Prince Harry will have to forgo attending the funeral of his uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes, amid the ongoing ‘Royal Family drama.’ Ever since the Duke of Sussex stepped down from his duties as a senior working royal, his privileges that came with the job were also removed. According to reports, Harry’s relationship with the royal family has been affected by the Home Office’s decision to downgrade his security. Read on to find more!
The Duke Of Sussex Might Not Attend His Uncle’s Funeral
Last week, it was revealed that Prince Harry’s uncle Robert, who worked for the late Queen, passed away for unknown reasons. He was the husband of his aunt Jane, the older sister of Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana. Jane is known to have a close bond with the estranged Prince; she was also seen with him when she attended his 10th-anniversary service for the Invictus Games at St. Paul’s Cathedral.
However, Duke will not be able to attend Robert’s funeral because of strict rules imposed by the Home Office. A source revealed that even though the Duke was excited to spend time with his friends, he is required to give a 28 days’ notice before arriving in the country.
This rule restricts his visits to special occasions or public events planned well in advance. The same source also informed that Harry will most likely miss his uncle’s funeral because his team must notify the Home Office 28 days in advance.
The insider said, “Prince Harry didn’t have plans to visit the UK this summer, so when something last-minute arises like a funeral, it becomes a very difficult situation to navigate.” It seems like the father-of-two wants to spend more time on the home ground, but it will be a logistical nightmare for his team due to ongoing security issues. This constant concern about security has had a significant impact on Harry’s relationship with his close one over the past few years.

In addition, the Sussexes’ have put a halt on their plans of finding a home in the UK due to the same fear. During a recent interview, Harry spoke about how he feels unsafe bringing his wife and kids to the UK and fears that Meghan might be the target of an acid or knife attack.
As of now, Harry is currently in the process of appealing the case against the Home Office over his protection in the UK. For more such updates on the royal family, keep following Soap Opera Daily!
