Prince Harry is reportedly said to be "between a rock and a hard place" as he juggles prioritising his wife Meghan Markle and a Royal Family health crisis.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex jetted out to Jamaica earlier this week to make a rare red carpet appearance at the Bob Marley: One Love film premiere.
Their appearance comes just days after Harry accepted an honour at the Living Legends of Aviation Awards.
As the pair attended the glitzy events, on the other side of the pond, King Charles and the Princess of Wales have both been seeking medical treatment.
Princess Kate is currently recovering in hospital from abdominal surgery, while the monarch is set to undergo treatment for an enlarged prostate.
At the Living Legend of Aviation Awards, Harry made a speech where he avoided any reference to his father and sister-in-law's health issues. Instead, Harry joked about his first flight experience.
Royal expert Angela Levin said Harry disregarded the Royal health problems, something which reflects the tense relationship the Sussexes have with The Firm.
Speaking to The Sun, she said: "He didn't say anything. I felt that he was bound to say 'I’m so sorry to hear that both my father and sister-in-law are unwell'. He just needed to say one sentence."
Angela said Harry seems to be stuck "between a rock and a hard place". She added: "Deep down he still loves his family but she comes first and that’s ok."
Harry and Meghan were slammed for their decision to fly to Jamaica for the Bob Marley: One Love premiere, with many experts calling on them to instead visit the UK and support the Royal Family. Royal expert Phil Dampier told the Daily Mail: "Under normal circumstances there would be nothing wrong with them going to a film premiere.
