Exclusive: Prince Harry Excluded from Hosting Not Forgotten Association Garden Party
Buckingham Palace is abuzz with preparations for the highly anticipated Not Forgotten Association Garden Party, set to be hosted by Prince Hassan in a historic event at the Palace.
This annual tradition, dating back to 1921, has long been a significant affair at Buckingham Palace, offering entertainment, leisure, and recreation for ex-servicemen and women with disabilities or health issues.
Traditionally, members of the Royal Family have played a pivotal role in hosting the Garden Party, with notable figures like the Duchess of Edinburgh and Princess Royal having taken the lead in previous years.
The event holds a special place in the hearts of the Royals, as it was established in 1920 to bring joy and entertainment to wounded ex-servicemen recovering from the Great War.
Notably, Princess Mary was the inaugural Royal Patron of the Not Forgotten Association, a role later assumed by the Duchess of Kent and eventually passed on to the Princess Royal in 2000.
Over the years, various members of the Royal Family, including Queen Elizabeth, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, and Prince Harry, have graced the event with their presence.
However, this year comes with a surprising twist as Prince Harry finds himself excluded from hosting duties at the Garden Party.
Sources within the Palace reveal that Princess Anne's decision to bar Harry from the event signifies a significant shift in Royal Family dynamics, reflecting the repercussions of Harry's controversial actions and choices.
Harry's divergence from traditional Royal responsibilities and his involvement in ventures like the Invictus Games have strained his relationship with the Royal Family, leading to a sense of betrayal among its members.
Anne's choice to distance the event from any potential controversies associated with Harry's endeavors underscores a commitment to upholding the event's integrity and honoring the veterans it aims to support.
The exclusion of Prince Harry sends a clear message that the Royal Family places the well-being of veterans and disabled individuals above personal interests, marking a departure from the past association with Harry's initiatives.
By ensuring that the Garden Party remains a platform dedicated to celebrating and supporting veterans, Anne underscores her dedication to preserving the event's noble cause.
In a related development, speculations regarding a reconciliation between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle with Prince William and Catherine seem bleak.
Despite Catherine's recent cancer diagnosis announcement, experts suggest that the estranged couples are unlikely to mend their relationship anytime soon.
Royal historian Richard Fitzwilliams points out that the manner in which the news of Catherine's diagnosis was received by Harry and Meghan, through a public video announcement, highlights the deep rift in communication between the parties.
Reports indicate that trust has eroded, leading to a breakdown in any potential reconciliation efforts.
Sources close to the Royal Family reveal that there is a noticeable distance between the Royals and Harry and Meghan, with the couple reportedly unaware of Catherine's diagnosis prior to the public announcement.
The lack of communication and understanding between the parties suggests that any hopes of reconciliation may be far-fetched at this point.
