haircare brand Cécred with her famous daughter. “That’s the best.”

“You know you have disagreements, and you have to — I’m the one to always cave,” the “Matriarch” author said of working with the 35-time Grammy winner.

“If my kids are mad at me, I can’t take it. I’ll cave. If we have a disagreement, it’s her business, so she gets the win.”

While it’s unclear exactly which business Markle hopes to join forces on with her daughter, the former actress is likely referring to her lifestyle brand As Ever, which she launched in March.

Kate Middleton’s unshakable resilience and “ruthless” discipline are forging her path to become a future queen, a royal expert has said.

The Princess of Wales, 43, is said to hold significant influence over the House of Windsor — and is already gearing up for her husband Prince William’s ascension to the throne.

According to a royal commentator, the beloved royal’s no-nonsense approach to decision-making within the Firm has prepared her for the future.

“Her emphasis on a ruthless discipline in her regimented daily routine and commitment to self-improvement has helped her,” Hilary Fordwich told Fox News.

“She divides her time meticulously between parenting, supporting the heir to the throne, and her royal duties and manages to fit in an intense workout regime.”

“Regarding her three children, she can combine tradition with a modern, more middle-class approach to family,” she added. “This, on top of her dedication to duty, is seen as essential for the monarchy’s relevance and continuity.”

An intruder was arrested for scaling the walls surrounding the historic Windsor Castle — on the same estate where Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their three children live at Adelaide Cottage.

The unnamed intruder, a man in his 30s, was arrested on suspicion of trespass and possession of drugs.

“It was a crazy thing to do and caused quite a stir but at this stage it appears there was no intent to cause any serious harm," a source told the Sun.

The Wales family moved to the Windsor residence in the summer of 2022, just before the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
