In a surprising turn of events, Prince Harry has opted to forgo the long journey from California to the UK to attend the funeral of his uncle, Robert Fellowes.
Yes, you read that correctly.
The Duke of Sussex, who has been in touch with his aunt, cousins, and even his late mother Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, following the news of his uncle’s passing, will not be present to say his final goodbyes.
Lord Fellowes, who was married to Diana’s sister, Lady Jane Fellowes, and served as private secretary to the late Queen Elizabeth II, passed away on July 29 at the age of 82.
Despite the familial ties, Harry has deemed the trip too cumbersome.
It appears that making the trek across the Atlantic for family gatherings has lost its charm.
After stepping back from royal duties in 2020 and relocating to the United States, Harry and Meghan Markle also left behind their taxpayer-funded security detail.
Now, they find themselves managing the costs and logistics of their own protection, which has proven to be quite the headache.
Under UK regulations, Harry is required to notify British authorities of any travel plans at least 28 days in advance.
Since the funeral wasn’t on his radar, it seems he’s not ready to tackle this complicated logistical puzzle.
A source close to the situation revealed to OK!
magazine that Harry had no plans to visit the UK this summer, making it difficult to adjust to last-minute events such as a funeral.
It’s almost amusing how the royal family seems to be grappling with the intricacies of international travel and security for the first time.
While Harry expresses a desire to spend more time in Britain, the ongoing security concerns have turned into a significant hurdle for him and his team.
It raises eyebrows when a multi-millionaire struggles with basic security arrangements, doesn’t it?
Meanwhile, while navigating these security challenges, Harry and Meghan are off to Colombia—yes, the country known for its drug cartels and civil unrest.
With travel warnings from the U.S. State Department hovering around Levels 3-4, it begs the question: why choose such a chaotic backdrop for their latest escapade?
Perhaps it’s a calculated move to bolster Harry’s public image, or maybe it’s just another opportunity for them to play the victim card.
One can’t help but wonder if Harry was even invited to his uncle’s funeral in the first place.
The timing of his announcement, coupled with his explanations about security, feels rather convenient.
After all, it’s not like he and Lord Fellowes were in regular contact over the years.
Could it be that Harry hasn’t spoken to his uncle in ages and is now seizing this moment for sympathy and media attention?
It’s hard to ignore how Harry and Meghan seem to turn every situation into a platform for self-promotion.
Even a somber occasion like a funeral becomes another stage for their narrative of victimization.
It’s quite astonishing how this couple manages to make every event revolve around their personal struggles, overshadowing the very essence of the occasion.
In the grand scheme of things, Harry’s choice to skip his uncle’s farewell while heading to a tumultuous destination raises eyebrows.
