King Charles reportedly stopped taking calls from Prince Harry for a shocking reason. All eyes are on the Duke of Sussex and Meghan Markle, and whether they will decide to bring their two children to the UK with them later this month. The Duchess of Sussex is set to join her husband to mark the one-year countdown to the 2027 Invictus Games, but it is unknown whether Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, will join them and finally reunite with their grandfather, King Charles.

Harry, 41, was planning to visit the UK with his entire family, but is reconsidering now that his request for taxpayer-funded security has been denied. Appearing on TalkTV with host Jeremy Kyle, Kinsey Schofield discussed reports that Queen Camilla has refused to allow King Charles to be left alone in a room with Harry.

The royal commentator insisted Queen Camilla is "not the architect" of this, highlighting the apprehension the late Queen Elizabeth II had around the Sussexes.

She said: "Queen Elizabeth was nervous about being left alone with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and actually asked assistants, asked friends to be there, not only in person when Harry and Megan were there, but over the phone to act as witnesses to ensure that if they asked anything of her specific, like asked her for money.

She continued: "The King, at one point when he was Prince Charles, according to Robert Jobson, stopped taking Harry's phone calls because he said Harry was making him feel like an ATM."

Kinsey added that the late Queen wanted to "protect herself" from Harry and Meghan, claiming she was "afraid of unauthorised photos leaking and uncomfortable conversations".

She declared: "We're seeing the same with the King Charles reign."

Jeremy discussed further reports that Harry and Meghan have agreed to a strict set of rules ahead of their visit to the UK, including no cameras, Instagram posts or revelation interviews.

"You know, that's a conversation that happened a while ago. And this is a protocol that developed during Queen Elizabeth's reign," Kinsey shared.

King Charles has reportedly made one thing very clear when the couple touch down in the UK, with a source telling Closer: "The reality is that he's taking a huge chance and he knows it. He's made it very clear to Harry that there cannot be any drama or any hint that this trip is being used for personal gain."
