While Prince Harry exchanged words with Prince William and Kate Middleton, insiders have claimed that other members of the royal family didn’t speak to him as they are still “very upset” over the Duke and Meghan Markle’s Oprah interview and members of the royal family “failed to acknowledge” Prince Harry at the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral as they “think he has behaved appallingly”, it has been claimed.
The Duke of Sussex flew back to the UK following his grandfather’s death and joined other members of The Firm to walk behind his coffin during Saturday’s event.
While he was seen chatting to brother Prince William and Kate, an insider has said things have been “frosty” with other family members since he returned to Windsor to self-isolate.
Princess Anne, Prince Edward and his wife Sophie Wessex reportedly didn’t speak or even acknowledge him at all, claims the Mail on Sunday.
A source told the newspaper: “Ironically the only one who has expressed any sympathy towards him is Prince Andrew. He knows from Sarah Ferguson – and now first-hand – how it feels to be the outsider, which Harry very much is.
“As far as the others are concerned, there is a deep sense of protection towards the Queen and resentment towards Harry. There is little sympathy for him after what he and Meghan said on Oprah.
“They are still very upset. They are putting on a united front for the Queen. They all think he has behaved appallingly.”
