Prince Harry has been dealt a trio of "humiliations" in recent weeks, according to a royal commentator.

During his trip to the UK last month, Harry reportedly couldn't get an audience with King Charles due to the monarch's packed diary.

Royal expert Emily Andrews suggested that Harry was not only snubbed from the guest list for Trooping the Colour, but he was also notably "uninvited" from the Duke of Westminster's lavish nuptials earlier this month.

Writing in Woman magazine, she stated: "It has been humiliation after humiliation for Prince Harry.

"Harry has broken so many bonds of trust with so many people, it is difficult to see him ever attending a society wedding or Trooping the Colour again."

Harry's exclusion came despite the fact that the Duke, Hugh Grosvenor, 33, is a godfather to his son, Archie.

Emily suggests the recent snubs underscore the extent to which the prince is being ostracised by both family and friends. Earlier this year, Harry expressed a desire to reconnect with his family and spend more time in the UK.

However, upon his arrival last month, he released a statement indicating he wouldn't be seeing his father due to Charles's "full programme" and busy schedule.

According to Emily, meetings with the Prince and Princess of Wales were also off the table as they are "still understandably too hurt" to engage with him.

In a repeat of last year, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were noticeably absent from the Trooping the Colour celebrations.

Emily commented that it was simply "too awkward" for Harry to show up at the Duke of Westminster's wedding to Olivia Henson, 31, at Chester Cathedral this month.

She suggested that it was considered too "difficult" to have Harry there amidst the "frosty feud" with his brother, William, and they didn't want anything "overshadowing" the special day.

According to Emily, this sense of unease isn't just limited to public events – it also affects Harry's personal relationships. Friends and family worry about being featured in an upcoming book or Netflix production.
