King Charles could be sending a ‘hidden’ message to Prince Harry in plain sight with a Father’s Day post shared on Instagram that acknowledges “those who may be missing their parents,” in a precious video.
A compilation of videos representing a time capsule of King Charles‘ family life has been shared on the Royal Family‘s Instagram page, and the sweet caption wishes all dads a relaxing Father’s Day, as well as addressing those who are without their parents. Since Prince Harry is in fact without his parents while he’s out there living in California, could the social media post be a ‘hidden’ message to the Duke of Sussex?
An Instagram video shared by @theroyalfamily featured black and white clips of King Charles and his children on Father’s Day, with the caption writing: “Wishing all Dads, and those who may be missing their parents today, a relaxing Father’s Day.”
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left their roles as working royals in 2020, and they now live in a mansion in Montecito, California with their two children, Archie and Lilibet.
The Duke was last in the UK in February to visit the King soon after he was diagnosed with cancer. However, when he returned to his homeland last month, was unable to spend time with his father.
A statement from Prince Harry’s spokesman said: “The Duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon.”
The precious Father’s Day post could be somewhat aimed at Prince Harry, since he has only seen King Charles once this year after his cancer diagnosis.
A comment by one royal fan suggests the post could refer to Camilla, the Queen consort, who previously lost her father, Bruce Shand.
They said: “Also thinking of The Queen whose most certainly missing her dad today as well.”
This past weekend, the Royal Family attended the Trooping the Colour celebrations, an annual event that marks the King’s official birthday with a royal procession of the British Army’s regiments.
While many of the Windsors attended the event, a royal expert expected some notable absentees, including Harry and Meghan.
Writer Michael Cole suggested The Duke and Duchess of Sussex would remain in the United States during the Trooping the Colour parade, which Cole suspects will leave Harry feeling ‘hurt’.
Speaking to British broadcaster GB News this week, Cole speculated that the pair would not attend the event, and stated: “And I’m sure that hurts him (Harry) because he had his best life when he was in the army.”
The royal retiree Prince Harry is currently in the midst of a legal battle regarding the security presence he is granted in the UK, possibly casting doubt over when he will next appear publicly in Britain.
According to royal commentator Kinsey Schofield, Harry’s repeated attempts to fight for his security personnel and against the appeal decision, show a willingness on his part to return to his homeland.
