Although King Charles is said to be “heartbroken” about not getting to see his grandchildren across the Atlantic, one line appears to have been crossed with his son, which has a no-turning-back clause.

Just weeks ago, a source close to Harry claimed his father no longer takes his calls.

“He gets ‘unavailable right now,’” the source told People Magazine. “His calls go unanswered. He has tried to reach out about the King’s health, but those calls go unanswered too.”

It’s well-known that Harry and Meghan have decided not to travel to the UK because of security issues. The couple feel that they and their children aren’t safe with the present plan, which includes them having to pay for security themselves and not benefitting from any assistance from the Royal Family.

According to People, Harry is preparing to appeal a court ruling that upheld the decision denying him security in the UK. An insider told the US news outlet that Harry wants to reinstate his security, which in the long run would mean more flexibility when he, his wife, and their two children visit the UK.

King Charles has ‘brutal reaction’ when Prince Harry rings, expert claims

However, though the matter of security is essential for Harry, there is, sadly, another layer of importance that it plays. According to a royal insider, speaking to People Magazine, whether Harry and his family get security when visiting the UK or not plays a crucial role in the Duke’s relationship with his father.

“Harry is frightened and feels the only person who can do anything about it is his father,” a royal insider told People.

Perhaps a new claim about King Charles’s interest in speaking to Harry gives royal fans all the information needed to understand the situation between the father-son duo.

According to royal commentator Emily Andrews, King Charles has a harsh reaction whenever an aide approaches him with a phone to inform him that Harry is on the line.

“Now, even his own father is not taking his calls. I’m told that when courtiers bring the phone to the King (Charles doesn’t have his own mobile phone) he waves them away in irritation,” she told the Mirror.

“This is not because there’s been yet another falling out,” Andrews added. “Rather, it is thought to be because Harry wants to continuously discuss his ongoing battle for security, which he has been fighting in the court for four years and believes Charles has the power to reinstate.”

Prince Harry ‘at risk’ of being stripped from line of succession

It certainly seems as though Harry has burned all bridges with regards making amends with the Royal Family. And if King Charles wanted, he could get revenge on Harry moving forward.

Every August, the Royal Family gathers at Balmoral to spend time together. At the same time, the “royal summit” also includes meetings about what is to come. According to the Express, one subject this year was the matter of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

A source told the UK newspaper that discussions were held about removing Harry from the line of succession.

“The order of succession can be altered by statute if a member of the Royal Family permanently resides outside the UK and no longer undertakes royal duties,” the source told Express. “If that were to happen, Harry’s children could also be removed from the line of succession.”

Robert Blackburn, professor of constitutional law at King’s College London, told the Express that while Harry lives abroad, it is not a legal disqualification for becoming monarch. By an Act of Parliament, the Duke can be removed from the line of succession.

“Like Edward VIII, Prince Harry does not wish to perform the role of royalty expected of him and has withdrawn to live abroad. Presumably therefore Prince Harry would be agreeable to abdicate his place in succession if for any reason this became an issue in royal affairs being legislated upon,” said Blackburn.

Robert Blackburn explained that while King Charles and the royals may want to remove Harry from the line of succession, it’s ‘customary’ that the British Government, not the monarch, takes the initiative to put forward a bill like that.

Still, removing Harry from the line of succession could be tricky, the professor said.

“The only possible scenario, as I see it, is for there to be a Government Bill being prepared on another royal issue, such as an amendment to the Regency Act dealing with eligible counsellors of state, and a clause being added at the same time which Prince Harry himself requests that removes him from the line of succession as a mark of him clearly wishing to relinquish all ties to the public work of the Monarchy and Royal Family,” Robert Blackburn told the Express.
