The Duke of Sussex was in California when his grandfather passed away. Harry reveals the missed calls and his conversation with Queen Elizabeth II in his book 'Spare'.
Prince Harry is said to have tragically missed 32 calls from members of the Royal Family as they desperately tried to reach him about his beloved grandfather, Prince Philip 's death in 2021.
