For several years now, King Charles’s relationship with Prince Harry has been strained, so much so that he even refused phone calls from his son.
A contentious relationship. By signing their departure from the royal family, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle knew they were going to have to face serious financial repercussions. Thus, they had to renounce all public remuneration and lost their police protection, ensured by their membership of the royal family. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have also been ordered to pay rent for Frogmore Cottage, their home in Windsor, and repay the £2.4million spent on its renovation to the taxpayer. Significant consequences on their lifestyle which would have probably contributed to the deterioration of the relationship between Prince Harry and his father, King Charles III.
When Queen Elizabeth II was still alive, she reportedly tried to appease relationship between son and grandson. “The late Queen was always happy to talk to Harry, but when he asked her for money she said: ‘Why don’t you talk to your father?’ Harry replied that Charles no longer takes his calls”a source told the British tabloid The Sun. The Queen would then have asked her son why he no longer answered the phone, to which the new king would have replied: “I am not a bank.” An indiscretion that could say a lot on the state of family relations.
