Prince Harry might travel to London to attend the funeral of his uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes.
The news of Fellowes’ passing was announced a few days ago and confirmed by Earl Charles Spencer, Princess Diana’s brother, who shared a heartfelt farewell on social media.
Lord Fellowes, a man close to the British Royal Family, was married to Lady Jane Fellowes, Princess Diana’s sister.
He also served as the private secretary to the late Queen Elizabeth II for a time. His death, which occurred on July 29, was due to undisclosed causes.
The close relationship between Harry and his aunt Jane makes it likely that the prince will consider traveling to London to support her during this difficult time and attend the funeral.
The final decision, however, will depend on his own considerations, his schedule, and his relationship with the British royal family.
Will Prince Harry attend Robert Fellowes’ funeral?
The death of Robert Fellowes has raised the question of Prince Harry’s attendance at the memorial service in England.
While it is known that the Duke of Sussex has been in contact with his aunt, Jane Fellowes, and his cousins following the death of his uncle, speculation about his presence at the funeral is intense, according to The New York Post.
According to sources close to Harry, he wishes to support his aunt during this difficult time and attend the funeral.
However, the current situation is not simple. Family tension, especially between Harry and his brother William, could turn the event into a public conflict.
A close friend of Prince Harry stated that under normal circumstances, it would be unthinkable for Harry not to be there to support Jane.
However, the current situation, with the royal family in the midst of a turbulent period, could make Harry’s attendance difficult, as his presence could generate media attention and unnecessary drama.
If Harry decides to travel to London, it would inevitably mean a reunion with his brother William and his father, King Charles.
However, royal commentator Michael Cole suggests that Fellowes’ death will not significantly impact the already known family dynamics.
“Robert Fellowes’ death will not affect family dynamics,” Michael Cole told the Daily Mail. “Prince William and Prince Harry have always been on good terms with their late mother’s sisters and brother.”
“Aside from extending their sincere condolences to their aunt Jane, the death of their uncle will likely have minimal impact on the two royal princes.”
If Harry travels to London, he would do so alone. The duke has publicly expressed his concern for the safety of his wife, Meghan Markle, and their children, Archie and Lily, in England, so it is unlikely that he would bring them with him.
Harry’s attendance at Robert Fellowes’ funeral remains a mystery. While his presence could be a gesture of support for his family, the current circumstances could turn the trip into an event with unpredictable consequences.
