PRINCE William and Prince Harry may be locked down on other sides of the pond but have been keeping in touch via Zoom chat.
Once the Cambridge children have gone to bed and he’s had dinner with Kate, Prince William has been phoning Harry at his lunchtime, according to a source.
A source told Fabulous: “William finds Zoom a good, informal way of keeping in touch, and some would say ’tabs’, on his younger brother.
“There have been several zoom calls. It’s easy to set up and involves no awkward scheduling.
“After the children have gone to bed and supper with Kate. It has been only William and Harry. It is around lunchtime in LA.
“These calls are made from Anmer’s private sitting room. It’s not the room that Kate and William use for their public zoom sessions.”
A friend close to the brothers said: “William is very anxious to keep the calls low key and casual.
“Just two brothers have a chat. No-one else is involved. It takes the pressure off.
“There is nothing formal about these zoom sessions. It’s about keeping in touch that’s important. Harry has spoken on Zoom to the Queen as well.”
The brothers have become proficient in video calling during lockdown, speaking to numerous organisations they support.
William and Kate have been praised for stepping up during lockdown, and helping to boost the nation’s spirits.
Another source said: ‘William comes over well on zoom. Some people just don’t like looking at themselves on screen.
“But William looks calm and collected and actually listens to what’s being said to him.”
And the Queen made history during lockdown in doing her first royal Zoom chat.
The monarch, 94, joined her daughter Princess Anne and carers supported by the carers trust on a video call this month.
The Queen chatted with four carers and the trust’s chief executive Gareth Howells on June 4 from Windsor Castle.
And it was reported Meghan Markle and Prince Harry ‘wished Prince Philip happy 99th birthday in private Zoom call’.
There have been rumours of a rift between the two royal couples – which the palace has denied – with tensions allegedly rising with the announcement of Harry’s departure from the Royal Family.
Speaking to People magazine, a source claimed Harry and William’s relationship has been “forever changed” since Megxit was announced.
An insider said: “They won’t get back to the way they were. Harry is looking straight ahead at his future with his family.”
