The younger brother of Prince William is said to be grappling with a sense of loss after being excluded from his father's 75th birthday celebration. Initial reports suggested that King Charles extended an invitation to his estranged son, who resides in Montecito with his wife and children, to join the other royals in the UK for the event.
Contrary to these reports, a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has refuted claims that they declined an invitation, asserting that they never received one.
A source close to the California-based couple revealed that "the Duke had anticipated an invitation from the palace for his father's milestone." They conveyed that it appears Harry is silently dealing with the emotional impact of being snubbed by his own father at a time when he longs for connection with his royal relatives and seeks to ease tensions within the family through his silence.
On a contrasting note, a royal expert shared a different perspective, stating that the Duke is indifferent to not being included in his father's 75th birthday celebration. Richard Fitzwilliams suggests that Harry is unlikely to be bothered by the perceived snub: "I really don’t think Harry cares about not being invited to his father’s 75th."
However, some experts acknowledge the emotional strain when a close relative is absent from a family gathering where others come together to enjoy each other's company. English actress Denise Welch, expressing her viewpoint on the situation on GBNews, suggested, "There are other people making decisions in the Royal Family that are probably out of the King's hands, no matter how powerful he is."
