The Daily Beast knows that Prince William has no want for his brother to attend Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June, fearing his presence would overshadow the celebrations and injury the dignity of the proceedings.
“Harry’s presence on British soil is now not welcomed with the aid of his brother,” one supply said. “Last time Harry came to the U.K., William managed to be in the Alps. These things don’t appear via accident. William is ill of the sight and sound of his child brother. He doesn’t desire him there.”
Fueling hypothesis that Harry won’t make an look is that a newly fashioned polo group that Harry has joined with his pal Nacho Figueras has said that it intended to play a series of suits this summer, one of which falls on the first weekend of June.
The source instructed The Daily Beast that William would be “quite content” if Harry was unable to make the celebrations because he was “playing polo in California instead than standing next to his brother pretending to be friends.”
Of course, every polo crew has backup and reserve players, and Omid Scobie, the reporter who penned the pro-Sussex biography Finding Freedom, suggested on Twitter towards reading too an awful lot into the scheduling of games.
The queen is understood to nonetheless personally desire that her grandson will attend, and to be equipped to facilitate him to do so. However, Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace declined to comment when requested if their principals desired Harry to attend the Jubilee celebrations.
The uncomfortable truth, four weeks out from what should be one of the most ancient celebrations of majesty in British history, is that the dominant theme pervading the environment is uncertainty.
Not only does no one comprehend for sure whether Harry will attend any or all of the sequence of events, which run from Thursday to Sunday in the first week of June, however there is also good sized doubt over whether the queen will be there herself.
The palace has been quietly letting it be recognized that her attendance is via no means guaranteed, and this week there got here a new bombshell: Her Majesty will not be attending four pre-Jubilee garden events scheduled to take vicinity this month in London and Scotland.
A source at Buckingham Palace informed The Daily Beast that “the format of the events in phrases of length of time they ultimate and the usual amount of time standing” have been “key factors in different household participants attending on her behalf.”
All sources that the Daily Beast have spoken to agree it is still pretty possible that Harry, on the other hand angry he is with his family—and regardless of the historic low watermark that his family members with his brother have hit—could attend the Jubilee, largely out of respect for his grandmother.
It be referred to that in his Today exhibit interview with Hoda Kotb he cautioned he was “trying” to do just that, and also desired to introduce his youngest baby to Her Majesty, but that a variety of logistical and “security issues” wanted to be sorted out first.
It was once remarkable that in his interview with Kotb, Harry, when requested if he ignored his brother (or father), declined to answer the question. It is pretty clear that the relationship between Harry and William is as bad as it has ever been, not helped by way of nervousness on William’s phase around the convention-shattering choice of Harry to write an “entirely honest” memoir, due to be published later this year, which William fears may additionally are seeking for to injury the monarchy.
Adding to the animus is that William and his household had been deeply dismayed by using Harry going on American TV just days after assembly his grandmother and suggesting that she was once now not being desirable seemed after and that it was up to him to make sure she used to be “protected” and had “the proper humans around her.”
It broken what little trust used to be left after countless years of feuding between Harry and William, such as Harry’s allegation on Oprah that William was “trapped” in the royal household and that Kate made Meghan cry in the run-up to her wedding, and that the palace then failed to right newspaper reviews saying that the contrary happened.
Emily Andrews, a pro royal observer and former royal editor for the Sun and the Mail on Sunday, informed The Daily Beast: “William is a pragmatist so I’m positive he can see the benefits in Harry now not coming. It would be a lot less difficult for everyone. It’s a get together of the queen and her dutiful longevity, but if Harry and Meghan come, all the focal point will be on them as a substitute than her. But William has played his playing cards very shut to his chest at some point of the total component and stated nothing about it to anyone, so you can be sure he would not be actively agitating for Harry not to come.
UPDATE: Prince Harry will play the entire 12 goal polo season at Santa Barbara with his #LosPadres teammates (@nachofigueras, @kekomagrini, Juan Guerrero):

“The higher question is whether or not Harry wants to come. Remember, Harry believes the press killed his mother. His objective now, as he has stated himself, is to stop the press killing his spouse or children. That fear may also be paranoia, but it is how he authentically feels. The platinum jubilee is a four-day event the place press and photographers would know his place at all times. I can see him not signing up for that, and possibly coming over once more on a non-public visit with the adolescents later in the year.
“The reality is that a last decision hasn’t been taken but and is not going to be taken until about a week earlier than the jubilee.”
The royal creator and YouTuber Lady Colin Campbell told The Daily Beast: “William does no longer choose Harry to be there. He thinks the Sussex drama will turn the whole aspect into a canine and pony show.”
