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.
In the six-part docuseries, Harry accused his father of lying during an important meeting that took place when he was set to move from the UK to the United States, and wrote in his book that King Charles tended to put his own interests before his son's.
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.
He met with some students and onlookers who had come down to watch the celebration, and from the crowd, one spectator shouted "Bring back Harry please, can you please bring him back please, Sir?."
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.
Harry did end up returning to the UK a while later for his father's Coronation in May, but it's not known if the two were able to meet up as the prince returned to the US shortly after.
Buckingham Palace announced that Harry would attend the historic event but Meghan would stay in California with their children Prince Archie and Princess
