TOPSHOT – Britain’s Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Britain’s Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex follow the coffin during the ceremonial funeral procession of Britain’s Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh to St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle in Windsor, west of London, on April 17, 2021. – Philip, who was married to Queen Elizabeth II for 73 years, died on April 9 aged 99 just weeks after a month-long stay in hospital for treatment to a heart condition and an infection.
When he becomes king upon the death of his father, Charles III, William said he would do things differently, “maybe a smaller ‘r’ in the royal,”He also discussed his plans for a more caring monarchy by “throw some empathy in there as well because I really care about what I do.” “In happier years, it was the irreverent Harry who could tease the Prince of Wales and take him down a peg,” Brown wrote. She also suggested that William is surrounded by yes-men, people who, “in Kara Swisher’s inimitable phrase about those who live in a gilded bubble, ‘lick him up and down all day.”’
For this reason, Brown said, there was “a gaping Harry-shaped hole in the depleted royal line-up” at the ceremony. She pointed out that Harry is a veteran of two military tours in Afghanistan and a founder of the Invictus Games, the nonprofit that “brings hope through competitive sports events for injured vets.”
Brown then asks the ongoing question for royal fans and critics: Could things change? Could Harry reconcile with his father or even with his brother, who reportedly is especially angry about swipes that Harry took against Catherine in his memoir, “Spare.”“William, whatever his abiding resentments toward Harry for his intemperate broadsides in ‘Spare,’ should now suck it up and let his father give Harry something to do,” Brown continued.
