Relations Strained as Prince Harry Misses Lunch Over Meghan’s Threat Calls; Returns to California
Relations between Prince Harry and the rest of the royal family have hit an all-time low, but there seems to be a glimmer of hope for reconciliation.
It has been revealed that Harry was offered an unexpected olive branch in the form of an invitation to a family lunch.
However, he decided to return to California to celebrate his son Archie's birthday instead.
Meghan, his wife, stayed behind to organize a small party for their family and friends.
However, a source close to Princess Eugenie has leaked information suggesting that Meghan repeatedly called Harry before he entered Westminster Abbey for Prince Charles's historic crowning.
This forced Harry to quickly return to America, crushing any hopes of a potential reconciliation.
The source claims that Harry did not even get a chance to greet King Charles and Prince William during the coronation and was completely ignored by the Wales family.
It is clear that the once-close relationship between Charles's two sons has deteriorated over the years.
During the coronation, William had an official role as the heir to the throne, while Harry had no official duties and was seated in the third row of Westminster Abbey.
According to a source cited by The Sun, discussions were held regarding the seating arrangement based on the line of succession.
However, this would have placed Harry, who is fifth in line, in a prominent position alongside William and Kate.
Instead, it was decided that only working royals would be seated at the front, with others arranged accordingly.
This means that Harry will be quite far from his father during the ceremony.
Furthermore, Harry has been prohibited from wearing ceremonial robes and will instead be dressed in a suit.
He will also not participate in the processions to and from Westminster Abbey, unlike other non-working royals.
Although he may have received an invitation to the Buckingham Palace lunch, he will not stand with the senior royals on the famous balcony for the flypast.
During the ceremony, Harry was partially obscured by Princess Anne's elaborate hat and was photographed appearing sternly in Prince William's direction.
Reports suggest that the two brothers have not spoken for months following the publication of Harry's memoir, which included intimate revelations and details of a physical altercation with William over his marriage to Meghan.
On the day of the coronation, Harry arrived at Westminster Abbey with Princess Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
He also took a moment to comment on Princess Eugenie's pregnancy, remarking, “Wow, look at you, it's amazing.”
Meanwhile, at Buckingham Palace, King Charles raised a glass to toast his grandson Archie's fourth birthday, despite the ongoing acrimony between him and Harry.
This gesture was a touching tribute to the grandson he has had limited contact with.
The toast took place during a private family gathering following Charles's crowning at Westminster Abbey and his appearance on the balcony alongside Queen Camilla.
In conclusion, the strained relationship between Prince Harry and the royal family has reached new depths.
Despite an invitation to a family lunch, Harry chose to return to California, further fueling the tension.
The absence of any official role for Harry during the coronation and his exclusion from certain events only highlights the growing divide between him and his relatives.
It remains to be seen whether any reconciliation is possible in the future.
