Canadian Prime Minister Praises Duke as Queen Camilla Befriends His A-Lister Pal
Harry has received a wave of support from notable figures after achieving a significant milestone, despite a reported snub from Queen Camilla.
The Duke of Sussex, who shares a strained relationship with the royal family—especially his stepmother—was celebrated for the successful conclusion of the Invictus Games in Canada. The closing ceremony drew a crowd of 12,000 people, who gave Harry a standing ovation for his dedication to the adaptive sporting event he founded in 2014 through the Royal Foundation.
Notably, there was no public recognition from the royal family for the achievement. However, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attended the event and praised Harry’s commitment.
“You are the one who turned this incredible idea into a reality,” Trudeau said. “I can testify to the energy, dedication, and commitment this man has to you and to this ideal.”
Meanwhile, Queen Camilla hosted a glamorous dinner at Buckingham Palace to celebrate the National Theatre, where she was seen sharing a light-hearted moment with James Corden, a close friend of Harry. The interaction was perceived by some as a subtle snub, given Harry’s absence and the timing of the event.
Despite this, Harry continued to receive support from influential figures. On Monday, Trudeau took to Instagram to further commend the Duke and the Invictus Games:
“They’ve faced challenges most of us can’t imagine, and they keep pushing forward. That’s what the Invictus Games are all about,” Trudeau wrote in both English and French. “These competitors are unstoppable, and Prince Harry and I are proud to cheer them on.”
The Duke’s determination and widespread support highlight his growing influence on the global stage, even as tensions with the royal family persist.
