Alone, no photos on the balcony, he leaves for Los Angeles Spotlight on William and Kate, perfect in every detail
LONDON – got out of the car alone, smiled at his cousins, walked down the aisle and took a seat in the third row without flinching, his face inscrutable despite the thousand questions. Who hasn’t wondered what he was thinking, there, in the church where his mother Diana cried when he was a child, where he was a witness for William and Kate and where last September he said goodbye to his grandmother Elizabeth?
Black sheep or marginalized and misunderstood child: Harry’s sad saga continues. Impossible not to notice him, tall and elegant in his ceremonial suit, with medals pinned to his chest, attentive to every word, at times visibly moved, tested by the public and personal historical moment.
At the end it disappeared just as it had arrived, without making a sound, while the rest of the family filed away to appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace and have lunch together. Has anyone greeted him? Certainly not the father, brother or nephews, who left in haste in their gilded carriages.
Two brothers, two stories: one the heir, the other the sparethe minor, the spare part. An order that has shaped their lives leading them towards different goals. Harry in Los Angeles with his wife Meghan and children Archie and Lilibet, outside the Windsor clan, without any official task or role (or a penny of royal money, if not the inheritance of his mother Diana).
William one step away from the throne, Prince of Wales, first in line: during the ceremony he knelt in front of the sovereign, touched the crown that one day will be his, gave his father a kiss on the cheek between the emotion of both, a sign of a deep bond from which, inevitably, Harry seems cut off.
the first time the duke has returned to England since the publication of the memoir, an international bestseller in which he recounted the break with his family but also his loneliness, his pain and the hope, one day, of a reconciliation. A possibility that seemed distant yesterday, with the spotlight on Carlo, on William, on a beautiful, perfect Kate, and on Camilla, the woman Harry begged his father not to marry and who would have sacrificed Harry himself on the altar of a better relationship with the press.
it was a quick visit. The king’s second son arrived on Friday by airliner to the amazement of passengers who found themselves on the same flight as him.
He seems to have stayed overnight at Frogmore Cottage, the villa near Windsor Castle that he had put in place together with his wife Meghan and where, probably, he will no longer be able to stay. In fact, Carlo has decided that the house will pass to Prince Andrew.
Yesterday at 15.45 left for Los Angeles11 hours of flight to be able to give a kiss to his son Archie who turned four on May 6th.
Did his father invite him to breakfast? It seems so – Harry, after all remains fifth in line to the throne after William and his three children – even if the duke preferred to leave immediately.
Harry will not appear like this in the official coronation photographs of his father. There will be William and Kate, Camilla’s children, Tom and Laura, and the Queen’s five grandchildren, Prince Andrew, British and foreign royalty, Camilla’s ladies-in-waiting, the Archbishop of Canterbury, leaders of all religions practiced in the UK but not the second son of the king.
an absence that does no credit to anyone, not Harry, not Charles or William.
