Expert believes royal brothers are “playing with fire” after Prince William’s one-word jab at Harry in his coronation speech

After months of speculation, Prince Harry finally attended his father’s coronation this weekend. The Duke of Sussex travelled to London, attended the coronation, and then returned to the United States to reunite with Meghan and their two children.

Much had been made beforehand about whether Harry, his brother Prince William, and his father King Charles would be able to sit down and make amends. Needless to say, their present feud has rocked the monarchy to its foundations.

As previously stated, Harry chose not to attend the private coronation lunch and opportunity to meet with his family. However, William is said to have made a dig at both his brother and Meghan Markle.

Suffice it to say that William’s relationship with the Sussexes is far from restored…

A large coronation concert was held at Windsor on Sunday, the day after the event.

Take That, Lionel Richie, and Katy Perry performed without Robbie Williams. The schedule also included a “coronation choir,” a varied group of community choirs and amateur singers from across the UK, including refugee choruses, NHS choirs, LGBTQ+ singing groups, and deaf signing choirs.

A ticket ballot was used to choose 10,000 persons for the audience, which included volunteers from charities linked with King Charles and Queen Camilla, as well as the royals themselves.

In front of a large crowd, Prince William delivered a speech in which he praised his father, whom he addressed as “Pa.” He also paid tribute to his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, whom he described as a “proud mum” who would be witnessing her son’s coronation. William couldn’t help but make a dad joke in his remarks.

“I’d like to say a few words about my father and why this weekend is so important to me.” But, unlike Lionel, I won’t be on all night,” the future king quipped, nodding.

But William didn’t just talk about the royals who were present. According to sources, he appeared to make a bitter dig at Harry and Meghan for abandoning the Royal Family.

“For all that the celebrations are magnificent, at the heart of the pageantry is a simple message – service,” William explained.

So, what was the significance of that? When Harry and Meghan departed the Royal Family, they said in part, “We can all live a life of service.” “Service is available to everyone.”

Later in his speech, William reaffirmed his devotion to public service.

He contended that it is not up to King Charles to assist the brothers in making reparations because the monarch, according to “many experts,” is too frail.

“Great Britain cannot afford to have a fractured royal family that does not represent the true values of the people,” Turner added.

“It is not [William and Harry’s] right, in my opinion, to behave in such a dishonourable manner.”

“It will be resolved if the people of Great Britain turn their backs on the new king and show the [same] disdain… that the two brothers are displaying in public,” he added. “William and Harry, in my opinion, are playing with fire, which could engulf the entire House of Windsor in flames,” he said.
