Harry's detente with the King

Birthday call bid to heal rift

- Richard Palmer Royal

THE royal rift between King Charles and his youngest son might have reached a turning point-after Prince Harry phoned the monarch on his 75th birthday, sources revealed yesterday

It is also understood they have agreed to talk again next week after Harry broke the ice by calling his father, despite months when the pair were not on speaking terms.

And while there is still much bridge building to do, friends said their plan to speak again is a sign the relationship can be fixed.
