Details of the rare conversation shortly emerged, with the Daily Telegraph branding the whole exchange “warm.”
The attention around the phone call allegedly left Charles enraged, who was frustrated at the Sussexes for taking the spotlight off the food waste project he launched on his big day.
Speaking to The Sunday Times, a source close to the King said: "It frustrates him that personal issues intrude on the public duty. He’d much rather the focus was on his work, not the soap opera of the private life. It is always frustrating when family dynamics overshadow the public role."
