Prince Harry’s First Public Appearance Post-Coronation Confirmation
In a notable public appearance, Prince Harry showcased his German language skills at an Invictus Games event in Berlin.
This marked his first sighting since announcing his attendance at King Charles' upcoming coronation.
The event celebrated the countdown to the games, which are set to kick off in Dusseldorf this September, just 150 days away.
Harry was captured on video attempting to speak German, a moment reminiscent of his father's recent visit to Germany.
King Charles had also made headlines last month for engaging with guests in the German language during a banquet, demonstrating his own linguistic flair.
Body language expert Judy James weighed in on Harry's performance, noting that he appeared somewhat hesitant while delivering his German lines.
She described his delivery as “timid and awkward,” contrasting it sharply with King Charles' more confident demeanor during his own German-speaking engagement.
Judy observed that Harry's body language suggested a mix of nerves and uncertainty.
He seemed to struggle with the foreign language, resorting to English after a few stilted phrases.
In contrast, King Charles embraced the challenge, warming up to the language and even managing to crack a joke, which indicated a higher level of self-assurance.
Rumors are now circulating that Harry may soon be officially stripped of his royal duties following the coronation.
A source has claimed that the monarchy is poised to revoke all of his royal privileges, which would mark a significant shift in his status within the family.
Adding to the speculation, Paul Burrell, former butler to Princess Diana, weighed in on the potential tensions at the coronation.
He warned that Harry might face a frosty reception from his relatives, particularly given the revelations in his memoir, “Spare,” and the Netflix series he produced with Meghan Markle.
Burrell emphasized that the royal family is known for its inability to forgive and forget.
He noted that Harry will find himself seated among family members he has publicly criticized, raising questions about the warmth of their welcome.
“The Windsors hold grudges,” Burrell remarked, suggesting that Harry's presence at the coronation could be uncomfortable.
He added that the royal family tends to marginalize those who don't adhere to their expectations, hinting at the precarious position Harry finds himself in.
As for Meghan Markle, she has a convenient excuse to skip the coronation festivities.
The timing coincides with their son Archie's birthday, allowing her to remain in the U.S. while Harry attends the royal event solo.
This situation raises eyebrows about the dynamics within the family, especially with Harry navigating a landscape filled with both personal and public challenges.
As the coronation approaches, all eyes will be on how the family interacts, particularly between Harry and the rest of the royal clan.
With the backdrop of royal tradition and familial strife, the coronation promises to be a pivotal moment for Prince Harry.
