Royal photographer Exposes Truth About Harry & Meghan
Prince William reportedly doesn't want Prince Harry to attend one of the biggest days of his life, a royal expert has revealed. The 44-year-old will one day attend his own coronation, but he will likely be adamant that one particular family member will not be anywhere in sight.
William is first in line to the throne, and upon his father King Charles's death, he will ascend the throne. The royal will be crowned, alongside his wife, Princess Catherine, and his children will all move up the line of succession. Prince George will then become the official heir, followed by Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Prince Harry remains in the line of succession, with his position moving to fourth at the time his brother becomes the reigning monarch. Despite being the brother of the future King, Harry is unlikely to attend the historic day due to the ongoing feud between him and William.
Speaking on the latest episode of Royal Unscripted, royal editor Emily Ferguson is joined by veteran royal photographer Arthur Edwards. Discussing the ongoing feud between the once-close brothers, Emily asks Arthur about his new book, Cup of Tea, Arthur?: My Extraordinary 50 Years Photographing the Royal Family.
Emily said: "In the book, you say relations are so bad William doesn’t want his own brother at the Coronation. William never wants to see his brother again. It seems like worlds need to move for these two brothers to even get in the same room together.”
The photographer, who had built an incredible bond with the royals through his work over the past 50 years, replied that a row over Harry's wife, Meghan Markle, is likely one of the reasons behind the reported claim that William doesn't want Harry to attend his coronation.
He said: "That’s going to take a lot of sorting out. I just don’t know what was the cause of it all.
"If you knew the cause - what the row was about - it might be so serious maybe there’s no forgiveness there... whatever it was, it was pretty damning.”
Harry wrote about a physical confrontation that he had with William in his 2023 memoir, Spare. The 42-year-old, who moved back to the UK in August with Meghan and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, wrote: "[William] grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and … knocked me to the floor”.
According to Harry, William allegedly referred to Meghan as "difficult”, “rude” and “abrasive”, to which Harry responded that his brother was "parrot[ing of] the press narrative" about his wife.
