Amidst a flurry of royal activities, the Duke of Sussex has made his way to the UK for a grand celebration, while Prince William diligently fulfills his royal responsibilities without crossing paths with his brother.

Today, at Windsor Castle, the future monarch, known for his passion for football, bestowed honors upon Mary Earps, the Lionesses’ current goalkeeper, and Peter Shilton, a former England goalkeeper.

William, who serves as the president of the English Football Association, has always had a deep-rooted love for the beautiful game.

Just last week, William was spotted at Villa Park, the renowned football stadium of Aston Villa, where he witnessed the Premier League team in action during the first leg of the Europa Conference League semi-final.

Despite the buzz surrounding the Duke’s visit this week, it has been confirmed that none of the senior members of the royal family will be in attendance at the Duke’s Invictus ceremony in London today.

Addressing the ongoing speculation, the Prince’s spokeswoman stated that due to His Majesty’s packed schedule, a meeting between father and son during this visit is not feasible.

Acknowledging the constraints of his father’s busy diary, the Duke remains understanding of the situation and looks forward to a future reunion.

The last public sighting of the Duke and his father dates back to February 2024, following the announcement of the monarch’s battle with cancer.

Even during the Duke’s recent trip to the UK, the Prince of Wales was unable to connect with his son, underscoring the strained nature of their relationship in recent times.

In commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, the Duke is set to deliver a reading at St. Paul’s Cathedral later today.
