Yesterday, the British royal family celebrated the one-year anniversary of the coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla. The event took place at Westminster Abbey in London, and it was a momentous occasion for the entire family.
However, there was one noticeable absence during the celebration. Prince Harry, the younger son of the monarch and Princess Diana, had very little to no screen time. This is quite unusual, considering that he hasn’t had an official role in the royal family since 2020 and has not been actively working within the royal household. Many see this as a clear snub to the Prince, and it seems that he has fallen out of favor, largely due to his wife.
Prince Harry is fondly remembered by the public for his role in the movie “Charles III.” During the coronation last year, he spent only 28 hours in the UK. As he walked into Westminster Abbey alone, a large candle accidentally obscured his view during the service. This incident is often cited as a reason for his limited presence at the recent celebration.
Interestingly, the candle incident had also occurred at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022. Meghan Markle, Prince Harry’s wife, was also obscured by the same candle on that day. Although she was absent from the coronation celebration, it is believed that this incident played a part in her absence. The film commemorating the coronation even features a new song by Simon Armitage titled “Uninvited Guest,” capturing the atmosphere of the event.
In other news, the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, a sporting event supported by Prince Harry, will be held at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London on May 8. Prince Harry will be attending, but Meghan Markle will not be present. Instead, she will join him later in Nigeria for an event inspired by the competition.
There have been rumors regarding Meghan Markle’s absence, attributing it to past family issues and her unpopularity in Britain. Another possibility is that she wants to avoid controversy and additional attention, especially since the royal family is already facing challenges, with the monarch battling cancer and Kate Middleton not feeling well.
Even Prince William and Kate Middleton extended an invitation for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to visit London with their children, Archie Harrison and Lilibet Diana, as they haven’t seen them in a long time. Unfortunately, this missed opportunity for reconciliation leaves many hoping for Prince Harry’s eventual return home.
Overall, the one-year anniversary of the coronation was a significant occasion for the royal family, although overshadowed by the absence of Prince Harry and the speculation surrounding it. The future of the monarchy remains uncertain, but one thing is for sure – the British public will be eagerly awaiting any developments and hoping for harmony within the royal household.
