A significant rift has emerged between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and their once-close friend, the Duke of Westminster, Hugh Grosvenor.
Despite being Prince Archie's godfather and maintaining strong ties with both William and Harry, the Duke of Westminster has decided not to invite the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to his upcoming wedding with Oicia Henson. This move is reportedly attributed to the current controversies surrounding Harry and Meghan.
While the Duke of Westminster expressed a desire for reconciliation, he believes it's unlikely to happen before the wedding and wants to avoid any potential disruptions on the special day for his fiancée, Olivia. Instead, the guest list is expected to include Prince Charles and Camilla, as well as Prince William and Kate Middleton.
An insider close to the royal family shared with The Sunday Times that Hugh Grosvenor wishes for the brothers to reconcile, but the strained relationship has led to this exclusion. No official statements regarding the guest list have been released by either the Sussexes or Buckingham Palace. A spokesperson for Harry and Meghan stated, "We are not in a position to comment on the guest list," and Buckingham Palace refrained from offering any comments.
As the Duke of Westminster distances himself from Harry and Meghan, the broader gap between Prince Harry and the Royal Family appears to be widening. Recent revelations from Omid Scobie's new book, "Endgame," have stirred controversy, exposing tensions and rivalries within the royal household. The book touches on issues such as the alleged racist comments made about Prince Archie's skin tone, a matter that has caused significant public outcry.
Despite not explicitly using the term "racist," Meghan had previously claimed that certain royals expressed concerns about her son's skin color. The controversy escalated when a Dutch translation of Scobie's book seemingly identified individuals involved in these discussions. The author, frustrated by the incident, emphasized that he had never labeled the royals as racist but rather highlighted "unconscious bias" in his book.
In response to the controversy, Scobie clarified in a TV interview that he is not Meghan Markle's spokesperson, refuting claims that he is privy to her private world. The situation continues to unfold, leaving questions about the dynamics within the Royal Family and the challenges faced by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in their relationships with both friends and family members.
