THE KING is refusing to disown Prince Harry over the royal race row - and believes he can still mend their fractured relationship.
He is broken-hearted by the latest claims to rock the family, but has vowed never to bow to pressure to cast him adrift.
A close confidant, who has known the Royal Family for six decades, told the Sunday Express that His Majesty will never give up on Harry, his wife Meghan and their two young children.
The source said: "He doesn't want to lose contact completely with Harry, because as a parent and grandparent his heart remains committed to them."
But the King has been deeply hurt after two senior royals were named in the Dutch-language edition of Omid Scobie's book Endgame. This version has since been withdrawn.
It has deepened the animosity with his son, but he feels parenting rather than punishment is the best way to build bridges.
The insider said: "It is a tricky time for Charles, but his overriding decision is that he will not completely cut off the Sussexes.
"Allegations in the book - whether or not endorsed by Harry and Meghan - are troubling for the image of the Palace but, frankly, Charles doesn’t want to go silent with Harry. They may communicate very little, but a lifeline remains.”
The Royal Family will put on a united front this week as they close ranks in the wake of the furore.
The King will appear alongside elder son Prince William and his wife Kate to “keep the show on the road” for a glittering diplomatic ceremony at Buckingham Palace.
