Prince Harry was not invited to cousin Peter Phillips's wedding to Harriet Sperling in Gloucestershire on 6 June, a report says, leaving the Duke of Sussex, 41, in California while senior royals including King Charles, Queen Camilla and the Prince and Princess of Wales attended the celebration in the English countryside. The New Idea report says Harry felt the absence keenly, with sources claiming the wedding has only sharpened his homesickness for Britain and his wish for his children to remain connected to his homeland.
The latest claims land against a backdrop of a relationship between Harry and the wider royal family that has remained strained since he and Meghan Markle moved to California in 2020. The report says Harry has continued to speak warmly about Britain in public, including in a November essay in which he wrote about the 'banter of the mess, the clubhouse, the pub, the stands' and described them as part of what makes people British.
