Prince Charles replaced as Prince Harry and David Foster become "like father and son"

"My husband has a really, really beautiful relationship with Harry." - by Rebecca Sullivan
  • 23 May 2020

It's been months since Prince Harry officially split from the royal family, leaving his blue-blooded relatives in UK while he began his new life in LA with wife Meghan Markle and baby Archie.

WATCH: Katharine McPhee says Prince Harry and her husband David Foster are "like father and son". 

And now it seems Harry has well and truly left his old life behind and is fully embracing his newfound freedom in Los Angeles. 

The Duke has even found an older father figure to fill the void left by Prince Charles’ absence in his life right now. 

American musician and record company executive David Foster, 70, who is married to 36-year-old actress and singer Katharine McPhee, has become like a father to the Duke since he moved to Hollywood, Katharine revealed in a new interview this week.

“My husband has a really, really beautiful relationship with Harry," the American Idol and Smash star told Access Hollywood. 

"They’re so cute, they’re like father and son,” Katharine revealed. 

“We just stay in touch with them. Meghan and I knew each other from childhood, but really, Harry and my husband are friends, and it’s really nice."

The singer, who grew up in LA, just like Meghan, actually went to the same high school as the Duchess of Sussex. 

"She went to a school called Immaculate Heart, as did I. She went there for middle school and high school, and I went there just for middle school,” Katharine revealed.  

"I did a couple shows with her and she was always put together and great. I was never really close friends with her,” she explained.

Since they have both found fame and fortune, Katharine revealed she and Meghan have caught up a few times in public together. 

“But when I was in London doing [theatre production] Waitress, we went to a big charity event … me and David put ourselves in the position where we could at least say hello, and they were really gracious," she said.

On March 31, Harry and Meghan formally stepped back as senior working members of the royal family as they sought to be financially independent from The Firm. 

They are no longer referred to as “His and Her Royal Highness” and are forbidden from using the word “royal” to promote themselves, resulting in the dissolution of their brand Sussex Royal. 

The couple are currently living in a rented house in LA that once belonged to US star Tyler Perry. 

Harry's father Prince Charles is currently isolating in the UK amid strict lockdown rules and tested positive for COVID-19 in March.
