The Prince Harry fallout will 'reflect badly' on King Charles III's legacy and Prince William has been viewed as 'workshy', experts have told the New York Times in a takedown of the Royal Family.

The cancer-stricken monarch has 'had the wind taken from his sails' by the ongoing row with his son which he cannot resolve, according to royal historian Ed Owens.

He added that Harry's estranged brother Prince William 'has sometimes been seen as workshy' but was now 'gravitating toward bigger, more media-friendly events'.

And ex-BBC royal correspondent Peter Hunt told the newspaper that the King's role is to 'bring people together, and yet he can't bring people together on his doorstep'.

The Left-wing New York Times published a news analysis piece in today's paper under the headline: 'Can King Charles Heal a Royal Family Crisis Before It's Too Late?'
