Prince Harry Will Not Attend Uncle's Funeral

Prince Harry has decided not to attend the funeral of his uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes, due to ongoing security concerns and the complexities surrounding his visits to the U.K. Friends of Harry expressed their sadness over his absence, emphasizing that it would have been unimaginable a few years ago for him not to support his aunt, Lady Jane, during her time of grief. Although Harry had a strained relationship with Fellowes, who was seen as part of the royal establishment that conspired against his mother, he shares a close bond with Lady Jane, who played a significant role in his life. His security concerns stem from being stripped of police protection after stepping back from royal duties, which has made him feel unsafe returning to Britain. Despite these challenges, Harry and Meghan are scheduled to travel to Colombia to support a children's rights initiative. Sources indicate that the decision not to attend is based on a multitude of factors, not solely security issues.
