Collaboratively, Prince William, Kate Middleton, and King Charles are tactfully executing a nuanced strategy to effect this gradual erasure.
Publicly, Prince William and Kate Middleton openly laid bare the depth of their discord with Prince Harry.
In a conspicuous move, the Prince and Princess of Wales omitted the former royal from their birthday post for King Charles on his silver jubilee milestone on Tuesday, Nov. 14. The post showcased three images—one capturing William and Charles in an embrace, and another featuring the King and Queen with Kate, William, and their three children from this year’s Trooping of Colour.
Royal author Daniela Elser, contributing to News.com.au, emphasized that Kensington Palace actively sought to "find a shot of just the King and his heir, sans Harry."
Elser also disclosed that the King-in-waiting is unequivocal in expressing his sentiments toward his troublesome sibling.
From the Duke's spontaneous eviction from Frogmore College residence in February to consistently ignoring royal invitations throughout the year, and strategically omitting any mention of Harry during the Remembrance weekend's Invictus Games, Elser highlighted the Royal Family's gradual and subtle strategy to "erase" the father of two from their hierarchy.
"With William and Kate’s birthday post for Charles, they are conveying a crystal-clear message," she shared. "The duke is no longer part of the narrative, and concerted efforts are underway to ensure his gradual fade into oblivion."
