After reports of a rift, it seems Prince Harry and King Charles have in fact been in contact. Prince Harry and King Charles reportedly spoke by phone shortly after Harry, Meghan Markle and their children returned to the U.K. last month. Charles confirmed Harry and Meghan remain non-working royals and essentially private citizens, with “no change” to their status. The Sussexes were reportedly surprised by the guidance and that it was shared with the media.
