King Charles big Prince Harry snub revealed in latest picture.
King Charles III and Queen Camilla snubbed Prince Harry's event but attended a service at St. Paul's Cathedral in London.
King Charles III and Queen Camilla made a grand appearance at St. Paul's Cathedral in London, donning striking red robes for the Service of Dedication for the Order of the British Empire. This significant event took place just a week after the royal family notably missed Prince Harry's Invictus Games anniversary service at the same historic venue.
Prince Charles, aged 75, and his wife Camilla, aged 76, were seen at the cathedral for the service, which brought together 2000 holders of honours from the UK and the Commonwealth. The Order of the British Empire (OBE) is a prestigious order founded in 1917 by King George V to recognize contributions to the country's war efforts and has since expanded to include achievements in various fields such as arts, sciences, charitable work, and public service.
The absence of Charles and Camilla at Prince Harry's event raised eyebrows, especially considering the significance of the Invictus Games, a multi-sport event founded by Harry in 2014 to support wounded, injured, and sick servicemen and servicewomen. Royal expert Christopher Anderson highlighted the apparent rift between Charles and Harry, suggesting that the senior royals may be out of touch with the bigger picture.
Despite the missed opportunity to show support for Harry, Charles and Camilla made a statement by attending the OBE service, reinforcing their commitment to their royal duties. The service holds special significance as Charles serves as the Sovereign of the OBE, with Camilla as the Grand Master, the order's second in command.
Prince William's absence at the service due to an investiture ceremony and Princess Diana's time off from official royal duties for cancer treatment further emphasized the challenges faced by the royal family. Charles, who recently returned to public duties amid his own battle with cancer, continues to navigate a busy schedule while maintaining his royal responsibilities.
The Duke of Sussex's UK trip, which included the Invictus Games anniversary service, was met with speculation about a potential meeting with his father. However, a representative for Harry confirmed that due to Charles's full program, a meeting was not possible during this visit. Despite the missed opportunity for a private meeting, Harry remains understanding of his father's commitments and hopes to reunite with him soon.
Following his UK visit, Harry and his wife Meghan Markle embarked on a trip to Nigeria, invited by the Chief of Defense Staff. The couple's continued engagements reflect their dedication to various causes and their ongoing efforts to make a positive impact on the world.
