The world is an ever-changing vessel of change. At a time when world events are shaping at unprecedented scales across various geographic regions, the UK monarchy is yet to sort things out within their household. In one of the most riveting pieces of drama to script itself into history, the flares are hardly subsiding. Tensions between the two royal factions are on the brew. In the freshest of controversies, King Charles III’s not extending an invitation to Prince Harry for his 75th birthday has taken center stage.

Cut off and perhaps unaware of the magnitude of the rift, the estranged Prince’s two kids are the latest on the slate.

King Charles III’s birthday was not without a glance at his US-based grandkids

The march away from royal duties that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took was not without casualties. On their end, the Sussexes left a void in the late Queen’s heart, and on the other, King Charles III refused an invitation to them on his 75th birthday. However, it looks like the monarch was not devoid of wishes from all his grandkids after all. In a report by The Daily Express, its sources claimed that the Sussexes’ kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, extended their greetings through a pre-recorded video message.

The claims gain significance because they establish that a certain degree of communication still exists between the two factions, despite their differences. Moreover, the reports also said that the king stood too occupied to attend to any call from Prince Harry. Receiving their prince and princess titles in 2023, Prince Archie and Prince Lillibet have not met their grandfather for a long time. Additionally, while the Prince has met King Charles III on several occasions, the Princess has only ever met him once.

The reclusive state of communication throws a gloomy picture of the state of affairs between the two households.

Prince Harry and Prince William’s beef has seeped deep beyond reconciliation

In his memoir, Spare, Prince Harry made bombshell allegations about Prince William, which threw the royal rift into an enhanced global spotlight. Ever since, relations between the two have stooped to a record low. The older brother as well as his wife, Kate Middleton, have reportedly grown resentful of the Sussexes owing to their constant levying of charges.

On another end of the spectrum, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle displayed countering similar emotions when the opposite faction surged in popularity. Thanks to royal patronage, Prince William commands significant backing among A-list Hollywood celebrities for philanthropic activities. The resulting tug-of-war still continues in a spat that shows no signs of settling down.
