Does unity between King Charles, Prince William make Prince Harry insecure?

Harry now resides in California with his family amid a bitter feud with his father and brother

Prince Harry will likely feel some sadness as his royal relatives gathered for events to commemorate D-Day, according to an expert.

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the pivotal moment in the Second World War, and as with most military commemorations, there will be a significant royal presence. 

Today, King Charles joined his son, Prince William, at the UK’s national commemorative event in Portsmouth before they both travel to France for further events on Thursday.

Notably absent will be Harry, who resigned from his working royal role four years ago and now resides in California amid a bitter feud with his father and brother. Harry, an Army veteran himself, has seen active service on tours of duty in Afghanistan.

And royal historian and expert Dr Tessa Dunlop believes Harry will be the missing link at the commemorations, especially given his strong military background. She told the Mirror: “Once upon a time Prince Harry was a regular fixture at D-Day commemorations.

Does unity between King Charles, Prince William make Prince Harry insecure?

“His particular blend of emotional intelligence and military experience meant he always got the most out of the WWII veterans. In 2016 he famously wished a couple of nonagenarians well before their annual pilgrimage to Normandy, telling them how much he respected their actions on the beaches, then cheekily adding ‘don’t get into trouble and if you do, don’t get caught!”

“A few of those D-Day veterans are still alive and will be in France for this year’s 80th anniversary commemorations. 

Also paying their respects at Britain’s Normandy Memorial will be the King, on his first overseas trip since cancer treatment, and Queen Camilla. Meanwhile, the Canadian commemorative ceremony at Juno Beach will be attended by the Prince of Wales.

“It is a busy week for this royal trio, with Charles and Camilla attending a national memorial service and light show in Portsmouth before setting off for France. Of course, the missing link in all of this is Harry, a veteran and a respected name in military circles courtesy of his Afghanistan tours and Invictus Games success story.

“For the Duke of Sussex, looking on from the other side of the Atlantic, there will be some sadness. War is raging in the East of Europe right now and the Duke knows his presence not only captures headlines and boosts the Sussex brand, but helps tie war stories from the past to those in the present day.

“Likewise it is a loss for the Royal Family. The ageing King and Camilla with dutiful William know the drill but lack the pizzazz and lived frontline experience that these events thrive on.”

However, Tessa added that when it comes to the commemorations, it’s not the royals but the veterans themselves, who are the real stars of the show. 

She explained: “To view D-Day commemorative events through a royal prism is perhaps the wrong approach. As long as a few brave veterans can make those beaches, they are the real stars of the show. The royals, along with the rest of us, can only bow our heads in gratitude. Harry or no Harry, this is living history at its best.”

Neighbours annoyed by Meghan Markle, Prince Harry’s presence: ‘moping around’

The couple stepped down as working royals and leaving the UK in 2020

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s neighbours are reportedly “fed up” and eagerly awaiting their departure.

Since moving into their £12 million Montecito mansion after stepping down as working royals and leaving the UK in 2020, the couple has faced some negative opinions from those living nearby.

Many neighbours have begun voicing their discontent, with one anonymous resident expressing strong dissatisfaction with the couple, who live there with their two children, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three.

Speaking to the Montecito Journal, the disgruntled homeowner said that they “cannot wait for her [Meghan] to go”.

Another neighbour, Frank McGinity, said that he was turned away from their gates after trying to perform a nice gesture.

The navy veteran, who lives next door to the couple, tried to share some films he made about the local history of the area, thinking they would have been interested in learning about their new home.

However, the 88-year-old was promptly snubbed by security guards. He said: “The gate guy turned me away and wouldn’t take the film, just saying ‘they’re not interested.’

“I was trying to be neighbourly,” he recounted in his memoir Get Off Your Street.

He also expressed his bewilderment over the pair’s decision to move to the Riven Rock estate, which normally skews towards an older demographic.

He told the local publication: “We don’t see them very much around here.”

A columnist for the paper said that he also did not see the couple very much out and about in the area.

Richard Mineard said: “It’s a very wealthy community, we have a lot of people giving a lot of money to our cultural organisations as well as charities, but we don’t see them.

“They live rather splendidly, it couldn’t be a nicer place.

“The community is waiting for them – they’re gnashing at the bit. The cachet of a Duke and Duchess!”

He said the limited few times he has seen the pair, Harry has been riding his bike, taking a walk, or heading out for lunch.

Meanwhile Meghan, has been spotted a few times moping around the area on a shopping or lunch trip.

Why King Charles skipped Beatrice’s daughter celebration but honored Harry’s birthday

Published

By


King Charles recently made headlines by celebrating his youngest son, Prince Harry, on his milestone 40th birthday with a heartfelt post on the Royal Family’s official social media channel. 

However, the same fanfare did not extend to Princess Beatrice’s daughter, Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi, who turned three on Wednesday.

While the Duke of Sussex received a warm birthday wish from the King, Sienna’s special day passed without any public acknowledgment from the Royal Family. 

This decision may stem from Princess Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi’s desire to keep their daughter out of the limelight and maintain a level of privacy for their young family.

As royal watchers speculate on the contrasting celebrations, it’s clear that the family is navigating the balance between public duties and personal choices in their approach to royal life.

Princess Beatrice is known for her low-key approach to social media, seldom sharing images of her daughter which reflects her desire for privacy. 

In contrast, Harry received public birthday wishes from both Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace on September 15, marking a significant moment for the Duke of Sussex.

This year’s celebration was particularly noteworthy, as it was the first time in two years that Buckingham Palace acknowledged Harry’s birthday in its posts.

Speculation among royal watchers suggests that this change may stem from a decision made by the late Queen Elizabeth II, who reportedly chose to publicly recognize the birthdays of non-working royals only when they end in a zero.

Diddy’s former protege and ‘fall guy’ Shyne Barrow reacts to mogul’s arrest

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was arrested on September 17 and denied bail twice

Moses “Shyne” Barrow, former Bad Boy rapper turned politician, is breaking his silence following the arrest of his ex-mentor, Sean “Diddy” Combs.

During a press conference in Belize, Barrow, who is now the Leader of the Opposition in the Belize House of Representatives, accused Combs of ruining his life.

“When I was an 18-year-old kid, just wanting to do nothing other than make my mother proud,” began Barrow. “I was defending [Combs] and he turned around and called witnesses to testify against me. He pretty much sent me to prison,” he claimed. 

Their history dates back to 1999, when Barrow was convicted of first-degree assault for a nightclub shooting in New York that left three people injured. Combs, who was also implicated, claimed self-defence and was acquitted of all charges.

However, Barrow served nearly a decade behind bars, being released in 2009 before his deportation to Belize.

Barrow continued of the disgraced mogul, “This is someone who destroyed my life, and who I forgave.” He explained that he did so for the “better interest of Belize” so the country could benefit from Combs’ investment and contributions to education.
