If the way the last few days
are anything to go by, the Sussexes could be in for a very painful time indeed.
There was the private jet
debacle, which saw Harry and William travel separately to Scotland in the
race to be with the Queen during her final hours.
The elder Prince made it to
Balmoral nearly 90 minutes before the world learned of her passing, while the
younger Prince did not, with Buckingham Palace choosing to release the sad news
while Harry was still in the air.
Nearly four hours after
William had gotten to Her Majesty’s estate, Harry arrived, alone and looking
particularly downcast.
On Friday night, King Charles
III announced that he was making William and Kate, the Prince and Princess of
Wales, which was no less significant even if it was inevitable and they are one
giant step closer to the throne.
And Harry? As is the case with
all royal second sons going back to when the ink on the Magna Carta was still
wet, he gets exactly nothing with his father’s accession – no new titles or
weighty official responsibilities or valuable duchies.
The gap that exists between
William and Harry’s positions has only grown that much bigger over the last few
days, something that these new details about walkabout and William only drives
home further.
