Royal sources have insisted to The Daily Beast that King Charles did speak to Prince Harry and inform him personally of his grandmother’s death before a public announcement was made, after fresh reports surfaced claiming that the a call the king attempted to place to Harry while he was flying to Scotland did not go through, and that Harry learned of his grandmother’s death from online breaking news alerts.
The Daily Telegraph’s royal editor Hannah Furness claimed in an article published Saturday that “the phone call did not go through,” adding that although Harry “knew his father was trying to get in touch with him” he “read a breaking news announcement online before they could work the technology to speak.”
