Harry Faces Exclusion from Royal Family Inner Circle Amid Balmoral Snub

Prince Harry finds himself in a painful situation following King Charles' blunt response to his request for an invitation to the family gathering at Balmoral Castle.

Recent reports suggest that King Charles III and Queen Camilla are organizing a family reunion at the castle on September 8th to commemorate the first anniversary of Her Majesty's passing.

Surprisingly, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not been included in the guest list, despite being in the vicinity the following day.

A source close to the royal family confirmed the exclusion of Harry and Meghan from the event.

According to the insider, the couple, founders of Archewell, have not received any information or formal invitation regarding the memorial plans.

The absence of an invite may be attributed to the informal nature of the gathering, as noted by the source, indicating that the royal family does not feel obligated to extend invitations to estranged members.

This snub marks a significant turning point for Harry, who has previously participated in various formal royal events post his departure from London in 2020.

However, his exclusion from the Balmoral gathering signifies his removal from the royal inner circle.

The source emphasized the personal significance of honoring the Queen for all family members, highlighting the absence of Harry and Meghan at the upcoming event.

While Prince Andrew is set to attend the family gathering, the absence of Harry and Meghan from the guest list suggests a widening gap between them and the royal family.

Speculations arise regarding Meghan's potential activities on the same day, with possibilities ranging from attending the Invictus Games in Germany to engaging in pre-event preparations or promoting “Heart of Invictus” on Netflix.

The exclusion of Harry and Meghan from the family event underscores the rift that has developed between them and the royal household.

Notably, Harry's removal from the royal inner circle, symbolized by the revocation of his His Royal Highness title, solidifies his status outside the immediate royal family.

Royal expert Robert Jobson views this move as a deliberate decision by King Charles to allow tensions to settle, emphasizing the lack of communication between Harry and senior royals.

Jobson further suggests that the demotion of Harry and Meghan in the royal family hierarchy reflects the ongoing strain within the family dynamics.

The expert believes that the decision to strip the Sussex title was not vindictive but a necessary step to clarify their position within the royal fold.

Despite the slow pace of these changes, the palace's adherence to tradition and protocol remains evident, signaling a definitive shift in Harry's standing within the royal circle.
