Following the grand coronation of the King, a noticeable distance emerged between the institution and the Duke of Sussex.
Despite his presence at his father’s significant event in 2023, official images released by Buckingham Palace omitted any reference to the Duke of Sussex.
According to sources cited by Express, the Duke of Sussex did make an appearance at Buckingham Palace post-coronation.
However, he was discreetly guided away from the area where other members of the royal family were gathering for formal photographs.
Notably, the designated celebration spot, including a secluded area behind the balcony, remained completely segregated from him.
An insider shared their perspective, emphasizing that regardless of their official roles within the monarchy, such occasions traditionally warrant the inclusion of the monarch’s children.
The insider expressed how this exclusion of the Duke of Sussex sparked bewilderment within royal circles, hinting at potential shifts in dynamics involving both the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
This incident left many speculating about the implications of this apparent distancing.
In a significant turn of events back in 2020, the Duke of Sussex, accompanied by his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, and their son, Prince Archie, chose to step back from their royal duties.
Their decision was punctuated by a televised address where they candidly voiced their grievances, alleging instances of racism directed towards their son within the royal family.
