In the wake of Prince Harry's recent appearance at the Las Vegas NFL awards bash, where he made no mention of his ailing father King Charles, the royal family and King Charles have chosen to spotlight Prince William's significant royal role in a new video.
The Royal Family's social media accounts featured images of Prince William and his aunt Princess Anne as they fulfilled their royal duties amidst King Charles and Princess Kate's health crisis. However, Buckingham Palace refrained from providing any glimpse of Harry's meeting with his father, King Charles.
A statement from the Palace read, "This week, The Prince of Wales and The Princess Royal hosted Investiture Ceremonies at Windsor Castle – congratulations to all those who received their Honours!"

From touring new facilities to presenting awards, swipe through our gallery to see some of the highlights of this week’s Royal activities, events and engagements.
These new posts from the royal family come in the aftermath of Harry's latest stunt in Las Vegas, where he surprised fans with his first speech after meeting King Charles. Despite the significant event, Harry's speech at the NFL awards ceremony was notably devoid of any mention of his father's cancer. Instead, he humorously compared rugby to American football, jesting, "You stole rugby from us!"
Harry's omission of any reference to the King in his speech sparked speculation and questions about his meeting with his father, with some suggesting that "it seems Harry was given the cold shoulder by the royal family."
