Prince William Reportedly Prefers Prince Harry’s Absence at Future Coronation

[Social Media]

 

Prince William has reportedly expressed a desire for his younger brother, Prince Harry, to be absent from his future coronation. According to a recent article in The Sunday Times, published in honor of Prince Harry’s upcoming 40th birthday in September, the Duke of Cambridge does not wish for Harry to attend the ceremony that will mark his ascension to the throne following the death of their father, King Charles III.

 

At 42 years old, Prince William is preparing for his eventual role as king, and it appears he wants his crowning to be distinct from past ceremonies. As sources close to William suggest, this could include excluding Prince Harry from the event. “They are estranged, which is dreadfully sad,” shared one of the brothers’ closest friends. This statement underscores the deep rift between the two, who reportedly have not spoken in nearly two years.

 

The tension between William and Harry has been public knowledge for some time, particularly after Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, made the decision to step down from their roles as senior royals in 2020. Following their move to California, Harry and Meghan aired grievances against the royal family in various public forums, including a high-profile interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, their Netflix docuseries "Harry & Meghan," and Harry’s memoir "Spare." These revelations have only deepened the divide between Harry and his family, particularly with William and their father, King Charles III.

 

The strain on Harry’s relationship with the royal family extends beyond his brother. King Charles, who assumed the throne after Queen Elizabeth II’s death in 2022, reportedly struggles with how to rebuild trust with his younger son. “The problem for the King and other members of the family is the worry that if they have a chat with Harry, it will appear in ‘Spare’ volume two,” a friend of Charles remarked. The concern is that any private conversation could be used as material for another public exposé. “How do you regain the trust? I don’t think Harry ever can,” the friend added, expressing a sentiment that appears to be shared by other members of the royal family.

 

Despite the strained relations, this source believes that King Charles still holds out hope for reconciliation. “But from the conversations I’ve had with the King, I would never say their relationship is irreparable,” the friend continued. “The King’s capacity to forgive his son is undimmed. There are other members of the royal family who are much more weighted against Harry, that’s the problem.” This highlights a significant point: while King Charles may be open to mending the relationship, others within the family might not share his willingness to forgive.

 

Criticism of Harry’s actions has also come from some of his closest friends, who view his public attacks on the family as deeply disloyal. “I can’t believe he’d stoop so low. It’s outrageously disloyal. Oprah, Netflix, and then the book? Three strikes and you’re out,” said one of Harry’s friends. This sentiment reflects the disappointment and frustration felt by those who once supported Harry but now struggle to reconcile with his decisions.

 

A former aide to Prince Harry also expressed concerns about his current path, suggesting that he may be struggling to find a clear purpose in life since his departure from the UK and his royal duties. “He loved the army and was very good at his job. The work with Invictus is great and fatherhood was the role he most wanted, so perhaps those are enough for him,” the aide explained. “But everything else is a bit woolly. I always thought he wanted more from life. I can’t help but think he must be wondering, ‘Where do I go from here?’” This observation highlights the uncertainty that may now define Harry’s life as he navigates his new role outside the royal sphere.

 

In recent months, Prince Harry has publicly addressed the ongoing strain in his relationship with his family. In an interview with ITV’s Rebecca Barry, Harry suggested that the royal family’s unwillingness to challenge the press played a central role in their falling out. “I think that’s certainly a central piece to it,” Harry said. However, he acknowledged the difficulty in discussing these issues openly. “But that’s a hard question to answer because anything I say about my family results in a torrent of abuse from the press,” he added, indicating the complexity of the situation.

 

The relationship between Harry and the royal family has been further complicated by the accusations made during his and Meghan Markle’s 2021 interview with Oprah. During the interview, Markle claimed that the royal family had raised “concerns” about the potential darkness of their son Archie’s skin, a revelation that shocked many. Harry confirmed his wife’s claims, though he declined to share specific details. “That conversation I am never going to share, but at the time it was awkward. I was a bit shocked,” Harry admitted. The couple’s decision to publicly disclose such sensitive information has only deepened the divide with the royal family.

 

In his memoir "Spare," Harry did not shy away from further criticism, particularly targeting Queen Consort Camilla. He accused his stepmother of orchestrating negative press coverage against him, claiming that her PR team “spun” stories that cast him in a bad light. Harry’s memoir also delves into his complicated relationship with William, whom he referred to as both his “beloved brother and arch nemesis.” The book details their past verbal and physical altercations, offering an intimate look at the tensions that have long simmered between the two brothers.

Harry comes across as a man that lost his mind when he met her.

 

However, given the long history of being regarded as not Charles' son ( if you don't know what that is about it's too long to go into here, but it's on loads of internet sites eg https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/reports/a42415218/prince-harry-real-father/

 

so perhaps Harry is just letting hurt feelings for much of his life take over and letting it all hang out, and perhaps a bit of revenge.

The Trouble with Harry....

I don't blame him.

 

Hopefully he will be stripped of his titles as well. Harry could find himself in a tight spot once Markle moves onto her next victim and he's spent his 30 pieces of silver. He'll be back with his ginger tail between his legs.

Harry's biggest crime was to detail in his book how he lost his virginity to an older woman in a field behind a pub where she rode him like a young stallion; he gave no thought for the woman herself and her right to privacy.

Even worse, he neglected his own children by not considering that one day they would be able to read about Daddy's first experience in his own words.  I'm sure these words will be thrown in their faces by kids they socialise with at school and sports, and by the press looking for a reaction.  I feel sorry for his kids!

And of course it is all everybody else's fault, never Harry's!

 

To quote Julius Caesar, as reported by no less credible historical source than the "Carry On" scriptwriters, "Infamy, infamy, they've all got it in for me!"

 

His posturing encompasses narcissistic self indulgence, pathetic and parody. What he and his wife did to his Grandmother, with that pack of self pitying lies in that appalling interview is on its own unforgivable.

 

That is why he is out of his family. I'm sure that his father, the King struggles with his son's estrangement, but his son estranged himself. Prince William is fiercely loyal to his father and his family, remember the oath he very publicly swore at the Coronation? He won't break that.

Totally agree. Charles is too soft and enables Harry's spoiled, entitled behaviour.

 

William on the other hand will never forgive Harry for what he has done and said about him and his family, especially Catherine. Once William becomes King, Harry's cord will be cut. Markle will probably have moved on to an ageing Dem Tech billionaire by then so he'll be out in the cold. Complete self destruction. But like Ice T said, "you played yourself".

Is there any sane person who looks at the utterly dysfunctional, totally self obsessed family with anything other than scorn? 

 

I imagine that kings of old showed leadership, courage and wisdom. There is not one of these clowns who has an ounce of any of these qualities. 

 

Self obsessed, arrogant and totally  detached from reality, how much longer can we be made to endure and to finance this farce?

Finance?

The only two I liked were Princess Diana and Princess Margaret.

I don't give a hood I am against royalties at all they just leach what did they do to the country? And that includes the one who lives overseas we can't mention.

Not a single source named as usual. Isn't that publication owned by the same liar, Murdoch, who was sued over coverage of the American 2020 election? Then required to pay $750 million to the plaintiff. I hold it in the same regard as the British trash tabloids. Not fit for use as a fish wrap. It has fallen greatly since Lord Thompson was proprietor.
