Questioned about that specific remark, she added: “I presume that Harry knows a little bit more than the rest of us about what’s going on with the king’s health.
“Having said that the palace are still very upbeat about the king and the direction he’s going in with his treatment, and we have just learned today that he and the Queen are going to Canada later this month, and he’s going to open the Canadian Parliament.
“So who knows exactly what’s going on with his health there, but Harry clearly would like to come back and see his dad, but they’re not even talking to each other.”
Ms Bond said she had suspected that behind scenes conversations had been going on, adding: “I just really feel for Harry, but I feel for the king as well.
“To be so estranged from your son you can’t even talk to him because of his case against his own government, the King’s own government. Once again, with this royal beat you couldn’t really make it up.”
In an extraordinay interview with the BBC after his High Court setback, the Duke of Sussex said that the King “won’t speak to me because of this security stuff”.
When asked if the last step to repairing relations with his family was the security issue, he said “100%”, adding: “Whatever noise is being created, whatever stories have been written, this has always been the sticking point.
“Put yourself in my shoes, if you step back to try to create a different role, the same official role, but a different working relationship with the institution that you were born into, for the sake of your wife and your own mental health and your child, which now a lot more has come out, because I felt as though it needed to come out – the other side of the story needed to be told, God forbid anything should happen. And I don’t regret that at all.
“But 2020, when that decision happened, I couldn’t believe it. I actually couldn’t believe it.
“I thought, with all the disagreements and all of the chaos that’s happening, the one thing that I could rely on is my family keeping me safe.”
