Prince Harry is said to be disappointed after receiving no public acknowledgment from King Charles III on his eighth wedding anniversary with Meghan Markle.
According to reports, the Duke of Sussex had hoped for some form of recognition from his father as he and Meghan marked eight years of marriage last week. However, no public message was issued by the King, sparking fresh speculation about the state of their relationship.
A source quoted by Closer magazine claimed that the absence of any acknowledgment was noticed by Harry and Meghan, particularly as the anniversary celebrations focused solely on the couple and their family life in California.
The insider alleged that while the Sussexes did not expect a message from Prince William and Catherine, they had hoped Charles might extend an olive branch to signal improving family ties.
According to the source, Harry believed relations with his father were beginning to improve and was surprised by the lack of communication surrounding the milestone occasion.
The report further claimed that the Duke felt let down by the King's silence, viewing it as a setback after signs that tensions between father and son might be easing.
Neither Buckingham Palace nor representatives for Harry and Meghan have publicly commented on the claims. As with many reports concerning royal family relationships, the assertions remain based on unnamed sources and have not been independently verified.
The latest claims come as ongoing interest continues to surround the relationship between Harry and the Royal Family following the couple's decision to step back from royal duties in 2020 and relocate to the United States.
