Indeed, according to a separate excerpt from “Spare” obtained by Page Six, King Charles didn’t even give his son a hug after relaying the news that his mother, Princess Diana, had died. “Pa didn’t hug me,” Prince Harry wrote. “He wasn’t great at showing emotions under normal circumstances, how could he be expected to show them in such a crisis?” Still, according to Harry, he seemed to be doing the best he could. “His hand did fall once more on my knee and he said, ‘It’s going to be OK.’ That was quite a lot for him. Fatherly, hopeful, kind. And so very untrue.”

This appears to be one area where Prince Harry is willing to give his dad a little bit of a pass. In a BBC documentary “Diana, 7 Days,” Harry said of King Charles, “But you know, he was there for us, He was the one out of two left, and he tried to do his best and to make sure that we were protected and looked after” (via Today). He added, “But … he was going through the same grieving process as well.”
