Prince Harry is ignored at the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Is he threatened with the next public slap in the face at the Queen's funeral?
London – There are apparently signs that Meghan Markle (41) and Prince Harry (37) could experience the next humiliation at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II (96, † 2022) on September 19 at the latest in front of the whole world.
Six days after the monarch's death, the royals have moved closer together in their new roles and are preparing for the big farewell.
Only Prince Harry is alone with his grief and is not being treated with kid gloves, say royal experts.
William and Harry's fraternal tour is seen by experts as a formal farce
During the tour with Prince William (40) and the wives Kate Middleton (40) and Meghan Markle in Windsor, the family seemed to be united in grief.
But royal experts see the appearance as a formal farce.
Harry was not allowed to fly to Scotland with his brother and uncles in a private jet to say goodbye to his grandmother in the face of the Queen on his deathbed, nor would the walkabout have been a conciliatory gesture by Prince Williams, who,
according to a comment in news.com, was hard on the walkabout
negotiations preceded.

Prince Harry would sit in isolation at Frogmore Cottage, just a few yards as the crow flies from Windsor Castle and his brother, the newly appointed Prince of Wales, who resides with his family at Adelaide Cottage nearby.

(73) also left no doubt in his eulogy about what Prince Harry's future role will look like, namely unchanged: "You continue to build your life overseas." Prince Harry was rarely physically closer than now, but the gap to the family seems unbridgeable.
Prince Harry is not an innocent lamb
After interview allegations, public psychological reappraisal of family relationships, Harry's planned reveal biography and Netflix documentary, the royals have apparently lost a lot of trust.
With Queen Elizabeth II's death, the protective hand over Prince Harry is missing
Another indication that the days of extra frills for the Duke of Sussex are over is the wearing of the uniform, which is reserved for active royals only.
Particularly bitter for Harry: At the funeral of Prince Philips (99, † 2021), the Queen had changed the dress code in the spirit of her favorite grandson so that uniforms were undesirable.
Now, after ten years in the army and undisputed accomplishments, he must lay her to rest in a suit without his four awards on his lapel.

But the worst degradation may yet lie ahead for the king's second-born.
Having been relegated to the second row in the neighboring aisle at the Prince Philip's memorial service in St. Paul's Cathedral, the ducal couple of Sussex could now face similar ignominy.
It is to be hoped that the funeral ceremonies and the farewell of Queen Elizabeth II will not be overshadowed by such a debacle.
It would certainly not be in their interest.
