Palace denies claims Prince Charles and sons William and Harry 'don't get on'
The British Royal Family are often the subject of claims about their personal relationships and what life is like behind palace walls.
Most of the time however, the Palace doesn't respond to such reports but it looks like a recent one went too far by claiming there is a "Cold War" between Prince Charles and Princes William and Harry.
According to a report published by The Daily Beast, the father-of-two and his sons "just don't get on" - a claim Clarence House have publicly denied.

"Complete fiction," they told UK's Daily Express, denying the claims.
The original piece said Wills, 36, and Harry, 33, "rarely see" Prince Charles "outside of official business".
Their anonymous source, who is reportedly "well known in the intimate circles of the higher echelons of the royal family" also alleges the Prince of Wales "hates" that William and Harry have been speaking so publicly and "emoting" about their struggles around Diana's death.
Describing the relationship between the trio as "strained" the insider says: "They are very different people and they just don’t get on. It’s as simple as that."

It's not the first time the Prince of Wales has been accused of not getting along with a family member, with the Duke of York - Prince Charles's brother, Prince Andrew - being forced to publicly deny reports.
Meanwhile, earlier this year, journalist Katie Nicholl told 9Honey Prince Charles was very supportive to the young Princes in the years following their mother's death in 1997.

Following Diana's death, Nicholl says Prince Charles was a very hands-on father and kept their home filled with photos of Diana and encouraged the boys to speak about her.
"But I think it was something they wanted to move on from," Nicholl says, adding: "Just talking about her wouldn't bring her back, it just made it harder and that's why they didn't talk about her."
