Prince Charles should be up for Dad of the Year.
Despite being “disappointed and crushed” by scandalous revelations in the new tome, “Finding Freedom,” Charles has stood by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, an insider told the Sun.
While Prince William and Kate have remained cool to the couple, Charles has been talking to his son, now living in California, on a regular basis, and offering his support, both emotionally and financially.
“They have a very strong and close father-and-son relationship. Many people have speculated that the book was the end for Harry and Meghan in Britain. Too many people were criticized and too many people attacked, including William and Kate,” one royal insider said.
But don’t think that it means the couple is banned from returning to the fold.
“But the Prince of Wales has made it clear the door is always open,” the source told the Sun. “Since [Harry’s] move to Los Angeles they have been in regular contact. Charles is not an avid user of texts but there are video and phone calls.”
As for the book, the source said, “Charles is determined that it is not an obstacle. He has provided financial support, as any father would do when their son moves with a young family to the other side of the world. Their relationship is rock-solid and they remain close. They speak at least once a week and Charles is still a massive driving force in Harry’s life.”
