In a poignant gesture following his absence from Saturday’s Trooping the Colour event, the King has seemingly reached out to his estranged son, the Duke of Sussex, on Father’s Day.

The official Royal Family account on social media shared a touching video on Sunday featuring the King and his late father, Prince Philip.

The black-and-white montage showcased moments shared between the father and son over the years.

Accompanying the video was a heartfelt statement that appeared to be directed towards the Duke of Sussex.

The message wished all fathers and those mourning the loss of a parent a peaceful Father’s Day.

There was a subtle hint towards individuals missing their parents, possibly alluding to the Duke of Sussex, although the sentiment seemed primarily intended for the late Duke of Edinburgh.

The Duke of Sussex has frequently expressed his yearning for his family members, especially his father and brother, the Prince of Wales.

Upon learning of the King’s cancer diagnosis, the Duke’s father personally contacted him to share the news.

Without delay, the Duke of Sussex embarked on an overnight journey to be by his father’s side.

Reflecting on his actions in an interview with Good Morning America, the Duke expressed his love for his family and gratitude for the chance to visit his father, even if briefly.

Regrettably, during his visit to the UK in May, the Duke of Sussex was unable to meet the King due to his tightly packed schedule.

However, the recent message from the King may signify a glimmer of hope for a potential reconciliation between father and son.

The gesture raises questions about the possibility of a renewed bond between the two.

The exchange of messages and gestures between the King and the Duke of Sussex hints at a desire for familial reconnection.
