King Charles, Prince William ‘crossed Prince Harry off list’ before Nigeria trip, froze him out: expert
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made a three-day visit to Nigeria on the invitation of the country’s military
King Charles III and Prince William have put up a united front to keep their distance from Prince Harry.
The claim was made by Christopher Andersen, author of “The King,” following the Duke of Sussex’s recent trip to Nigeria alongside his wife Meghan Markle.
“They have chosen to ignore Harry, to freeze him out, and to not let him get under their skin when they are facing so many critical challenges,” Andersen claimed. “In a way, I think that is even sadder. It’s been said that hate isn’t the opposite of love – indifference is.”
From May 10-12, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited the West African nation for the first time on the invitation of its military.
“The King and Prince William are not surprised when Harry makes trips abroad, even when Meghan accompanies him,” Andersen told Fox News Digital. “And I don’t get the sense they begrudge Harry [for] his ties to Africa. Charles and William have crossed Harry off their list for a plethora of reasons, but making a brief trip with one reporter and one photographer in tow isn’t one of them.”
Previously, Harry was in London to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games but didn’t see his father during the visit. The monarch, who returned to his official duties after being sidelined for three months with cancer, was too busy to meet up with his younger son, the spokesperson for the Duke of Sussex said.
“The duke, of course, is understanding of his father’s … commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon,” a statement sent to Fox News Digital read.
