During an official engagement, Prince Charles disregarded queries about Prince Harry after his son slammed his parenting abilities.

While strolling about a family-run business in Cardiff, a BBC reporter spoke of the Prince of Wales about his son’s remarks “Sir, do you agree with Prince Harry about the suffering and pain in the family? Have you read his comments?”

The prince decided not to respond to the queries and kept strolling with the group.

The future king was shown around the new BCB International headquarters in Cardiff, Wales, which manufactures survival gear as well as other protective, medical, and defense equipment used by the Armed Forces, health professionals, and others, including outdoor lovers.

The gulf between Harry and Charles is said to have grown since the Duke’s candid appearance with Oprah Winfrey in March.

The Duke of Sussex discussed his relationship with his father and how he plans to raise his own children in an interview earlier this week. Harry recounted how Charles “treated me the way he was treated” on the podcast Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard.

During the conversation, the Duke made some potentially contentious remarks regarding his father, Prince Charles, and the ‘genetic pain’ he believes has been handed down through the royal family.

He went on to say, “There is no blame. I don’t think we should be pointing the finger or blaming anybody.

“But certainly when it comes to parenting, if I’ve experienced some form of pain or suffering because of the pain or suffering that perhaps my father or my parents had suffered, I’m going to make sure I break that cycle so that I don’t pass it on, basically

“It’s a lot of genetic pain and suffering that gets passed on anyway so we as parents should be doing the most we can to try and say ‘you know what, that happened to me, I’m going to make sure that doesn’t happen to you’.”

This isn’t the first time the royals have been questioned about Harry’s remarks, with Prince William replying to reporters in March.

Harry and his wife Meghan Markle moved to the United States with their son Archie last year after stepping down from their royal responsibilities.
