Prince Harry had high hopes of accomplishing many things during his recent trip to England.
However, it has now been confirmed that Prince Harry’s brief trip to England was less successful than he had hoped, with many of his objectives unfulfilled.
Prince Harry’s visit to London was not just to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games but also to extend what seems like a pitiful olive branch to his father, King Charles III, and his older brother, Prince William.
The Duke of Sussex‘s relationship with his father has been limbo for many years. Prince William and Prince Harry have been estranged since stepping down from his royal duties and making the big move to California.
Prince Harry’s unconventional and surprising attempt at a reunion and reconciliation took the unexpected form of an email invite to his brother and father.
Meghan Markle‘s husband gesture was interpreted by many as an olive branch or perhaps even an imaginary apology.
PEOPLE Magazine confirmed: “PEOPLE understands that the Duke of Sussex invited his father, King Charles, his brother, Prince William, and his sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, for the Service of Thanksgiving commemorating a decade of the Invictus Games at St. Paul’s Cathedral on May 8.”
The Duke of Sussex and his wife, Meghan Markle, spent the past four years trashing the Royal Family and believed that an invite to a church service would create a path of reconciliation.
King Charles, a disappointing and weary Monarch, still showed his fatherly side at heart by giving a diplomatic reason for declining the invitation and letting Prince Harry down easily. His Majesty said he was too busy to attend.
However, it has been revealed that Prince William no longer gives reasons or excuses why he will not interact with Prince Harry. For the heir to the throne, Prince Harry does not exist.
The Prince of Wales believes his position is a deafening and definitive statement that needs no further explanation.
Royal expert Tom Quinn told The Mirror: “Harry’s visit to the UK has done nothing to repair royal relations – Harry has been publicly snubbed by his father and brother. Despite being stricken with cancer, King Charles says he is too busy to see his son; Harry’s brother doesn’t even bother to issue an excuse.”
He added: “He says nothing. It is as if Harry no longer exists. There’s been no obvious criticism from either side, but the silence from William is deafening.”
Prince Harry found some solace with a warm welcome in Nigeria.
