King Charles Delivers a Brutal Snub to Sussex: Prince Harry Excluded from BBC Royal Documentary

Prince Harry finds himself once again on the outskirts, this time excluded from the upcoming BBC royal documentary. Scheduled to air during the Christmas season, the program focuses on senior Royals reflecting on the passing of Queen Elizabeth one year later and revisiting King Charles's first year on the throne. Notably, Prince Harry's name is conspicuously absent from any mention in the documentary, deliberately excluding him. The documentary offers viewers insights into the lead-up to the coronation, including intriguing moments like Archbishop Justin Welby's humorous admission of his memory lapses during rehearsals for the momentous occasion. 

The Archbishop humorously equates his memory to that of a spaniel, essentially zero. Despite his complex relationship with his father, Prince Harry made the journey from his California home to Westminster Abbey to witness his father's coronation. Meanwhile, his wife Meghan Markle and their two children opted to stay in the serene surroundings of Montecito. While other members of the royal family will make appearances in the documentary, it is Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, who takes center stage. Princess Anne reflects on her late mother, Queen Elizabeth, during her final days at Balmoral in 2022. 

She reveals that the Monarch had concerns about the practicalities of passing away outside of London and the potential challenges it might pose for funeral arrangements. Princess Anne recalls the moment when Queen Elizabeth felt that it would be more difficult if she died at Balmoral, even though they tried to persuade her otherwise. Interestingly, after Queen Elizabeth's passing, Princess Anne experienced an unusual sense of relief, feeling that the responsibility had finally been lifted.

In the behind-the-scenes BBC documentary, Prince William is seen rehearsing for the event, playfully joking with his father, Prince Charles, about a clasp on a robe. There's a heartwarming moment between Charles and Catherine, the Princess of Wales, as they return to the palace after the coronation, with Catherine sweetly kissing her father-in-law's cheeks and curtsying. Prince Edward also makes a brief appearance, encouraging his brother, the king, with words of support.

However, in stark contrast to these warm familial scenes, Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, offers a different perspective as a perceived outsider within the palace walls. He contemplates joining LinkedIn, a move that sets him apart as the only HRH considering such a step. This contrast reveals the complex dynamics within the royal family, with the front-line members often engaged in ceaseless PR maneuvering akin to the cunning Medici family, while Prince Harry's narratives in his Netflix series and his memoir depict the inner workings of the firm as unappealing as a cold sausage roll.
