Sources say Harry is hopeful his father might stop by his Montecito home during a planned US trip marking the 250th anniversary of American independence later this year. One insider told The Sun that despite ongoing tensions, the Duke “has mentioned several times a hope that his father can have a relationship with his grandchildren.”
Dolan, however, was merciless in his assessment.
Speaking to the Daily Express, he branded Harry’s alleged plan to use Archie and Lilibet as “secret weapons” as wildly unrealistic. “It shows just how deluded Harry is if he thinks that Charles is going to interrupt a rather important global tour to the US and make a trip to that mansion in Montecito,” Dolan said. “He’s got another thing coming.”
Doubling down on his criticism, Dolan argued that Harry’s real motivation isn’t his children — but validation.
“He wants Charles to acknowledge him and sprinkle a little bit of that royal stardust over him,” Dolan claimed. “And I don’t think it’s going to happen.”
