The Duke of Sussex recently made his third visit without meeting his brother, the Prince of Wales, intensifying the strain in their relationship that has developed over the years.
Despite a specific request being turned down by his brother just before his wedding, the Duke still harbored feelings of unease about the situation.
The Sussexes tied the knot on May 19, 2018, at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, with the Prince of Wales playing a role as an usher.
However, behind the scenes, things seemed to be far from harmonious.
Following a heated exchange with the Prince of Wales the night before their grand spring wedding, the Duke admitted to feeling unwell.
Prior to the ceremony at Windsor Castle, the Duke spent the evening at Cowarth Park Hotel, reminiscing about enjoying drinks with friends.
According to reports, the Prince of Wales, who had recently welcomed his third child, abruptly canceled plans to join them, citing family commitments as the reason.
This decision left the Duke feeling unsettled, especially since it was their tradition to have dinner together before public appearances.
“Why bother greeting the crowds, Harold?”
the Prince of Wales allegedly questioned the Duke.
In his memoir, the Duke revealed, “I felt sick about it.”
While acknowledging that the Prince of Wales’s initial reluctance was influenced by familial intervention, the Duke persisted in convincing his brother to join him for supper and stay the night.
However, the Prince of Wales ultimately declined, leading to further tension between them.
Multiple disagreements between the Duke and the Prince of Wales have been documented, indicating a strained relationship post-wedding.
Currently, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are on a three-day visit to Nigeria, while the Duke of Sussex recently returned to London to mark the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games.
Unfortunately, the Duke and his father, the King, were unable to reunite during this visit due to the King’s busy schedule.
Addressing the speculation surrounding a potential meeting between the Duke and his father, a spokesperson for the Duke of Sussex expressed regret that such a reunion would not be possible given the King’s commitments.
Despite the missed opportunity, the Duke understands his father’s obligations and remains hopeful of a future meeting.
The dynamics within the royal family continue to captivate attention, leaving many to wonder about the intricacies of their relationships and interactions.
As the saga unfolds, observers eagerly await further developments and insights into the complexities of royal life.
