In 2023, the King’s Birthday holiday came off the back of a successful coronation of King Charles III that heralded in a new era for the British monarchy. One year later, and there’s little to celebrate for the royals this year. While King Charles is returning to royal duties after his treatment for cancer, Princess Kate reportedly has an empty diary for the rest of the year as she continues her treatment and recovery from her own cancer journey.
It means Prince William continues to lead the way for the family, with reports of him having to call in his cousins to assist with some duties. In among the health crises and overstuffed diaries, more tensions have emerged between Prince Harry and his family, after he visited London and did not meet with the King while in town. UK correspondent Gavin Grey told The Front Page that this laid bare the rift between father and son.
“I think we’ve talked about it before, but without any evidence. I think this is hard evidence. One of the engagements that Prince Charles was doing was a tea party.
Now, you’re not telling me that he couldn’t have squeezed in half an hour for Prince Harry. Harry was, at one point, 3km away. It’s just so sad actually.
“I would say this - a source of mine said, ‘imagine if you think that, you are meeting your son or you are meeting your brother and you’re not sure whether anything you say is then going to be made public and put into print’.” The meeting came after Harry and Meghan visited.
