Reports from BBC indicated that the Duke of Sussex intended to extend birthday wishes to his father, King Charles, on his 75th birthday. However, The Telegraph later made details of the alleged phone call public, emphasizing its private nature.
Royal commentator Richard Eden, writing for the Daily Mail, pointed out that this latest "breach of privacy" may have further strained relations, heightening suspicion within the Royal Family about the couple's ability to maintain confidentiality.
Eden highlighted, "The fact that details of a private conversation were published so quickly might serve as a warning ahead of any possible future invitations." He emphasized the couple's perceived reluctance to respect others' expectations of privacy as a significant factor hindering a friendly reconciliation with the Windsors.
The Telegraph reported a "warm" conversation between Charles and the Sussexes on the eve of his birthday, with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet recording a video singing a birthday song for their grandfather. Despite potential improvements in the King's relationship with his son, Eden observed, "It’s clear that Harry and Meghan are not welcome at family events."
