Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have no issues when it comes to taking direct shots at the Royal Family.
They have done so via televised and written interviews and in their Netflix series. However, when the Royal Family, including King Charles III and Prince William, go about responding to Prince Harry and Markle, it is done differently. They opt for leaks and have royal sources speak to the press.
This week, the Palace dropped a brutal piece of information that will certainly leave Prince Harry and his spouse red-faced with embarrassment.
When Kensington Place, immediately followed by Buckingham Palace, announced that Kate Middleton and King Charles would be hospitalized the same week, millions were shocked and concerned about the royals.
Soon after, the focus was on Prince Harry and Markle — with many asking if they would travel to London, if they would reach out, and if yes, how and when.
Eventually, a cleverly-worded statement was released that explained that the California-based royal had reached out to His Majesty and Princess Catherine.
A source told The Mirror: “The King and the Princess of Wales have received support from Prince Harry and Meghan regarding their health. The Duke and Duchess contacted both parties in different ways to pass on their concern and best wishes.”
Maybe it was via smoke signal; royal sources are adamant that Harry and Markle did not speak to King Charles before his hospitalization, and, it seems that they had not been able to talk to The King immediately after he was released from the hospital after the successful prostate surgery.
Reports have revealed that there is a huge possibility that Prince Harry and his wife learned of the medical issue in the news. Page Six has some details on the humiliating and heartbreaking situation: “Page Six is told that Prince Harry and Markle have not spoken personally to Charles since his 75th birthday on November 14. Sources say that Harry would have been officially informed — as with all senior family members— of his father’s health situation.”
The media outlet added: “But it is possible he first learned from reading the news on his phone. By convention, family messages are normally passed between private offices, so the alert could have come from the King’s equerry, Major Johnny Thompson, to Harry’s staff via phone call, WhatsApp message, or email. However, the public announcement was made at 3:25 p.m. UK time, which is 7:25 a.m. in California, and Harry may well have seen news alerts before he received any private message.”
With the recent developments about The King’s health, it seems that the dynamics will change a bit between the two sides. Prince Harry was able to see his father for 45 minutes.
