Prince Harry's drastic decision that will alienate him even further from his brother William
He won't be attending a party honoring his mother; a royal expert estimated that the absence of him will further open the gap between the two
This coming Tuesday night, Kensington Palace will host a ceremony to honor Lady Di on the day she would have turned 60. The event was to take place in July when the statue of Diana was discovered, but had to be postponed due to the pandemic. The objective of the meeting is to thank the donors who financed the commemorative figure that is in the palace gardens.
However, unlike what happened in July when Prince Harry specially traveled to London to discover the statue, this time he will not attend the meeting, organized by his brother William of his.
In this sense, according to a royal expert, Harry's absence will increase the gap that currently exists between the siblings. “I think it's very sad that Harry doesn't attend. He will be sorely missed, ”Duncan Larcombe, author of Prince Harry: The Inside Story, told The Mirror. OK!
“Obviously, he now lives very far away and we still have travel restrictions, but it is entirely possible that he will return to the UK, as he demonstrated in July for the statue's unveiling. Diana's two children should be there. Unfortunately, this is just further confirmation that things are not going well between the brothers, ”he completed.
The royal expert, in turn, believes that William should make some reference to Harry when he thanks donors at the event. “It will be interesting to see if he makes any comments regarding his brother,” Larcombe said, adding, “William should thank the people who will be gathering there on behalf of him and his brother. We will have to wait until Tuesday before we can draw conclusions about whether the malaise has deepened. "
With the announcement that Harry is in the process of writing an autobiography and the memories of Oprah's interview still fresh in the minds of the royal family, it is no surprise that relations between the brothers remain bitter, Duncan said.
"It is not easy to forget how personal the attack on Oprah against Kate was," said the expert. “William is understandably very protective of Kate. Let's not forget that Meghan directly accused her of making her cry and not the other way around. Then she also pointed out that she was responsible for informing journalists against her, or at least for not clarifying the truth of the story, when in reality it is a very strong accusation to make publicly, "he completed.
Despite all the rancor, Duncan describes Harry's absence from the memorial party as “a missed opportunity”: “I have been told that there is a 'wait and see what's in Harry's book' attitude right now between the Royal family. But the reality is that Diana's commemorative party is another missed opportunity for the two brothers to get together. "
