Prince Harry may be in London for a two-day legal hearing, but it appears he isn’t receiving much warmth or support from the royal family during his visit.
According to reports, the Duke of Sussex has been barred from attending the funeral of Graham Craker, the beloved former bodyguard of Princess Diana—someone who had been with Harry on the very day he learned of his mother’s passing.
Radar Online revealed that both his father, King Charles, and his older brother, Prince William, are concerned that Harry’s presence could unintentionally shift focus away from the solemn nature of the event.
Senior members of the royal family have reportedly told Harry that his attendance might turn the farewell for Craker into a media spectacle. As a result, they’ve asked him to remain in the United States and honor the memory of the late bodyguard with his thoughts, prayers, and support from afar.
A palace source noted that Harry was made aware his presence at the service might take away from the gravity of the occasion. In light of that, he was encouraged to grieve privately, without drawing attention.
This decision is said to reflect the royal family’s intent to pay their respects to Mr. Craker in a dignified manner, ensuring that the tone of the farewell stays respectful and focused.
