According to reports, Prince Harry was deeply emotional as he received support from his late mother Princess Diana's family amid his ongoing feud with the Royal Family.
A former royal butler has claimed that Princess Diana's relatives are firmly backing Harry during his tumultuous relationship with the monarchy. Harry's tensions with the Royal Family escalated following his explosive allegations against them, which has resulted in a strained relationship.
During his recent visit to the UK, Harry did not meet with any members of the Royal Family. However, Earl Charles Spencer and Lady Jane Fellowes, Diana's siblings, are said to have shown their support for Harry.
Earl Spencer has been particularly vocal in his support, having pledged during Diana's funeral to always offer spiritual and emotional protection to Harry and his brother, Prince William. During his recent visit to London, Harry avoided interactions with any royal family members. There were rumors that he intended to meet his father, King Charles, but the monarch was reportedly too busy to see his son. Furthermore, Harry made no efforts to reconcile with his now-estranged brother William.
Former royal butler Paul Burrell suggested that Princess Diana would have been heartbroken by the extent of the feud within the Royal Family. In a conversation with Bella magazine, Paul revealed that the feud might not have escalated if Diana were still alive. He explained that she would have intervened to prevent it from worsening, likely urging Harry to apologize to Charles and acting as a peacemaker to keep the family together. Burrell emphasized that Diana's death has left a void, making reconciliation seem like a lost cause.
Royal commentator Tom Quinn has also weighed in, noting that Earl Spencer and Lady Jane Fellowes' attendance at Harry's Invictus Games event earlier this month demonstrated their loyalty to him. Speaking to The Mirror, Quinn highlighted that the Spencer family has always felt uneasy about the Royal Family since Diana's death. Earl Spencer, Diana's brother, has been openly critical of the Royal Family's treatment of his sister, particularly targeting Prince Charles. Quinn pointed out that the Spencer family's decision to support Harry is significant, as it underscores their ongoing bitterness towards the Royal Family.
The expert noted that the Spencer family's presence at Harry's Invictus Games event was a strong indication of their allegiance. Like Harry, the Spencers continue to view the Royal Family as adversaries to some extent. However, there are speculations that Earl Spencer's attendance might have been motivated by the promotion of his new book. Despite this, Earl Spencer previously vowed at Diana's funeral that the family would always protect Harry and William spiritually and emotionally.
During his time in London, Harry did not meet with any members of the Royal Family. Although there were rumors of a possible meeting with King Charles, it was reported that the monarch was too busy. Some narratives have portrayed Harry as a victim in this situation, suggesting that King Charles had actually invited Harry to stay with him, but Harry declined. Additionally, there were no plans for Harry to meet with William, from whom he remains estranged.
