Prince Harry 'hasn't spoken to Prince William or King Charles since TV chats'

Prince Harry has had no contact with his father King Charles or brother Prince William since giving TV interviews and the release of his controversial memoir Spare, a source has claimed.

It has been reported that neither the monarch nor the heir to the throne has exchanged calls, texts or emails with Harry since the book hit shelves last week.

In the explosive memoir, the Duke of Sussex claims that William physically attacked him and that the King put his own interests above Harry’s and was jealous of Meghan Markle.

The memoir also sees Harry expressing his frustration at being the “spare to the heir”, his lonely life before meeting Meghan and the breakdown of his family relationships.

But despite claiming in interviews to promote the book he would like to be reconciled with his royal relatives, a source to The Sun : "There has been no conversations or contact."

This leaves it unclear if Harry and Meghan will be invited to attend the King's coronation, due to take place on May 6.

It also comes just days after another bombshell interview where Harry said he had enough material for two books, but he held back because he does not think his father and brother would “ever forgive” him.

In an interview with Bryony Gordon of The Daily Telegraph, Harry said: “It could have been two books, put it that way.”

Harry told Gordon that there were things he revealed to ghostwriter JR Moehringer “for context”, but there was “absolutely no way” they would be included in the book.

The duke said it is impossible to tell his story without referring to family members.

He added: “But there are some things that have happened, especially between me and my brother, and to some extent between me and my father, that I just don’t want the world to know.

“Because I don’t think they would ever forgive me."

He also added: "But the way I see it is, I’m willing to forgive you for everything you’ve done, and I wish you’d actually sat down with me, properly, and instead of saying I’m delusional and paranoid, actually sit down and have a proper conversation about this, because what I’d really like is some accountability. And an apology to my wife."

Harry also revealed that he worries about his brother’s children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

He added: "And though William and I have talked about it once or twice, and he has made it very clear to me that his kids are not my responsibility, I still feel a responsibility knowing that out of those three children, at least one will end up like me, the spare. And that hurts, that worries me."

The interview in the Telegraph is one of a string which Harry has taken part in around the publication of his book.

The controversial memoir became the fastest-selling non-fiction book ever when his tell-all tale lambasting the royal family was finally published this week.
