Prince Harry has reportedly not spoken to his father, King Charles III, since returning to the UK two weeks ago.

Royal sources told the Mirror on Tuesday that the Duke of Sussex has yet to schedule a call with the monarch since announcing his move back to England with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children.

In fact, Charles was holidaying at Balmoral in Scotland with his eldest son, Prince William, when Harry told him of his and Markle’s shocking move.

Royal sources also told the outlet that Charles, 77, and the rest of the royal family have been “blindsided” by the Sussexes’ move, with the monarch feeling particularly “perplexed” about the lack of communication.

“Harry has spoken openly about desperately wanting reconciliation and yet he is the one keeping his father and his family in the dark about major developments such as moving back to the UK,” a source told the outlet.

“Such behavior just makes it harder to deal with the Sussexes or know their true motives for moving their entire lives back to Harry’s homeland. The whole family [is] perplexed about the situation.”

Page Six has reached out to Buckingham Palace, Harry and Markle for comment.

On Monday, Charles broke his silence on his son and daughter-in-law’s move back to the UK, clarifying their royal status.

Via his lord chamberlain, he confirmed the Sussexes will not be working royals carrying out official engagements despite their return to England.

The letter stated that Harry, 41, and Markle, 45, cannot be addressed as His and Her Royal Highness and confirmed they are “private citizens with commercial and charitable interests.”

On Aug. 26, the couple returned to England with their kids, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5 — six years after they quit their royal duties.

As Page Six previously reported, Harry and Markle moved back across the pond to be closer to Charles, who is battling cancer.

However, Page Six confirmed that Charles learned of his youngest son’s decision just days before the bombshell news broke.

In July, Charles attempted to reconcile with the Sussexes by inviting them to his country home of Highgrove.

The reunion, which Queen Camilla also attended, marked the first time he saw Archie and Lilibet in four years.

Harry and the “Suits” actress, notably, relocated to California in 2020 after stepping back as working members of the royal family in a move notoriously known as “Megxit.”

Since then, the pair have released various projects, including a Netflix docuseries and Harry’s memoir, “Spare,” which have put them at odds with members of the monarchy.

Harry’s older brother, William, and his wife, Kate Middleton, allegedly plan to ignore the two as they start their new life in England.
