The relationship between King Charles and Prince Harry has broken down due to a lack of trust, according to a source.
The Duke of Sussex took part in a bombshell TV interview with the BBC earlier this month.
A royal insider has called for Prince Harry to "stop fighting the world" if he wants to end his feud with the Royal Family.
The insider said: "It's taken its toll. He [Prince Harry] sees things everywhere, and he picks battles with everybody, which is tiring.
"You can't live in permanent battle mode. You're a 40-year-old man. You've got to stop fighting the world."

Even if the King were to offer an olive branch, the door is said to be firmly bolted due to the breakdown in trust.
"There is zero trust," an insider said. "The family feel that private conversations with Harry are not possible."
Royal author Robert Jobson, however, suggests a different approach.
Jobson said: "Harry should have said to his father: 'Sorry, I've got this wrong; I've made a mistake, but I want to reconcile.'
"If you read between the lines, Harry was clearly reaching out to his father.

"The only way this is going to be resolved and to stop this becoming the focus of the King's reign is for Charles to take a shot in the dark and give Harry a last chance to build bridges.
"I think that was going to happen if he hadn't said what he said. The King is someone who understands forgiveness and has made mistakes himself.
"If anyone can be the bigger man in this situation, it would be him."
Earlier this month, Prince Harry told the BBC about his hopes to "reconcile" with his family after he stepped down as a working royal in 2020.

Harry, his wife Meghan Markle and their son, Prince Archie, subsequently moved to the United States, where Harry and Meghan welcomed a daughter, Princess Lilibet.
In an interview with the BBC, Harry revealed that his father, King Charles, is no longer speaking to him, mainly because of the ongoing row over his "security" arrangements.
The father-of-two spoke of his desire to reconcile with the family, saying: "I would love reconciliation with my family, there's no point in continuing to fight anymore.
"Life is precious, I don't know how much longer my father has, he won't speak to me because of this security stuff."
However, he conceded that any reconciliation would be in his family's hands, adding: "If they don't want that, that's entirely up to them."
