Royal author Christopher Andersen claims King Charles is deeply troubled by Prince Harry’s harsh words about Camilla in his memoir ‘Spare’ and may never forgive him. Despite attempts by Harry and Meghan to reconcile with the royal family, their efforts have been unsuccessful, according to Andersen. Reports of a possible second memoir from Prince Harry add further strain on the family amid health concerns for King Charles and Kate Middleton.
Princess Kate Middleton made a stylish appearance at Trooping the Colour, showcasing a monochrome Jenny Peckham dress with a subtle bow detail. Her choice of outfit, while elegant, also demonstrated a sense of discretion and respect for King Charles’ birthday celebration.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, will not be invited to King Charles’ birthday celebrations in London on June 15, according to a report by People. This marks the second consecutive year that the couple has been excluded from the event. Since stepping back from their royal duties in 2020, Harry, 39, and Markle, 42, have been residing in California. They last attended Trooping the Colour in 2019. The event was scaled down in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and was held at Windsor Castle without a large family gathering. In 2022, Harry and Meghan visited the UK for a special Trooping the Colour during Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee but did not join the royal family on the Buckingham Palace balcony. Harry returned to the UK in May to celebrate 10 years of the Invictus Games but did not reunite with his father, citing King Charles’ busy schedule. Meanwhile, King Charles will attend the event despite undergoing cancer treatment and will travel in a horse-drawn carriage with Queen Camilla instead of riding on horseback as in previous years. While the Princess of Wales, 42, is the honorary colonel of the Irish Guards, she will not take the salute at the Colonel’s Review on June 8. It is still unclear whether she will attend Trooping the Colour on June 15.
Despite undergoing cancer treatment, Kate Middleton is considering making a public appearance on the Buckingham Palace balcony after the Trooping the Colour ceremony on June 15th. This appearance would surprise many, as it was previously reported that her treatment would prevent her from attending any public events in 2024. King Charles, who is also receiving cancer treatment, has been open about his recovery, while Kate has remained private about her diagnosis and treatment. If Kate does appear on the balcony, it will be a testament to her determination to continue her royal duties while prioritizing her health.
The British royal family has temporarily suspended public engagements to avoid distracting from the ongoing political campaign for the upcoming general election in the United Kingdom. This decision was made to ensure that the royal family remains impartial and does not interfere in the democratic process. Some events, such as King Charles’s visit to Normandy for the D-Day anniversary, will continue as scheduled. The royal family is expected to resume its regular duties after the election on July 4th.
Prince Harry declined an invitation from King Charles to stay at a Royal residence during his UK visit. The Duke of Sussex cited security concerns as the reason for his decision. Harry, who spent three nights in London for the Invictus Games’ 10th anniversary, did not meet with the King during his visit. The publication revealed that Charles had invited Harry to stay at a Royal residence since he no longer had an official UK home. However, Harry declined due to security concerns, opting for a hotel instead to maintain privacy. Harry was concerned about his lack of automatic police protection, which he felt hindered reconciliation with his father.
Recent health concerns regarding King Charles and the internal dynamics within the royal family have drawn attention. While King Charles denies rumors of declining health and continues royal duties, Queen Camilla has provided updates on his progress. The King’s determination to fulfill engagements despite medical advice reflects his commitment to his role. Meanwhile, a close friend of the Queen suggests that Prince William may be hindering the reconciliation between King Charles and Prince Harry, who recently visited his hometown for a short period. These developments have sparked discussions about the ongoing tensions within the royal family.
Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield believes Prince Harry lacks the maturity to reconcile with King Charles. Despite visiting the UK for the Invictus Games, Harry and the King did not meet. Schofield condemned Harry’s behavior and questioned his trustworthiness, claiming he remains a liability to the monarchy. However, some believe it is time for the country and the King to forgive Harry.
As tensions escalate within the Royal Family, experts have speculated about a possible reunion between King Charles and Prince Harry. However, both father and son appear to have been too busy to meet while Harry was in London. While the Duke claimed his father had other priorities, King Charles held a meeting with David Beckham. This news may further widen the rift between the two. Meanwhile, King Charles announced he will hand over the role of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps to Prince William, a duty originally intended for Harry. Buckingham Palace has not issued a statement on the monarch not seeing Harry during his UK visit.
A royal commentator speculates that King Charles’ decision to not meet Prince Harry during his UK trip stemmed from ‘certain demands’ made by the Duke. Harry’s representatives claimed his father’s schedule as the reason, but the commentator suggests that Harry’s demands about who could be present may have influenced the King’s decision. The commentator also notes that other forces, such as Prince William’s opinion or the presence of Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, may have played a role.
