King Charles, Camilla’s appearance after snubbing Prince Harry shows he’s ‘no longer on their radar’: expert
King Charles III and Queen Camilla attended a service at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London — one week after the royal family skipped Prince Harry’s event at the same historic venue.
Charles, 75, and his wife Camilla, 76, stepped out in red robes on Wednesday for the Service of Dedication for the Order of the British Empire, which was held at the cathedral.
On May 8, Harry, 36, celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games during a service of thanksgiving at St. Paul’s, where his parents Charles and the late Princess Diana married in 1981. In 2014, Harry founded the Invictus Games, a multi-sport event for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and servicewomen.
However, Charles and Camilla missed the anniversary service as they and other senior royal family members attended the first garden party of the season at Buckingham Palace, two miles away.
Ahead of the Invictus Games’ service, it was announced that Charles would not be able to meet with his son while Harry was in the U.K. for a three-day trip to commemorate the games’ 10th anniversary.
Royal expert Christopher Anderson told Fox News Digital that Charles and Camilla have indicated that Harry is “no longer on their radar” by attending the service at St. Paul’s a week after snubbing the Duke of Sussex’s event.
“What can one say? If Charles could get dolled up in full regalia with Camilla and make this event at St Paul’s Cathedral, he certainly could have shown up a week earlier to lend support to Harry and Invictus, or at the very least spend a few minutes with his younger son at some other place of the King’s choosing,” Anderson said.
“A private meeting, however brief, would have been a major step in the right direction,” he added.
“The King and Queen Camilla have made it abundantly and repeatedly clear that Harry is no longer on their radar. A lot of this has to do with the fact that the senior royals are in their own bubble and to a great extent incapable of seeing the big picture.”
