King ain’t sweating Harry

-

KING Charles III isn’t tormented over Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

“I don’t think [Charles and Queen Consort Camilla] are obsessing about it the way that we are,” British television host and author Gyles Brandreth told The Post’s Nicki Gostin exclusivel­y in a new interview.

“They are just getting on with it,” he added, noting that the royal family has been busy preparing for the monarch’s coronation in two weeks. Brandreth points to Charles’ “very good” first speech as king in September as evidence that he’s letting his son and daughterin-law live their own lives in California.

“He settled [it],” the BBC Radio personalit­y told us. “He announced that William was going to be the Prince of Wales. He sort of made the situation clear and wished Harry and Meghan love . . . as they build their life overseas. In [Britain], I think we’ve accepted, ‘Well, that’s what they’re doing’ . . . We’re just getting on with it.”

Brandreth, 75, has met Charles, 74, and Camilla, 75, many times over the years.

“I’m lucky enough to go to Clarence House for events to do with charities and things,” he said. “I’m a trustee of something called the Queen’s Reading Room, which is a real passion project of the new queen.”

The frequent “This Morning” guest shared that “when you go through” Charles and Camilla’s London residence, “there are pictures of Harry and Meghan” on “the piano [and] on the mantelpiec­e.”

The royal family has had a tense relationsh­ip with Harry, 38, and Markle, 41, since the couple quit their duties in 2020 and moved stateside. However, after fevered speculatio­n, Buckingham Palace announced last week that the Duke of Sussex will attend his father’s coronation on May 6 — without his wife.

“The Duchess of Sussex will remain in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet,” a palace spokespers­on told Page Six. The historic event falls on the same day as Archie’s fourth birthday.
