Amidst a major event for King Charles III and Prince William, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have made headlines once again.
According to a royal commentator, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex seemingly attempted to divert attention from King Charles and Prince William with their recent announcement, causing quite a stir.
On November 14, King Charles celebrated his 75th birthday in the company of friends and family at a private dinner held at Clarence House.
However, it was revealed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who currently reside in the United States, declined the invitation.
In a statement from the couple’s spokesperson, it was clarified that they had not been contacted regarding an invitation to the upcoming birthday party of His Majesty the Queen.
The question of whether Prince Harry and his family have been invited to Britain to join in the royal celebration remains unanswered as Buckingham Palace has chosen to remain silent on the matter.
Richard Fitzwilliams, a royal commentator, expressed his views on the situation to Express.co.uk, suggesting that the timing of the Sussexes’ announcement was intentional, aiming to overshadow recent developments involving King Charles and Prince William.
He emphasized that the spokesperson for the Sussexes had merely relayed the news without confirming the receipt of an invitation.
Fitzwilliams speculated that the intention behind the announcement was not to clash with historical events, but rather to divert attention from the openness of the King and Parliament, as well as Prince William’s Earthshot Award.
The Sussexes made their announcement following a report by the Sunday Times on November 7, which stated that Prince Harry would not be traveling from his home in Montecito, California.
A source close to the family revealed to the messenger that there had been no contact between the royal family and Prince Harry.
Fitzwilliams further commented on the deep social divisions within the royal family, particularly highlighting the deteriorating relationship between the King and his youngest son, which worsened following Prince Harry’s memoir and the subsequent controversy surrounding it.
The decision to evict the Sussexes from Frogmore after the memoir’s publication served as a clear indication of the King’s displeasure with their behavior.
In regards to King Charles’ birthday, it was initially believed that he and Prince Harry would have a phone call to mark the occasion.
However, new reports suggest that this did not occur as expected.
A reliable source informed Express.co.uk that news of a phone call came as a surprise, indicating a lack of timely communication between the two parties.
The King, busy with work throughout the day, did not take the call.
Instead, he spent the evening with his loved ones, without any private moments to spare.
The complexities within the royal family continue to unfold, leaving many intrigued by the dynamics at play.
As Prince Harry and Meghan Markle make headlines once again, their actions seem to have inadvertently overshadowed the celebratory event for King Charles and Prince William.
