‘Deeply hurt’ Prince Charles ‘wants to mend relationship’ with Harry
Prince Charles wants to heal his ‘broken relationship’ with son Harry after he said his dad had stopped taking his calls when he decided to break from the Royals, according to a new report. The Prince of Wales is apparently ‘deeply hurt’ after hearing his son tell Oprah Winfrey in a bombshell TV interview he felt let down because he had not been able to speak to him on the phone. Prince Charles is eager to get in contact with Harry in the next few weeks to mend the rift, an unnamed friend told the Mail on Sunday. They added: ‘You are looking at a father who is deeply hurt by where he finds his relationship with his son. ‘But, after much reflection, he also realises that nothing good will come of prolonging the fight. He feels it is time to heal. ‘Now is the time to mend a broken relationship.’
Prince Charles’ wife Camilla was concerned by how upset he had been made by the fallout, the source added. They also said Prince William had to talk to his brother Harry as well after the Duke of Sussex admitted a rift has opened up between them, telling Oprah their relationship is now just ‘space.’ The royal insider said Charles intended to contact Harry ‘over the coming weeks… possibly in writing, possibly over a video call’. They added the Prince of Wales has refuted Harry’s claims the Royal Family had cut him off, and he only wanted his son to figure out a ‘workable plan’ instead of ‘constantly changing his mind’.
Dring the Oprah interview, Harry said his father ‘stopped taking my calls’ after he and his wife Meghan left the UK for Canada. He said that he had been asked to put his plans to step back as senior royals into writing instead – although he said that since then, they had been speaking on the phone again. Harry described the situation of feeling driven to leave the UK as ‘very sad it’s got to this point’. When asked if bridges had been built with Prince Charles, he said: ‘I feel really let down because he [Prince Charles] has been through something similar. He knows what pain feels like and Archie is his grandson. ‘I will always love him, but there’s a lot of hurt that’s happened. ‘I will make it one of my priorities to try and heal that relationship. ‘They only know what they know – I’ve tried to educate them through the process of being educated.’
