On the first anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s death on September 8, 2022, Prince Harry chose not to accept an invitation from his father, King Charles, to congregate at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. This invitation from King Charles was seen by many as a gesture to mend relations, especially considering the significance of the anniversary. Prince Harry’s reason for not attending was his hectic travel schedule.

Rather than being with the Royal family in Balmoral, Prince Harry decided to spend a short solo moment at Queen Elizabeth’s final resting place, St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, prior to the family’s planned visit. He subsequently left for Germany to be part of the Invictus Games. He was later accompanied by Meghan Markle, his wife.

Ingrid Seward, the chief editor of Majesty Magazine, commented on the situation, suggesting that such an important invitation should ideally be prioritized over other commitments.

The ongoing tense relationship between Prince Harry and other members of the Royal family is well-documented, and recent events have only emphasized these tensions. The move by King Charles underscores the intricacies of relationships within the Royal family.
