The Duke of Sussex reached out to his father after their relationship ‘hit rock bottom’, where the future King was wounded by Harry’s tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey. And back in 2021, just a year after him and Meghan Markle left their full time royal duties, their interview aired while Philip battled in hospital. Sources close to Harry said he was ‘forced to write letters’ to his father due to a “complete communication breakdown”. And now, one said he ‘outlined his reasons for leaving” while promising to “respect the institution” before coming back that year. ‘He wrote a deeply personal note to his dad to try and set things straight’, a source said (Image: GETTY) ‘Truth be told, Harry didn’t really know what to expect before he came home’ (Image: GETTY) A royal source said, according to the Mirror: ‘Truth be told, Harry didn’t really know what to expect before he came home, which is why he reached out before seeing everyone. ‘He wrote a deeply personal note to his dad to try and set things straight but tensions are still running high and things haven’t exactly ironed out the way he had hoped. ‘There had been a kind of unspoken agreement between everyone to park whatever has been on each person’s mind, and solely concentrate on supporting the Queen ahead of Prince Philip’s funeral. ‘The feeling inside the camp was that it wasn’t the time nor the place to go over things, especially at such an emotional time for everybody involved.’ In his memoir Spare, Harry shared many private moments about his father (Image: EXPRESS) Since 2021, Harry has returned to the UK for the Platinum Jubilee, Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, and his father’s Coronation among other occasions. But earlier this year, in his memoir Spare, Harry unleashed more personal broadsides against the Royal Family, and shared many private moments about his father. The book begins with Princess Diana’s death, and how when Charles broke the tragic news, he didn’t hug Harry. The Duke wrote: ‘He’d always given an air of being not quite ready for parenthood—the responsibilities, the patience, the time. ‘Even he, though a proud man, would’ve admitted as much. But single parenthood? Pa was never made for that. ‘To be fair, he tried. Evenings, I’d shout downstairs: Going to bed, Pa! He’d always shout back cheerfully: I’ll be there shortly, darling boy! ‘True to his word, minutes later he’d be sitting on the edge of my bed.’
