Prince Harry ‘has secretly kept communication channels open with family’ – and it’s ‘positive’
It's no secret that Prince Harry and his family haven't been on the best terms in recent years, but it appears as though he's stayed in contact with the Spencers, his mother's family, after making a secret trip to see them in August
Prince Harry has quietly maintained strong communication channels with his family, it has been reported.
The prince’s relationship with the Windsors has become increasingly strained over recent years, but he is still keeping in the loop through his mother’s side, the Spencer family. In late August, the Duke of Sussex made a secret trip to the UK to attend a memorial service for late uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes in Norfolk.
Harry, 39, reportedly stayed with the Spencers at Althorp House, their ancestral manor and the childhood home of his late mother Princess Diana, who was buried on the estate following her tragic death in 1997. Jennie Bond has spoken to OK! about what Harry’s visit means, noting the two parties must be in regular contact, which is a “positive thing”.
“When Diana’s coffin arrived back at Althorp and the gates closed behind the hearse, Earl Spencer said simply: ‘Diana is home.’ And he has clearly honoured his pledge that her blood family would allow William and Harry to experience as many different aspects of life as possible and to let their souls sing openly as she had planned,” Jennie told OK!.
She added: “Quietly, behind the scenes, it is obvious that the Spencer family have kept the communication channels open with Harry and that their affection for him is reciprocated. I’m sure Harry feels it’s important that he still has some kind of anchor here in the UK and, for now at least, it seems that it is with his aunts and uncle. And that has to be a positive thing.”
