Mr Ship said on ITV News’ The Royal Rota podcast: “Perhaps they’ve done the really modern thing of WhatsApp.
“But we know they haven’t spoken because William said. But it rather suggests that they know this interview was so big.
“One of the positive things that might come out of it is they will start talking again. They might even, in time, repair that relationship.”
