Did Harry really call his father or not?
Why so many games when it comes to a simple phone call?
Hello and welcome to Kate Middleton and the Queen Channel.
Five years ago, who would have thought that a simple phone call supposedly made by a son to his father on his birthday would make so many news headlines?
As we previously reported, King Charles celebrated his 75th birthday on Tuesday.
He spent the day launching a new project to help people facing food insecurity and hosted NHS health professionals at Buckingham Palace in honor of the NHS turning 75 this year.
Later, he enjoyed a nice dinner with friends and family at Clarence House.
However, overshadowing all of that was the alleged phone call made by Prince Harry to King Charles.
Even the Invisible Kids supposedly got in on it, videoing themselves singing happy birthday.
But now, there are reports that the phone call may not have happened at all.
So, let’s see what we know so far.
Yesterday, numerous media outlets reported that Harry had made the phone call to his father.
However, the Express published an article claiming that Harry may not have spoken to King Charles at all.
According to a well-placed source, the story of Harry planning to make the call originated from people linked to the Sussex camp.
It was an attempt to mop up the fallout from not being invited to the King’s birthday celebrations.
While it is clear that most of the articles about Harry making the phone call came from their team, can we trust that it’s true?
The palace did not confirm or deny, leaving us with no real way to know if the information was accurate.
A source revealed that news of the phone call came as a surprise and there was no possible moment for the alleged call to occur.
Separate sources even claimed that the King refused to pick up the phone whenever Harry called, waving it away until an apology is made.
Considering King Charles’ busy schedule, it is unlikely that he would leave the people he’s with to accept a phone call.
It is more plausible that he simply didn’t have time all day.
Harry’s failure to give advance notice for the call, just like his previous visit to the UK, where he neglected to inform them of his plans, suggests that he believes giving advance notice is beneath him.
However, the palace later suggested that a call did take place and another one is scheduled for next week.
The Telegraph also published an article discussing the phone call, written by Gordon Rainer, a trusted source for royal news.
He points out that while a reconciliation between Charles and Harry would be significant, after years of briefing wars and media manipulation, skepticism is inevitable.
The motive behind the phone call and the decision to make it public raises questions about Harry and Meghan’s desire to maintain their royal connection and stay relevant.
Furthermore, reports suggest that Meghan’s upcoming launch of a wellness brand or lifestyle blog could be another reason for the phone call.
Meghan is eager to keep her name in the news before the launch, as it represents her last chance to generate income and support her lavish lifestyle.
In conclusion, whether the phone call actually took place or not remains unclear.
The palace refuses to confirm or deny, leaving room for speculation.
The motives behind the call, the timing, and the decision to make it public raise doubts about the authenticity of the gesture.
As always, the royal family prefers to keep private matters private, focusing on their important work rather than trivialities.
Only time will tell if this phone call signifies a genuine reconciliation or if it is just another move in the media game played by Harry and Meghan.
