Royal News is once more focusing on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex after they each tried to get in touch with their fathers without much effect. While her father was in the hospital in the Philippines, Meghan wrote him a letter. And Harry briefly met King Charles earlier this year. Despite that contact, reports now suggest neither relationship has moved forward in any meaningful way. Keep scrolling to learn more.
Prince Harry And King Charles Remain At A Distance
According to reports, Prince Harry is going to miss Christmas at Sandringham once again. And this will be the seventh consecutive year he will not be celebrating with the royal family. Elsewhere, he had met King Charles in September for the first time in two years. However, sources state that their relationship remains strained.
And some insiders suggest that communication between father and son is in the right direction. However, others have dismissed that idea entirely. One source states that the claims of regular contact are “laughable.” And that the relationship is still fragile. Moreover, it was alleged that Harry thought that the aides had leaked the meeting details.
Elsewhere, this timing is notable. It’s because King Charles has recently spoken publicly about his cancer journey. The monarch called his experience with cancer “overwhelming”. Furthermore, he also shared that there will be a reduction in his treatment in the new year. And for him, it was a “personal blessing.” And even though things have been open, no signs show that there is reconciliation with his youngest son.
Moreover, Harry is also distant from the royal family. According to reports, he is still not in contact with the Prince and Princess of Wales. It happened after the publication of his memoir Spare. It included serious allegations about his relationship with William.
Royal News: Meghan Markle And Thomas Markle Show No Clear Path Forward
Meghan, on the other hand, had just written a letter to her father, Thomas Markle whom she hadn’t been on good terms. He was in a hospital in the Philippines after a major surgery. The man, aged 81, had a surgical procedure which ended with the removal of his left leg due to complications that arose from a blood clot.
However, despite this outreach, sources have warned against reading too much into the gesture. One source says it is “too soon to say” whether there will be any reunion. Moreover, a meaningful reconciliation is unlikely. Even Thomas admits that the situation is quite uncertain. He expressed his desire to talk with his daughter. Yet at the same time, he doubted if the conditions were appropriate.
Moreover, Meghan chose to write a letter and not contact by phone. It was because she was concerned that any call could be leaked to the media. Claims also suggest that she no longer has her father’s phone number. So any direct communication is impossible. For more Royal News and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
