Prince Harry's pals claim King Charles won't answer the Duke's calls or respond to any of his letters following their brief meeting earlier this year.

Sources close to Harry claim the Duke gets the message "unavailable right now" when he tries to call his father or reach out about his health.

One of the Duke's friends told People magazine: "He gets 'unavailable right now'. His calls go unanswered. He has tried to reach out about the King's health, but those calls go unanswered too."

Harry briefly met with King Charles after the monarch revealed he was battling cancer.

Amid the estrangement between father-and-son, Harry remains deeply concerned for the safety of his wife and their children in the UK - and, according to sources, has repeatedly asked his father for help.

A royal insider told the publication: "Harry is frightened and feels the only person who can do anything about it is his father.

"Harry is determined to protect his own family at all costs."
