For fans of the Royal Family, the end of the summer has been a whirlwind.
Specifically, in late August, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced that they would be moving back to the UK after residing in the US.
The unexpected announcement has generated countless headlines, which have only intensified recently after King Charles’ statement that the couple would remain non-working royals and “private citizens”.
In response to the King’s memo, a representative for Meghan and Harry said that they “were a little surprised not to have been told about this in advance”.
However, while various news reports have suggested that the father and son have not yet talked since Harry returned to the UK, fresh information has come to light.

To recap: when Harry reached the UK, the King was at Balmoral, his Scottish holiday home: perhaps prohibiting any in-persona meetings or sightings. But that doesn’t mean the two haven’t been in touch.

According to HELLO!, Harry and the King have been in conversation, although admittedly not face-to-face.
This has also been suggested by Australian royal reporter Bronte Coy, who spoke on This Morning, saying: “I can tell you, actually, just from this morning, I’ve heard. They haven’t met face to face yet. But my understanding is that they have spoken on the phone.”
It seems like the relationship between the father and the son is warming as Harry and Meghan re-acclimatise to the UK and build bridges with their family.
