Prince Harry 'playing the victim' after snubbing King's olive branch, says Royal expert

Prince Harry is reportedly "upset" over King Charles' intention to have Prince Andrew take up residence at Frogmore Cottage, a Royal commentator has claimed.The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were gifted Frogmore Cottage as a wedding present from Queen Elizabeth II.The couple then transformed the four-bedroom property with a £2.4million refurbishment.They settled into the historic home in 2019 but vacated after their bombshell decision to step back from Royal duties in 2020. In March last year, the Duke and Duchess were officially evicted from the property, with King Charles planning for his brother Prince Andrew to relocate to there.

The seventh Duke of Westminster, Hugh Grosvenor, is marrying Olivia Henson at what has been so far dubbed the society wedding of the year. However, two people that won't be on the guest list are his old pal, Prince Harry, and his wife, Meghan Markle.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly not been invited to this year's Trooping the Colour, making it the second year in a row that the Sussexes have been left off the event's guest list.The couple, who stepped down from being working Royals in 2020, attended the Trooping the Colour, in 2018 and 2019.The event was then scaled down dramatically in 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic and took place at Windsor Castle without a large gathering of the Royal Family. Harry and Meghan then attended the event again in 2022 when they visited the UK for the late Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee.

People confirmed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were not invited to this year’s annual celebration of the British monarch’s birthday. The event is set for June 15 in London. This is the second time the couple has been snubbed, as they were also not invited last year, which was the inaugural year that Trooping the Colour happened during King Charles’ reign.

The Royal Family always celebrates a big occasion in the month of June: the annual Trooping the Colour parade.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's daughter, Princess Lilibet, celebrates her third birthday today. King Charles' granddaughter was born at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California on June 4, 2021 and is the younger sister of Prince Archie. Initially styled as Lilibet Diana Mountbatten Windsor, it was confirmed in 2023 that she and her elder brother would use princely titles as their parents did not want to deny them their "birth right".

Slingo.Calling Harry a “destructive” person to have close to the Firm, Burrell added that the royals are always guessing as to “what he is going to do next.”Since stepping away from the royal spotlight, Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have built a life of their own in sunny Montecito, Calif.Despite being 5,459 miles from London, the Sussexes have remained close to Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice — a friendship that has reportedly rubbed Kate Middleton the wrong way.According to a royal expert, the Princess of Wales, 42, is reportedly “worried” by the “alliance” the daughters of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson have formed with Harry and the “Suits” alum.“For William and Kate, an alliance between Harry and Meghan and Beatrice and Eugenie is a huge worry,” royal expert and author Tom Quinn told the Mirror.“Although Harry and Meghan have little sympathy for Prince Andrew, they’ve kept in regular contact with Beatrice and Eugenie, who have always been free of any associations with Meghan’s angry, bitter time in the UK.”“The situation is made worse by the fact that the senior royals’ main asset — Kate herself — is effectively out of action while she continues her treatment for cancer,” he added.Eugenie has even visited the Sussexes in the US, with the pair seen watching the Super Bowl together back in 2022.She was also the only figure from the royal family to make an appearance in his Netflix docuseries “Harry & Meghan.”

told The Mirror.“Although Harry and Meghan have little sympathy for Prince Andrew, they’ve kept in regular contact with Beatrice and Eugenie who have always been free of any associations with Meghan’s angry, bitter time in the UK.”Quinn believes Princess Catherine fears that Beatrice and Eugenie have more in common with the Sussexes as non-working royals.“They sense that Beatrice and Eugenie feel that, as virtual outcasts themselves, they have far more in common with Harry and Megan than with any other part of the family,” Quinn added.“The situation is made worse by the fact that the senior royals’ main asset — Kate herself — is effectively out of action while she continues her treatment for cancer.”Harry, 39, has remained close to Eugenie, 34, since he and Markle quit royal life in 2020.Eugenie has even visited the Sussexes in the US, with the pair seen watching the Super Bowl together back in 2022.

One of the Royal Family's closest friends is counting down to his wedding day, but it has not been without its fair share of questions when it comes to the guest list. The Duke of Westminster, 33, will marry Olivia Henson later this year in what has been dubbed 'the society event of the year'. While the full list of those in attendance is not yet confirmed, Prince William is expected to serve as an usher, while Prince Harry will reportedly not attend.

Prince Harry is "entirely in the shadow" of Meghan Markle as she "steals the limelight", according to an expert.The Sussexes recently embarked on a high-profile trip to Nigeria where Meghan in particular looked striking in an array of dazzling outfits and spoke publicly about discovering her Nigeria heritage. It was the couple's first overseas tour since sensationally quitting as working royals and it led to speculation that Harry appeared pushed out and worried amid his wife's star performance.

Prince Harry's "unfounded security fears" are denying his father, King Charles, the joy of fulfilling a heartfelt desire, says a Royal expert. It has been reported Harry, who shares a strained relationship with his father, declined an invitation from the King to stay at a Royal residence during his recent visit to the UK earlier this month.

Following on from Prince Harry's most recent return to the UK, a debate has been sparked about whether the Duke was invited to stay at a royal residence - something which have made it easier for Harry to have a brief meeting with his father. While representatives from both parties claim different conversations took place, it has been reported that Prince Harry rejected the offer to stay at a residence such as St James's Palace, Clarence House or Buckingham Palace over fears for his security.This decision, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond points out exclusively to OK!, is difficult to understand.

Prince Harry has been dealt his latest blow as Princess Eugenie, often dubbed his "closest cousin", was seen backing Prince William during a Buckingham Palace garden party on Tuesday.

Prince Harry seems to be getting the cold shoulder from King Charles and Prince William, a royal author has suggested. The Duke of Sussex's bond with his family has been on thin ice, particularly after he and Meghan Markle decided to step away from their senior royal duties in 2020.

Prince Archie, 5, is marrying Olivia Henson, 31, at Chester Cathedral in England on June 7.William, 41, will be an usher at the ceremony, The Sunday Times reported on May 18. Harry, meanwhile, is not going to the 400-person wedding “to avoid royal tensions overshadowing the day,” per the UK outlet.Back in December, The Times reported that Grosvenor initially wanted to invite Harry, 39, and Meghan Markle, 42, but later decided against it after realizing their presence might overshadow his nuptials.

King Charles is reportedly quite fond of spending quality time with Zara and Mike Tindall's three children. The King is a doting grandfather to five – not only Zara and Mike's kids, Mia, Lena and Lucas, but also Kate Middleton and Prince William's trio – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Yet sadly the King has had limited interaction with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's offspring, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, as they reside in the US – over 5,000 miles away from their Royal relatives in the UK.

The Royal family is undoubtedly blessed with immense wealth and privilege, but when it comes to the godparents of Prince George, their fortune seems rather modest.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have touched down in Los Angeles after a whirlwind 72-hour tour of Nigeria, where they attended various charity events, delivered a powerful speech on mental health, and met with injured servicemen and key figures.

Meghan Markle paid a moving tribute to the late Princess Diana on her tour of Nigeria with Prince Harry, where the couple put on a charming display.The Duchess of Sussex was seen wearing a stunning gold necklace with a large diamond cross that once belonged to her late mother-in-law, Diana.The necklace is believed to have recently been gifted to Meghan by Harry, 39. Meghan, 42, wore the necklace during a reception for military families in the Nigerian capital of Abuja on Saturday, May 11.

King Charles has officially appointed Prince William as the head of Harry's former regiment, the Army Air Corps, in a move perceived as a significant slight to his brother.
