Sir Elton John’s Glitzy Oscars Party: Royal No-Show Sparks Hollywood Speculation
The annual Academy Awards viewing party hosted by music legend Sir Elton John took place at West Hollywood Park in California on March 10th.
Among the star-studded guests were Elton John's husband, David Furnish, along with celebrities like Tiffany Haddish, Neil Patrick Harris, and David Burtka.
The extravagant event saw the attendance of renowned personalities such as Heidi Klum, Elizabeth Hurley, Donatella Versace, David Foster, Catherine McPhee, but notably absent were Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Last year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were also missing from Sir Elton John's exclusive Oscars bash, raising eyebrows in Hollywood circles.
Royal expert Tom Bauer pointed out that their absence signifies their lack of prominence in the entertainment capital, despite expectations of their presence at various Academy Awards functions.
The Elton John AIDS Foundation, founded in 1992, is dedicated to eradicating the AIDS epidemic, a cause close to Princess Diana's heart.
In April 1987, Princess Diana made history by inaugurating the UK's first HIV/AIDS unit at London Middlesex Hospital, challenging misconceptions about the disease by publicly interacting with patients.
Her fearless act of shaking hands with an individual suffering from HIV/AIDS without gloves shattered stereotypes about transmission through touch.
Tickets to Sir Elton John's exclusive party are available to the public, with A-list celebrities receiving coveted invitations.
The notable absence of Harry and Meghan at the event followed revelations from the Duke's memoir, “Spare,” detailing a rift with the iconic singer during a shared holiday.
While staying at Elton John and David Furnish's French residence, Harry learned that Elton's autobiography, “Me,” was to be serialized in a tabloid the Sussexes had previously taken legal action against.
Harry confronted the musician about his choice of publication, questioning why he opted for a newspaper that had caused him distress.
Elton defended his decision, emphasizing the importance of reaching a wide audience with his story.
In a poignant excerpt from “Spare,” Harry reminisced about the touching moment when Elton John performed at Princess Diana's funeral in 1997, singing a specially reworked version of “Candle in the Wind.”
The Duke expressed uncertainty about whether his memories of the event were genuine or influenced by subsequent recollections, hinting at the emotional impact of the loss.
Reports suggested that Sir Elton maintained frequent communication with Harry, displaying a protective stance towards the royal couple.
An insider close to the Royal Family disclosed to the Daily Mirror in 2018 that Elton John holds a special place in his heart for Harry and Meghan, demonstrating his unwavering support for them.
