The important sign Prince Harry and Prince Charles are healing their rift
Prince Harry and his father Prince Charles have faced tensions since he left the monarchy
An important sign that Prince Harry and Prince Charles are in the process of healing their family rift has been revealed.
- Prince Harry and Prince Charles are reportedly beginning to re-form their relationship, following tensions between the Duke of Sussex and the future King.
- Harry told Oprah Winfrey that his father had stopped taking his phone calls when he and Meghan Markle swapped Frogmore Cottage near Windsor Castle for their new home in LA.
- This royal news comes after the Queen showed a 'vulnerable' side with a touching tribute to Prince Philip to mark his 100th birthday.
It has been reported by The Telegraph that Prince Harry and Prince Charles are in "regular contact" with a source hinting that the birth of Harry and Meghan's daughter Lilibet Diana could mean good things for the father and son's relationship.
The publication claims that things have "turned a corner" for the princes, following recent comments made by Harry about his father's parenting, his time in the royal spotlight as a child and the way he and Meghan were treated when they stepped back in 2020.
Prince Harry and Prince Charles had a strong relationship prior to Harry's exit from The Firm, with the Duke of Sussex having previously revealed that he and his father "could talk for hours".
However it's thought that tensions grew between the Prince of Wales and his youngest son, following Harry's recent admissions and claims in high profile interviews across the pond.
Speaking on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast this year about his childhood as a royal, Harry said he feels as though his parents, Prince Charles and Princess Diana, brought him into a "cycle of genetic pain and suffering".
Prince Harry also claimed that his dad had stopped taking his phone calls when he and Meghan moved to America, adding that he was forced to rely on his mother's inheritance money.

During a visit to the Mini Plant in Oxford, Prince Charles said, "The development of technology like electric vehicles … is vital for maintaining the health of our world for future generations, something I am only too aware of today, having recently become a grandfather for the fifth time.
"Such happy news really does remind one of the necessity of continued innovation in this area — especially around sustainable battery technology — in view of the legacy we bequeath to our grandchildren," he added, sharing a glimpse of how thrilled he for Harry and Meghan to have welcomed their baby girl.
