Prince Harry and Prince Charles -

In his revealing interview with Oprah, Prince Harry said that after he decided to leave the royal family, his father, Prince Charles, stopped taking his calls. It seems Harry's visit to the UK for Prince Philip's funeral didn't patch things up either, as sources told PageSix that Harry returned to the US without having a "one-on-one" chat with his father, reportedly because Charles doesn't trust him enough to speak to him alone. It's said both Prince Charles and Prince William would only agree to talk to Harry if there were witnesses, as they feared a twisted report might leak from Harry’s camp.
