Funeral of Prince Philip, the Royal Family dressed in mourning
Update 17.41 – April 19: According to reports from the Daily Mail, Harry is already returning to Los Angeles on a British Airways flight. Therefore, he will not attend Queen Elizabeth’s birthday.
Harry doesn’t go back to Meghan Markle, at least for now. In fact, it seems that the Prince intends to postpone his return to Los Angeles to celebrate the Queen’s birthday Elizabeth that on April 21 turns off 95 candles. The first birthday without Philip after 73 years.
According to reports from the Daily Mail, Harry would have booked an open flight to the United States, proof that he intends to stop in London for a few more days, to be next to his grandmother who will turn 95 on April 21, a significant destination that Elizabeth must however celebrate without her husband, Prince Philip, whose funeral took place on Saturday 17 April, so not even a week after Her Majesty’s birthday.
Harry’s intention to extend his stay at home by a few days would be a consequence of the nearly two-hour conversation with his older brother, William, who would have dispelled all grudges between them. Crucial was the intervention of Kate Middleton in breaking the ice between the two. Among other things, the Dukes of Cambridge celebrate on April 29th the 10th wedding anniversary, another opportunity for Harry to permanently reconnect with the couple.
Therefore, Meghan Markle will have to wait longer than expected to see her husband again. The absence of the former actress at Filippo’s funeral because she is pregnant has perhaps favored Harry’s rapprochement with his family. According to rumors, the Prince would be entertained with William and his father Carlo after the last farewell of the grandfather. A meeting that would finally clarify the disagreements, fueled recently by the Sussex interview with Oprah Winfrey where Harry described his dad in an unedifying way, putting his reputation at risk.
Following the peace talk, a source confirmed to the Sun: “Hopefully, Harry should stop by for the Queen’s birthday.” Evidently the personal meeting of the Prince with William and Charles had relaxing effects, a goal always pursued by Elisabetta who tried at all times to resolve the family crisis by extending her hand to her nephew and Meghan several times.
If Harry’s presence is confirmed on Her Majesty’s birthday, it would be an important sign that relations between the Prince and his closest relatives have unlocked and the wound caused by the Megxit has healed.
William and Harry would therefore have met with Charles after Philip’s funeral at Windsor Castle. An insider said: “We are only at the beginning, but it seems that this is the first step towards what the Duke of Edinburgh has always hoped for them ”.
That of April 17 was the first meeting between William and Harry in over a year, that is, since the second son of Charles and Diana moved to California with Meghan and Archie. The two will meet again on July 1st when the statue for Lady Diana will be inaugurated at Kensington Palace. Well, Harry is back expected in London for the summer.
