Princess Anne allegedly wrote a letter to Prince Harry asking him to return to the United Kingdom for the holidays.
In its Dec. 13 issue, New Idea claimed that Princess Anne has always been drawn to Prince Harry because of their similarities. As second-born children, they are not heirs to the throne but so much is still expected from them.
A source said that Princess Anne understands how difficult and lonely it can sometimes be for second-born children to grow up with their siblings who are future kings. After all, they get less attention and time from senior working royals.
So, even though Princess Anne knows that Prince Harry made some terrible mistakes in recent years. She’s the first member of the royal family who’s open to forgiving him. So, Princess Royal decided to reach out to her nephew via a letter.
At first, Princess Anne was worried that Prince Harry would ignore her efforts to reach out to him. But to her surprise, the Duke of Sussex replied.
“Harry wants to put everything to one side, even if it’s only for a short while, given this could be his grandmother’s last Christmas. He appreciated Anne’s invitation and said he was grateful to know that he has an ally and support in Anne,” the source said.
The insider also claimed that Prince Harry apologized to his aunt after she was dragged into his and Meghan Markle’s racism allegations against the royal family. Since Prince Harry and Markle refused to reveal the identity of the person that questioned Archie’s skin color, everyone assumed that they were referring to Princess Anne.
But just last week, it was revealed that Prince Charles was the one that asked Camilla Parker Bowles about the color of Archie’s skin and not Princess Royal.
“Harry learned pretty quickly that it was a big mistake to call out a small group of people because then all of them cop it. He felt bad Anne got swept up in it all,” the source said.
As of late, there’s no indication that Princess Anne reached out to Prince Harry via a letter and invited him to visit the United Kingdom for the holidays. If Princess Anne wanted to reach out to her nephew, she would most likely do it via phone or text.
