British Royal Family News says that Prince William wanted to send his brother Prince Harry – and maybe even his sister-in-law Meghan Markle – a strong message with a family photo that did not include them last year. Here’s what you need to know.
According to his book, Battle of Brothers, royal expert and author Robert Lacey says that Prince William purposely made sure that Prince Harry was not included in the “line of succession” photo that the royals released right before the Christmas holiday last year.
British Royal Family News: Prince William Wanted To Send Prince Harry A Message With Holiday Photo
The photo had Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, Prince William and his son, Prince George. Apparently, Prince William was the one who made the biggest push for the photo, as he wanted to send a message to his little brother that these were the people who mattered in the monarchy and that it was time for Harry and Meghan to know where their place was.
In a new interview with Us Weekly, Lacey puts it this way, “According to insiders, this formal photograph, taken in the Buckingham Palace Throne Room a week before Christmas 2019, was the idea of Prince Charles, anxious to promote his cause of the ‘slimmed-down monarchy.’ Palace sources have also let it be known that the plan of depicting the direct line of royal succession was enthusiastically supported by Prince William, who was not saying anything for the record—but who wanted to send his younger brother a message.”
Well, both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle certainly got the message as soon thereafter they packed their bags and moved from London to Los Angeles in the hopes that they would have a better life away from all of the drama they left behind at Buckingham Palace. Some would say that it’s actually worked in their favor, too.
