Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Still Speak With King Charles

Even with the current upheaval and his irrevocable bond with his brother Prince William, Prince Harry remains in communication with his father, King Charles. There's still a "warmth" between the father and son, claims royal expert Omid Scobie, who is presently promoting his latest book, Endgame.

Scobie stated to People that there is still a warmth between Harry and Charles, which is a notable distinction between Charles and William's connections with Harry. Harry acknowledges, albeit grudgingly, that this is his father's nature.

Although Harry usually strikes up conversation first, Scobie noted that Meghan Markle, Harry's wife, also still speaks with the king. "Having that in his life is preferable to cutting it off entirely. As a result, kids frequently reach out when they speak," Scobie added.

The fact that Meghan even corresponds with Charles in some capacity and sends him pictures of the kids—albeit indirectly—astonished me as well. That indicates that there is willingness.

The Sussexes' representative refuted the story in a statement, saying, "Regarding an invitation to His Majesty's upcoming birthday, there has been no contact regarding U.K. media headlines." It's unfortunate that this news was misreported by the Sunday Times.
