Prince Harry wants an apology
from the Royal Family over the alleged rift between them, an expert claims.
Angela Levin, who spent a year
with the Duke of Sussex while writing his biography, claims the royal is
“absolutely furious” over his treatment during the Jubilee, The Sun reports.
And she alleges he didn’t
think to check brother William’s diary before boarding the plane back home with his wife, Meghan, and children Lilibet, one, and Archie, three.
It’s understood that William
and Harry did not meet privately during the four-day bonanza.
The Sussexes did meet with the
Queen – although their request for a photograph of the monarch with her
namesake, baby Lilibet, was turned down, it’s understood.
They are also believed to have
met with Charles and Camilla behind closed doors.
Ms. Levin told Sun Online:
“I think he would have been very, very upset that he was largely ignored.
“He still feels he’s owed an
apology. But he’s the one who should apologize. He said during the Oprah
interview that Charles and William were trapped, he said he’d been cut off by
his father.
“You can’t just go around
being rude about people and expecting them to open their hearts to you again.”
The couple held a first
birthday party for Lilibet at Frogmore Cottage on Saturday, inviting Zara and
Mike Tindall’s children for party games and picnic food.
Ms Levin said: “Allegedly,
they asked Kate and William and the children to the party. However, they didn’t
take the trouble of finding out the Cambridges would be in Wales on the
morning, and coming back to get ready for the Jubilee concert in the afternoon,
so they couldn’t go.”
The Sussexes attended just one
Jubilee event publicly – the service of thanksgiving at St Paul’s.
They were sat in the second
row and across the aisle from Kate and William during the event. The couples
did not acknowledge each other or exchange any eye contact.
Ahead of the service, Harry
could be seen laughing at jokes and chatting with family and friends as he sat
beside his wife.
But Ms. Levin said: “The thing
that really stood out for me on that day was Harry’s anger – he wears his
emotions on his face and he looked absolutely furious.
“I think it’s quite
interesting really – he could have been feeling lots of things. I don’t know
whether he had a wave of feeling at what he had given up. He is
self-destructive and might regret what he has lost.
“Or maybe he was recalling bad
memories and was just wishing he hadn’t come at all.”
She said Harry should have
visited the UK at a “quieter time” to make peace with his brother.
“You can’t expect to be close
if you just have a few minutes,” she said.
