Prince Harry is said to have called his dad King Charles for the first time in six months to wish the monarch a happy 75th birthday.
The royal, 39, has reportedly not spoken to his father since April, just before Charles’ coronation, but he’s
now apparently finally picked up the phone from his mansion in Los Angeles, where his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is also said to have spoken to the King.
A source told The Sun: “The King was extremely busy but is polite and loves his son and his grandchildren, and not so mean that he would not take a call on his birthday.”
Despite the apparent gesture, the insider says there is a long road ahead to healing the rift between Harry – who has son Archie, 4, and daughter Lilibet, 2, with his 42-year-old wife – and the royals since the publication of his bombshell memoir Spare and his and Meghan’s tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey after they left Britain for a new life in America.
