Prince Harry is scheduled to visit the United Kingdom to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the creation of his Invictus Games on May 8, 2024. However, no royal members are expected to attend the important celebration. Is this because King Charles is being petty? A royal commentator explains.
King Charles won’t meet with Prince Harry during UK visit: ‘Bad form, your majesty’
Prince Harry will be in London on May 8 to attend a service of Thanksgiving at St. Paul’s Cathedral. This service will mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, a Paralympic-style competition for wounded service members that he founded in 2014.
However, it has been reported that Charles will not meet with his youngest son during his visit. Additionally, no other royal family members are also scheduled to attend the event.
News.com.au commentator Daniela Elser states that this move is petty, calling it “bad form, your majesty.

King Charles III’s slimmed-down monarchy has caused a “huge void” in the British royal family’s “lineup,” according to a royal author. What was supposed to include the “strongest” members of the Windsor family now is a “limp” showing. Ahead, the “crisis” the royal family’s been dealing with since before the king and Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnoses. Plus, who is on the list of working royals.

According to Omid Scobie, a royal commentator and author, King Charles’s slimmed-down monarchy isn’t the one he originally intended. In fact, far from it.
Instead of a “strong” showing, what’s left is a “huge void in the royal lineup,” he told ABC News Studio’s Impact x Nightline: The Crown in Crisis (via UsWeekly).

Prince William’s not king yet — he’s heir apparent to King Charles III — but he’s already got his work cut out for him. A royal commentator hopes the Prince of Wales, 41, will make two of his cousins working royals as king. Not Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, who are reportedly upset their uncle hasn’t issued a call to duty. Rather, his youngest cousins, Lady Louise Windsor and James, Earl of Wessex, children of Prince Edward and Sophie, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.
A commentator wants William to eventually make his cousins, Louise and James, working royals
According to commentator Richard Eden, Louise and James, who are 20 and 16, respectively, should become working royals when William takes the throne. William should ask them to serve, Eden wrote for the Daily Mail’s Palace Confidential.

Britain’s royal family is in unfamiliar territory and something needs to change quickly.
Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022, her oldest son King Charles became the new head of the Firm and put into place his “slimmed-down monarchy,” meaning they’re are fewer working royals to help out with the family’s daily duties and engagements. What the king didn’t count on was both him and his daughter-in-law the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) having to undergo medical procedures and receiving treatment for cancer, which has sidelined them for months.
This has left the remaining working royals stretched pretty thin leaving some like Princess Anne to do multiple engagements a day. And aside from 41-year-old Prince William and 59-year-old Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh (formerly the Countess of Wessex), every other working royal is over the age of 60 with most deep into their 70s and 80s.

Prince William’s upcoming trip to Singapore for the Earthshot Awards will have one less royal on board. Kate Middleton stepped back from this event championed by the Prince of Wales to remain home with their children. A royal expert calls Kate Middleton’s decision “setting an example” of “good parenting.”
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told Express Kate’s decision not to join her husband will be seen favorably by the public. The Princess of Wales is staying home to support her oldest son, Prince George, as he faces crucial school exams.
“William and Catherine attended the last two Earthshot Prize Awards Ceremonies in London and Boston together,” Fitzwilliams says. “It’s understood she wants to be with George because of his exams. And it will be appreciated that the Waleseswant to set an example of good parenting. That will be totally understood.”
He continued, “The [Earthshot] Prize is a remarkable achievement.

Plans and preparations are underway for King Charles III’s coronation on May 6. Some of the questions surrounding the event were about whether Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would be attending and who will be featured on the Buckingham Palace balcony with the new monarch. Well both of those questions have been answered as we now know Harry will attend the ceremony without his wife and the working royals will stand on the balcony with the king.
But for a few of those working royals, this appearance will likely mark one of the last times we’ll see them and therefore will be a final curtain call and thank you for their service.

Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have not yet confirmed if they will attend King Charles III’s coronation. Many royal watchers believed that Harry and Meghan’s attendance depended on whether a list of demands they had would be met. This speculation began after the Duke of Sussex said during an interview in January that a lot needed to be discussed and he hoped his family would have those talks with him before he committed to going.
While the king is said too busy to organize a meeting with his youngest son before the event on May 6, another demand the couple reportedly put forth is to be featured with their children on the Buckingham Palace balcony following the coronation ceremony. That demand too has been denied, and now Prince Harry’s biographer believes the Sussexes are “furious” they won’t be included in that big moment.

Prince Louis joining Prince William and Kate Middleton at King Charles III’s coronation would be more than witnessing history in the making and seeing his grandfather crowned. A commentator says attending the ceremony may prevent the Prince and Princess of Wales’s youngest child from someday becoming an “offshoot” of his uncle, Prince Harry.

According to royal commentator Angela Mollard, William and Kate will want to include Louis in the coronation. That way, the four-year-old — who will be five by the time of the ceremony — won’t feel left out.
