A son whom he had briefly reunited with the day before, at Balmoral: in fact, Prince Harry, by chance in Europe at the time of his grandmother’s death, had rushed to Balmoral to pay him a last homage just like his brother William, their father, of course, and their uncles and aunts Andrew of York, Princess Anne and Edward of Wessex. Quickly, however, as of Friday morning, the young man who will be 38 years old in a few days had returned to Windsor on his own.
It must be said that his return, which had known some twists and turns: indeed, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry’s wife, had first announced that she would accompany him to Balmoral before retracting after half an hour, surely cooled by the fact that Kate Middleton, her sister-in-law, had also remained in Windsor, close to her children.
Little appreciated since the sensational departure of the couple for the United States and the media interview given to Oprah Winfrey, the American nevertheless sees the new King Charles III send him a message through this first speech. The young woman should also be present for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, which will take place next week. Before a warming of their relations? We hope so, but it may not be so simple!
Indeed, the two sons of King Charles III still do not speak to each other: for several months now, Prince William would indeed refuse to be in the same room as his brother, convinced that the latter is leaking confidential information in the newspapers and could turn the press against him. During the Jubilee ceremonies, in particular, he had not spoken to her and had not even glanced at her during the ceremony at Saint Paul’s Cathedral. The Cambridge couple then refused to go to Lilibet’s birthday party, visiting Britain for the first time.
