A wave of outrage has erupted within the royal circles as Zara Tindall, once considered Prince Harry’s closest ally, has revealed startling reasons for her absence from a service celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, an event close to her cousin’s heart. This revelation has sent shockwaves through the ranks of Sussex supporters, who have long held Zara in high regard for her unwavering loyalty to Harry.
According to a report by Daily Express, the controversy unfolded when Harry arrived at St Paul’s Cathedral for the special service, greeted by a sea of cheers from well-wishers. However, not a single member of the Royal Family was present to show their support, leaving Harry to be joined only by his late mother’s siblings, Charles Spencer and Lady Jane Fellowes.
As the absence of Zara and other royals became apparent, fans of the Sussexes took to social media to voice their outrage and demand answers. One fan commented, “Diana’s family attended the Invictus service as support for Prince Harry, whose family didn’t turn up. Not even his favourite cousin Zara. That’s family for you.”
Zara’s decision to skip the event was particularly shocking, given her close relationship with Harry and her previous attendance at Invictus Games events. Another fan wrote, “The absence of Zara Tindall and other members of the Royal Family at Prince Harry’s Invictus Games Service raised questions.”
In a move that has exposed the startling reasons behind her absence, Zara revealed that she was competing at the Badminton Horse Trials on the same day as the Invictus service. This explanation has been met with disbelief and criticism from fans, who argue that her commitment to a sporting event should not have taken precedence over supporting her cousin’s passion project
One fan stated, “Don’t tell me Beatrice, Zara, Princess Anne, Edward or other Windsor cousins couldn’t have attended. Just shameful.” Another pointed out, “Not all the royals were at the garden party. What about his cousins Eugenie, Beatrice, Zara and Lady Louise? Why didn’t they support Harry?”
The outrage extended beyond Zara, with fans expressing disappointment in other non-working royals who are cousins to Harry. One fan commented, “I think it’s sad and pathetic that other non-working royals who are cousins to Harry couldn’t even come out to support Harry at the Invictus service. Shame on Eugene, Zara, Beatrice and all the others.”
While some acknowledged that Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie may have had “other things to do,” the revelation of Zara’s startling reasons for skipping the event has been met with disbelief and anger from fans who expected more from the once-loyal cousin.
As Harry and Meghan Markle embark on their next chapter, including a recent visit to Nigeria, the outrage surrounding Zara’s absence has cast a shadow over their relationship with the rest of the Royal Family. The startling truth exposed by this betrayal has left many fans questioning the future of the Sussexes’ ties with their relatives and whether the rift can be mended.
