Prince Harry’s rift with Royals showcased in ‘graphic illustration’

Prince Harry’s deep rift with the royal family has become clearer after the latest Royal wedding.

The Duke of Sussex, who was not invited at cousin Peter Phillips’ wedding in England this week, has seemingly been socially banned from the royal family.

Speaking about the development of events, Royal expert Jennie Bond said: "The fact that Harry wasn’t there is, however, another graphic illustration of the depths of the rift with his family. He came over for the funeral of his uncle, Lord Fellowes, two years ago when it was noted that he did not, as far as we know, exchange a single word with William.

She told Mirror: "But perhaps that kind of silence is easier at a funeral. At a wedding, the atmosphere is obviously completely different…and the tensions between the brothers and between Harry and the King would have soured the day. We don’t even know if Harry was in fact invited.

"There certainly was a time when he was very close to his cousin Peter and I'm sure he will have taken a passing interest in the wedding celebrations from his home in California. For all we know, he may have sent a wedding gift and greetings... if he did, it's likely to remain private."

Bond said: "This was a much needed joyful day for the family, and a chance to show that they – or at least most of them – remain united in spite of all the damaging headlines of recent times."
