Prince Harry will 'support' brother William at his coronation despite 'relationship breaking down', former butler says
Harry and William used to very closePrince Harry will “support” Prince William during a key event in his life – his future coronation – a former royal butler has revealed recently.
The royal brothers are currently estranged. Their rift has seemingly deepened since Prince Harry moved to the US with Meghan.
Prince Harry ‘will support’ Prince William at his coronation
One day, Prince William will be crowned king. And, despite their estrangement, it’s expected that Prince Harry will be at the coronation.
During an appearance on 60 Minutes Australia over the weekend, former royal butler Grant Harrold revealed he reckons this will be the case.
In fact, Grant believes that the coronation will be what brings Prince Harry and William back together.
According to the former royal butler, the brother’s “broken bond” won’t last forever.
“I have no doubt that William will want his brother – not so much maybe to play a part in it – but certainly to be there,” he said.
William will want Harry there on the big day
Grant was then asked whether he thinks Harry will even want to be there.
“It appears that he’s happy with his new life and his way of doing things,” Grant admitted.
“You couldn’t get further away from the royal family if you could with what he’s doing,” he then continued.
“But, in saying that, I still think he will be there [the coronation] to support his brother, as he has been for his father,” he then added.
Harry, of course, was at Charles’ coronation back in 2023. However, he didn’t have a part to play in the ceremony. He also didn’t stay for any of the celebrations afterward, jetting off back home to the US to be with Meghan and the kids.
Harry could leave King Charles ‘displeased’
In other Harry-related news, the Duke of Sussex could get on the wrong side of his father thanks to his involvement in the Invictus Games.
The Invictus Games will be held in Birmingham in July 2027. However, they could clash with Camilla’s 80th birthday, which is also in July 2027.
If the games do take place around Camilla’s birthday – July 17 – it could cause some friction between Harry and the royals.
“He is bringing the games, first staged in London in 2014, back to Britain in 2027, when they will be held in Birmingham in July. This is the same month that Queen Camilla’s milestone 80th birthday will be celebrated, on 17th July,” royal expert Richard Fitzwilliam exclusively told us.
“Obviously we don’t know if the royal rift will have been healed wholly or partly by then. It is, nonetheless, the first time the games will have been held in July. It would surely have been tactful to choose another month,” he then continued.
Fitzwilliam then added: “King Charles will not be pleased at this totally avoidable prospective clash which, needless to say, will be accompanied by enormous interest from the media.”
