The monarch gave an unexpected response when he was asked about his youngest son.
Prince Harry caused quite the stir following his dramatic exit from the Royal Family and relationships became strained - even with his father, King Charles. The pair are said to have little communication after the prince quit his royal duties, especially after the release of his memoir Spare and bombshell Netflix documentary with wife Meghan Markle.
The Mirror reports that despite Harry speaking out, King Charles has remained fairly private about the ordeal, but gave a devastating four-word reply when asked about his estranged son earlier this year. The monarch was visiting the University of East London's Stratford campus in celebration of its 125th anniversary where he opened up its new hospital and primary care training hub and unveiled a plaque.
At first, the King appeared not to hear what was said, as he asked: "Who?" The man replied: "Harry, your son" to which Charles heartbreakingly replied: "It would be nice" before quickly moving on. Buckingham Palace announced that Harry would attend the historic event but Meghan would stay in California with their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. However, despite their frosty relationship, one royal expert believes the King wants to repair their bond.
