King Charles Ignores Prince Harry’s Calls Amid Heightened UK Security Concerns

King Charles is not picking up any phone calls from Prince Harry amidst the security concerns in the UK.

According to royal expert Tom Quinn, King Charles has had zero contact with his son. Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, he said “Despite Harry’s attacks on the royal family his father has avoided responding by attacking his son publicly, but privately, King Charles is furious. So much so that he is now refusing to take calls from his son.”

This unhappy family picture emerges as Prince Harry has seemingly hit the ‘disconnect button’ with his father, King Charles III. Before Harry’s withdrawal from the Royal Family and his move to America, both he and his brother, William, had a very close relationship with their father.

King Charles also shared a good relationship with his daughter-in-law Meghan Markle. Initially, the monarch and Meghan found common ground, fostering a budding friendship. This closeness was evident during a memorable trip to the Castle of Mey in the summer of 2018, shortly after Harry and Meghan’s wedding.

In his 2023 memoir “Spare,” Harry recounts this trip and describes a particular evening that seemed to deepen the bond between his father and his wife. “One night, over pre-dinner cocktails, Fred Astaire playing in the background, it emerged that Meg shared a birthdate with Pa’s favorite person: Gan-Gan [the Queen Mother]. August 4. ‘Amazing,’ Pa said with a smile,” Harry recalled.

The revelation that Meghan shared a birthday with the Queen Mother, a person dear to Charles, lifted his spirits. “At the memory of Gan-Gan, and the link between her and my bride, he suddenly became buoyant, telling stories I’d never heard, essentially performing, showing off for Meg.”

Despite these warm memories, Prince Harry’s relationship with his father has deteriorated, particularly after the Sussexes’ explosive Netflix docuseries “Harry and Meghan” and the publication of “Spare,” in which Harry leveled criticisms at both his father and his brother, Prince William.

According to one of the duke’s friends, communication between Harry and Charles has completely broken down. The source told People, “He gets ‘unavailable right now.’ His calls go unanswered. He has tried to reach out about the King’s health, but those calls go unanswered too.”

There was a glimmer of hope for reconciliation when Prince Harry returned to the UK following Charles’ cancer diagnosis. However, after that, the monarch completely snubbed the Duke of Sussex. When Harry returned for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games at St. Paul’s Cathedral in May, Charles didn’t meet him due to a “full schedule.”

As security concerns persist in the UK, the strained relationship between Prince Harry and King Charles III seems far from mending, leaving many wondering if reconciliation is possible.
