King Charles told the late Queen ‘I am not a bank’, insider claims
>
King Charles told the late queen “I’m not a bank” when asked why he was no longer answering any of Prince Harry’s calls, a source has claimed.
The Queen is alleged to have made repeated efforts to reunite the couple before her death in September, when Her Majesty was assigned to “light duty” due to her reduced mobility.
The prince, who lives in the US with Meghan Markle and their two children, is said to have “bombarded” his grandmother with calls in her final months, but a source said Sun the queen was “unable and unwilling” to handle Harry’s requests.
When he later asked Charles why he wasn’t answering Harry’s calls or emails, his son is alleged to have replied: “Because I’m not a bank.”

The source added: “The late queen was always happy to talk to Harry, but when he asked her for money, she said: ‘Why don’t you talk to your father?’
‘Harry told him that Charles wasn’t taking his calls anymore.’
Charles had supposedly “insisted” that Harry email him instead of calling him.
“Family members, including William, had stopped speaking to Harry when they found out about his book deal, fearing what they said would end up in print,” the source added. Harry is not as well off as he is led to believe. He wanted money.
It comes as reports emerged that Charles will hold crisis talks with Prince William in the wake of the Sussexes’ Netflix documentary, which is set to air early next week.
Sources say Harry and Meghan have privately discussed “communicating” with their estranged relatives after the “inevitable furore” around the project has died down.
Harry and Meghan insist they will focus on mending their relations with the royal family, once their Netflix documentary and the prince’s tell-all memoir are released.
But relationships may be beyond repair, particularly if the prince’s tell-all documentary and memoir throw more slingshots down the royal path.
Senior royals are said to be preparing for the worst and will be prepared to tackle any unfounded accusations after the Prince and Princess of Wales were shocked by the release of the Sussexes’ documentary trailer mid-visit high-profile to Boston.
An informant said Mirror: ‘There is a completely united front on the part of the King and his family regarding the numerous attempts to make peace in private with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, which have unfortunately once again resulted in the other party wishing to air their repeated wrongs to the world.
“If something needs to be answered in the next series, you can be sure that the answer will be fast and strong.”

The royals reacted with horror and a growing sense of anger when the trailer was released on social media ahead of the documentary streaming on Netflix next week as part of the Sussexes’ multi-billion dollar deal with the streaming giant.

While William and Kate were determined not to be distracted by conjecture, it’s no secret that the Prince of Wales has been especially hurt and angry at the depth of his younger brother’s betrayal in recent years.
“The problem is that when it comes to the Sussexes and these revenge projects that they’re so hell-bent on, people ask when will that be enough?” said a source.
“Given the circumstances, it’s not unreasonable to ask if they’re even interested in mending their relationships with the family.”
The Queen set a precedent when she issued a blunt statement after Harry and Meghan’s Oprah interview in March 2021.

It comes as reports emerged that Charles will hold crisis talks with Prince William in the wake of the Sussexes’ Netflix documentary, which is set to air early next week.
In the sit-down chat, Meghan claimed a close relative asked “how dark” Archie would be before he was born in 2019.
The Queen suggested that “memories may vary” at certain events, but insisted that the Sussexes “will always be much-loved members of the family.”
Harry was accepted into the fold again during the mourning period after Her Majesty’s death, but tensions are said to be rising again after this week’s trailer for his upcoming Netflix documentary series, titled Harry & Meghan, suggested that the couple still have scores to settle.

The footage includes a voiceover of Harry gravely saying, “No one sees what goes on behind closed doors” over a black-and-white photo of his wife in an armchair, apparently crying.
The film then immediately cuts to a shot focusing on a pinched-looking William and Kate at the 2019 Commonwealth Service in London, with the Sussexes sitting meekly behind them.
Royal sources have said the Duke and Duchess see it as a “declaration of war”.
