Prince Harry is in England to start off this week… but don’t count on him seeing his estranged brother Prince William or his distanced dad King Charles!
The Duke of Sussex is back in the UK right now, and he will step out on Monday night at the 2024 WellChild Awards ceremony in London. WellChild is a charity that does incredible work to support seriously ill children and their families. And Meghan Markle‘s husband has been a patron of theirs for nearly two decades now! So, their annual award show is a must-do on the 40-year-old’s calendar whenever it comes around.
There’s just one problem with that: as we noted, the shindig goes down in London every year. And, well, a little ol’ thing called Buckingham Palace just so happens to be nearby. So, with Harry still estranged AF from big bro Wills and his monarch father, this trip back is once again going to be SUPER awkward!
According to People, Harry has no plans to see his 75-year-old dad or his 42-year-old brother during this trip to London. That outlet didn’t reveal how long Harry plans to be in London following the WellChild appearance. Nor do we know if Wills and/or King Charles were even given invitations to come out to the awards show of the non-profit that Harry has so loyally supported for more than 16 years now. All we know is that the rough royal family rift will remain at least through Monday night’s gala! (And, TBH, probably a LOT longer than that…)
Ugh!
We guess we shouldn’t be surprised. Who can forget how Harry and William had literally the most awkward non-interaction EVER at the memorial service for their late maternal uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes, back in late August. During the reception after that funeral, the two estranged brothers quite literally stood just a few feet apart and DIDN’T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE EACH OTHER! Sooo freakin’ awkward…
And then before that, back in May, Harry visited the UK for a really high-profile celebration commemorating ten years of his beloved Invictus Games. Unlike WellChild, Invictus is Harry’s baby. And yet Prince William and King Charles were both very visibly absent despite that event truly being one of the culminations of Harry’s charity outreach career. Rough stuff!
What do U make of this week’s non-reunion, Perezcious readers?! Will the Spare author EVER get an audience with his dad and brother again?! Does he even want one at this point?? Talk about being iced out. Yeesh!!
