Prince Harry reportedly overwhelmed with guilt over leaving the UK after Prince Charles tested positive for coronavirus

Prince Harry is reportedly "overwhelmed with guilt" after moving away from the UK as his dad, Prince Charles, tested positive for coronavirus.

The 35 year old and his wife Meghan Markle, 38, moved to California last month after stepping down as 'senior' members of the Royal family.

But just days after their Stateside move, Clarence House revealed the Prince of Wales, 71, had tested positive for the deadly bug.

A source close to the Duke of Sussex has now opened up on his emotions after learning of his father's diagnoses.

The insider said: "Despite their ups and downs, hearing that his dad is sick with a potentially life-threatening illness is a huge wake-up call.

"And he's overwhelmed with feelings of guilt for not being closer to home while this is all going on," the source continued to tell Us Weekly.

They continued to reveal that Charles had told both Harry and his brother Prince William, 37, he had contracted the illness in a "heart-wrenching" phone call.

The insider continued to tell the publication: "During the heart-wrenching call, he confessed to feeling beyond helpless, being over 5,000 miles away in L.A.

"Charles tried to calm Harry down by saying he's OK and that he's only suffering from mild symptoms, which slightly helped put his mind at ease but he's [Harry] still worried.

"Harry's admitted it's hit home that Charles and the Queen aren't going to be around forever. Harry tries to keep in regular contact with the Queen and Charles, but due to the eight-hour time difference calls are few and far between.

"The royals are desperately trying to rally together amid the pandemic, which is a huge struggle given that they've been forced to physically separate."
