Prince Harry would have been “happy” to see his father and sister-in-law joining fellow royals on the walkabout on Christmas Day, claims one royal expert.
The King, 76, and Princess of Wales, 42, both announced they had been diagnosed with cancer in early 2024.
Joining other members of the Royal Family on Christmas Day, Kate and the King stepped out the walkabout to attend the annual service at St Mary Magdalene Church shortly before 11am on December 25.
Although he spent another Christmas with his wife and two children in California, the Royal Family appeared to have not been far from Prince Harry’s mind.
Speaking of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, royal expert Jennie Bond told OK!: “They had their own private Christmas thousands of miles away and hopefully they had a good time.
“Meanwhile, our Royal Family put themselves on parade and consequently enjoyed a great deal of extremely positive public approval and publicity.”
She added: “If Harry and Meghan troubled to take note of the positive feedback around the royals here, they would probably have been happy that the King and Catherine were well enough to be out and about after their cancer diagnoses. They are not heartless.”
Ms Bond also spoke of a reunion between the couple and the royals, adding that she doesn’t believe this will happen in foreseeable future.
The expert told the publication: “I hope they have learned to ignore it. I don’t foresee any progress in mending fences with the King and William in the New Year.
“The court case against the Home Office continues to put Charles in a very awkward position and I don’t think William is yet in any mood to contemplate patching things up with his brother.”
She continued: “It could happen… one day… but there’s no sign yet.”
Harry and Meghan are thought to have enjoyed Christmas at their home in Monetcito with their children, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three.
