Funeral of Prince Philip, the Royal Family dressed in mourning
The images of William and Harry so far apart, during the funeral procession that preceded the ceremony to give the last farewell to Prince Philip, they gave good proof of the wall that has been created between the two brothers. Now check a background which would explain why at grandfather’s funeral they were physically distant.
According to what one source close to the Royal Family he revealed to the Daily Mail, behind that distance there would have been a specific will of William. Apparently it was Lady Diana’s eldest son who asked that Harry not be the person by her side during the procession that escorted Prince Philip’s coffin from Windsor Castle to St George’s Chapel, where the funeral was held. Instead of walking next to his brother, William would have asked that their cousin Peter Phillips be among them, the son of Princess Anne.
All this is a sign of a cold that not even such a painful anniversary has been able to break. Harry actually it would have been received with great coldness by the entire family. The Daily Mail also revealed that Princess Anne, Prince Edward and his wife Sophie would also be ignoring the Duke of Sussex all the time. “There is a deep sense of protection towards the Queen and of resentment towards Harry“- explained the source -” There is little sympathy for him after what, with Meghan, he told Oprah “.
It is clear the reference to the bombshell interview that he and his wife, Meghan Markle, they released a few weeks ago to the famous American presenter. A moment that probably made family relationships even colder. After the funeral ceremony, however, Kate Middleton managed to break the ice between William and Harry: thanks to her, the two brothers got closer and exchanged a few words. Prince Charles also got to have a little conversation with his second son, another small piece to recompose a lost family union.
There was also talk of Harry extending his stay in London to attend the 95th birthday of Queen Elizabeth II – and maybe even to celebrate Kate and William’s 10th wedding anniversary, which falls on April 29th. It would have been a good way to reconnect a little more, but apparently Harry he would have already left for Los Angeles, where his wife Meghan is waiting for him, pregnant.
