Prince Harry has reached out to his father, Prince Charles, to have friendly
video calls ahead of the Queen’s Jubilee.
The Duke of Sussex, 37, who lives in a $14million
mansion in Montecito, California, with his wife Meghan Markle, 40, and their children were expected to
come to the UK for the Duke of Edinburgh‘s memorial service in the spring and the
Queen’s Jubilee in the summer.
However, a recent row over the Metropolitan Police providing their
security has called their return into doubt.
A source said: “There has been a definite thaw in relations between
Harry and Charles. They are on much better terms and have been having friendly
chats and video calls. It has been suggested to Harry he may live to regret any
lingering family bitterness, and he has taken that on board. There is a feeling
he is coming back more into the fold and wants to be closer to his family.”
It comes as Harry’s refusal to return without a substantial level of
security from the Met Police is said to have put the reunion in doubt. He
is seeking a judicial review of the decision to strip him of his UK police
protection team, claiming it is too dangerous to visit without Scotland Yard
bodyguards.

A former head of royal protection warned the royal ‘cannot pick and
choose’ when he wants to visit the UK and receive protection. Dai Davies
pointed out Princess Anne was nearly kidnapped and her protection officer was
shot – but she does not get full-time protection.
His comments came as sources suggested the Queen will not help her
grandson in his demand for security personnel when he comes to Britain. The
insiders claimed the Monarch has no intentions of caving into his demands for
protection from the Met and Home Office.
Meghan and Charles were previously close and are said to have shared a
bond of love of culture, art, and history.
