US Weekly: Prince Harry Speaks to Prince William but It's Still Awkward Amid Royal Exit
Prince Harry and Prince William are reportedly in communication amid the coronavirus outbreak but are still not at best terms.
When a deadly virus like the COVID-19 pandemic hits the entire world, individuals realize how important family is.
Prince Charles, who recently contracted the illness, “found a great deal of comfort” in speaking to his two sons and knowing that they are in talking terms, a source claimed.

TALKING BUT STILL AWKWARD
While Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are happily self-isolating in their new LA home, the royal has been communicating with his family, including his brother Prince William. A source said:
“They speak, but it’s awkward. He’s hurt that Harry isn’t in London to support the family amid the coronavirus outbreak.”
The couple recently stepped away from their duties as senior royal members and moved to America, after first deciding to settle in Canada.

Although the decision was made, Harry feels terrible for leaving his family during such time. “He tries to shield Meghan from his stress. So he’ll confide to his friends in the UK over the phone,” said an insider.
POSITIVE OUTLOOK
As they begin their lives as private citizens, the royal couple maintains a positive outlook about their future.

The couple and their only son Archie settled in LA right before flights were banned due to the pandemic that has surpassed one million infected people globally.

SAFETY FIRST
An insider noted that the duchess is “obsessive about the house being clean and is going through boxes of disinfectant wipes every day.”
