For fans of the Royal Family<\/a>, the end of the summer has been a whirlwind.<\/p>\n

Specifically, in late August, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced that they would be moving back to the UK<\/a> after residing in the US. <\/p>\n

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”.<\/p>\n

In response to the King’s memo, a representative for Meghan and Harry said<\/a> that they “were a little surprised not to have been told about this in advance”.<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

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.

Everyone’s clicking on…<\/p>\n

According to HELLO!<\/a>, Harry and the King have been in conversation, although admittedly not face-to-face. <\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n
