Prince William, Harry’s ‘regrettable’ feud takes shine off royal events

The Duke of Sussex is set to return to the UK alone on May 8 to mark ten years of the Invictus Games, but no members of the royal family is expected to attend Harry’s milestone.

Former royal correspondent Michael Cole, on GBN America, claimed that the rift is “regrettable” and “unnecessary” for the royal siblings.

Cole, in discussion with host Nana Akua, expressed his sympathy for the Duke as he will carry out the Invictus Games celebrations without any senior members of the royal family. Harry’s wife Meghan Markle and their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet will also remain in Montecito during the Duke’s time in Britain.

“I feel sorry for Harry because he says he loves this country. It’s his home and he loves Britain. You know what makes me saddest of all? I think of Diana, Princess of Wales, the late, the much missed Diana,” Cole told the outlet.

The commentator went on: “It really does make me sad, and I hope that he [Harry] has time to ponder that when he comes back here.”

Hoping for a reconciliation between the royal brothers, Cole explained: “There are few worse sights in the world than seeing brothers fighting. And when it’s brothers of the royal blood, when it’s princes fighting, that’s so much worse and it’s so regrettable.

“And actually, Nana, it’s all so unnecessary.”

Nana was in agreement with Cole but argued: “He’s bitter and twisted about what happened to his mother. He’s completely unforgiving in that.”
