A Royal Observer has expressed outrage over the Duke's decision to forgo a public Father's Day tribute to the King.
Royal commentator Lizzy Cundy criticized the Duke for not publicly acknowledging the King on this occasion. She pointed out that the Prince of Wales had posted a touching throwback photo accompanied by a Happy Father's Day message, which she found very moving.
In her interview with GB America, Lizzy highlighted the stark contrast between the Duke's absence and the evident strong bond and respect the Prince of Wales shows for their father. She emphasized that the King, a 75-year-old man battling cancer, continues to fulfill his duties with remarkable dedication, even standing in the pouring rain during the Trooping the Colour ceremony. Lizzy praised the King's admirable qualities, suggesting that he embodies everything the Duke does not. She condemned the Duke's public silence as inexcusable, noting that it must be heartbreaking for the King not to receive even a Father's Day card. Although it's unclear if the Duke sent a private message, Lizzy's disappointment with his public actions was palpable.
Additionally, there is speculation about the Duke of Sussex potentially purchasing a home in the UK. Royal commentator Tom Quinn shared insights with Mirror UK, indicating that Harry is exploring options for a UK base. Quinn remarked on the Duke's limited life experience, having only lived in highly secure, isolated homes. He struggles to find a property as private as Frogmore Cottage, where he and the Duchess once resided. According to Quinn, the Duke's obsession with privacy has intensified, complicating his search for a suitable new home. This obsession also fueled his anger when the King evicted him from Frogmore Cottage, a secure mansion within the Windsor Royal Estate.
Quinn noted that the Duke, naive about the consequences of leaving Royal duties, never anticipated losing the house. He expressed the Duke's desire to create a secluded estate similar to his father's residence in Highgrove, Gloucestershire. However, the chances of returning to any family-gifted homes are slim.
