Prince Harry allegedly wrote a ‘deeply personal’ letter to Father Charles before his British homecoming – the only way he could reach him after a “complete communication outline.”
Harry, who apprehended Oprah Winfrey that his father no longer takes calls, pinned down the mission from his California mansion before leaving for Grandpa Prince Philip’s funeral, The Mirror said.
He was ‘forced to write letters’ due to a ‘complete communication outline’, a source close to Harry told the British newspaper.
The Duke of Sussex earlier admitted to Gayle King that an initial call with his father in the wake of his explosive Oprah-tell-all was “not productive.”
In his letter, Harry (36) confirms his ‘reasons why he had to leave life in the UK as a senior royal’, while promising to respect the institution of the monarchy, sources told The Mirror.
After Philip’s funeral on Saturday, Harry had personal time with his father and met him and his brother, Prince William, at Harry’s former British home, Frogmore Cottage, numerous British reports said.
Initially, William’s wife, the alleged “peacemaker” Kate Middleton, joined them, but she left after about two hours so that the brothers and their father could distort their differences, sources told The Sun.
“Harry clearly feels he is inferior because there are three of them, and only one of him wants it to be on his home field,” a source said the meeting was at Frogmore.
Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank – who currently lives in the cottage – made themselves ‘scarce’ when the group arrived and ‘hammered things out’, a source told the newspaper.
As a sign of mistrust, Harry arose with his TV interview, Charles (72) and William (38) insisted on meeting him, a source told MailOnline.
‘It was important to Charles and William that they were both there. “This means nothing that is talked about can be misinterpreted in the future,” said a source.
Another source told the outlet that it was only the first in one of many ‘baby steps’ in reconciliation efforts.
