The presenter told millions of viewers she had spoken to the couple.

Palace chiefs are believed to be outraged over the leak to the CBS This Morning show anchor, branded “a shocking breach of trust”.

The Queen vowed that an investigation into the couple’s claims in a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey would be “addressed by the family privately”.

Insiders said it was a clear sign talks should remain entirely confidential.

'THREE-LINE WHIP'

Buckingham Palace ordered a “three-line whip” banning aides from talking about the Oprah fallout and refused to confirm whether Princes Charles and William had spoken to Harry.

But Ms King, 66, declared that Harry, 36, had spoken to his father and brother at the weekend.

She also said no one from the Royal Family has spoken to Meghan, 39, since the Oprah interview.

She spoke out after a reporter on This Morning had asked her about her weekend phone call with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.



Ms King told viewers: “Well, I’m not trying to break news, but I did actually call them to see how they are feeling and it’s true, Harry has talked to his brother and he has talked to his father, too.

“The word I was given was, those conversations were not productive.

“But they are glad they at least started a conversation.”

She also said there was “no word” on whether the Palace was investigating the claims made by pregnant mum-of-one Meghan in the Oprah chat.

'HYPOCRITES'

Ms King went to Meghan’s baby shower in New York and is a close pal of talk show queen Oprah, 67.

Critics yesterday branded the Sussexes hypocrites as they had previously accused Palace aides of leaking stories about them when they were working royals.

Royal biographer Penny Junor said: “It’s a shocking breach of trust.

“The family will worry that anything they say to Harry will end up on American television.”


Royal author Tom Quinn said Ms King’s comments will have upset the Palace and the couple had “once again, shot themselves in the foot”.

Meanwhile, a probe – being handled by an outside law firm – is looking into claims that Meghan bullied several members of her staff in the UK.

Buckingham Palace did not want to comment.
