After a positive meeting in February following King Charles' cancer diagnosis, communication between the father and son has deteriorated. People close to Harry say King Charles no longer takes his son's calls or responds to his letters.

Harry, meanwhile, is worried about the safety of his wife, Meghan Markle, and children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. According to the publication, he has repeatedly asked his father for help. Sources say Harry is scared and believes only his father can help. Harry is determined to protect his family.

Nevertheless, the issue preventing Harry from securing protection is complex as the UK's monarch has no governmental power. The Executive Committee decides police protection for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (RAVEC), representing the UK government.
