Prince Harry finds solace in his late grandmother's recognition as he grapples with recent personal setbacks.
Deeply affected by what he perceives as a snub from King Charles and Prince William during his recent visit to the UK, Prince Harry leaves an enduring mark on media narratives.
In a poignant moment at St. Paul’s Cathedral, the Duke of Sussex proudly showcases his military accomplishments while delivering a speech commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.
Despite no longer being a working member of the royal family, he adorns his customary black tuxedo with the KCVO Neck Order and Star, bestowed upon him by the late Queen in recognition of his ‘services to the monarchy’.
Speaking to the Mirror, royal expert Tom Quinn suggests that Harry's choice of attire carries a significant message for his ailing father, King Charles, and his brother, Prince William.
"Harry's decision to wear his Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order medal at St. Paul's Cathedral during the Invictus service is deeply symbolic. This medal, presented to him by his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, in 2015, serves as a poignant reminder of his invaluable contribution to the monarchy."
"By wearing this emblem, Harry subtly communicates to his family that his grandmother acknowledged his efforts, even if his father and brother have not," explains the expert.
"Wearing the KCVO neck and star also serves as Harry's assertion that he is not the rebellious figure often portrayed by his immediate family. It's his way of affirming his continued support for the monarchy despite feeling marginalized. More importantly, wearing the medal signifies Harry's resilience, conveying a message that while everything else may have been stripped away from him, this recognition remains steadfast," adds Mr. Quinn.
