Prince Harry’s relationship with The Royal Family is not exactly in a ‘merry good’ place. After his marriage to Meghan Markle, the Duke of Sussex made a couple of decisions to protect his wife and children from The Royal Family drama, and that cost him a relationship with his family.
King Charles III Snubs Prince Harry And Prince Andrew
It so happens that after becoming King, following the demise of Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles III decided to slim down the monarchy.
One of the first decisions he took was to snub Prince Andrew and Prince Harry from their Royal duties. Instead, he picked Princess Anne and Prince Edward to fill in for him during the times he was not able to fulfill his duties as the king.
King Charles III Assumed An Important Role That Was Previously Held By Prince Harry
In 2017, Prince Harry took over the role of Captain General of the Royal Marines from Prince Philip. However, in 2020, Prince Harry decided to step back from his Royal duties, and lost certain titles such as Captain General of the Royal Marines, Honorary Air Commandant of RAF Honington and Commodore-in-Chief, Small Ships and Diving, Royal Naval Command.
The position that King Charles III stepped into has been vacant since 2020. At the 385th birthday of the Royal Marines, the king shared a heartfelt note about him stepping into the role.
Prince Harry Feels Completely Abandoned By His Father
Ever since the news of King Charles III stepping in as Captain General of the Royal Marines has come to light, it’s been reported that Prince Harry hasn’t been handling it great.
He has been feeling completely abandoned by his family after not being given any royal duties, especially that his father is the king. Additionally, he is “heartbroken” over the fact that his father treated him and Prince Andrew in the same fashion, even though Prince Harry just wanted to protect his family while Prince Andrew has several scandals against him.
Royal Expert Explains Why King Charles III Snubbed Prince Harry
It’s widely known that Prince Harry stepped down from royal duties. On top of that, he moved to The States.
Finally, Prince Harry and his wife, actress Meghan Markle , have been constantly talking about the Royal family’s secrets, accusing them of shunning Markle, and other private things. Moreover, Prince Harry is releasing a memoir in 2023, which has been rather upsetting for The Royal Family.
Keeping these in mind, King Charles III couldn’t give a position to his younger son within the monarchy.
If Prince Harry wants to get back into the good graces of his father, he would need to start by moving back to the United Kingdom.
