Queen tried to help
According to The Sun, a source has claimed that the Queen tried to bring the father-son duo back on speaking terms. Prince Harry is believed to have ‘bombarded’ the Queen with phone calls trying to reach his father.
Prince Harry allegedly nagged the Queen during her last months when she was put on light duties due to her worsening mobility. The source alleged that Her Majesty was not only unable or unwilling to deal with Prince Harry’s requests.
Reportedly, the late monarch asked her son Charles why he wasn’t picking up the Duke’s call and to which he replied:
Because I am not a bank.
Here’s what happened
According to the insider, King Charles asked his son to put in a request for money via email through his personal assistant. This comes after there were claims of ‘fraught phone calls’ between Charles and Harry. The insider alleged:
The late Queen was always happy to speak with Harry but when he asked for money she said, ‘Why don’t you speak to your father?’
Harry told her that Charles wasn’t taking his calls anymore.
Charles insisted that his son must email him instead. Members of the family, including William, had stopped speaking to Harry when they learned of his book deal, fearing what they said could end up in print.
Harry is not as well off as people are led to believe. He was wanting money.
When the Queen asked Charles what he was doing about it because she was fielding so many calls, he told her, ‘I’m not a bank’.
