Kate Middleton’s surprising appearance at the Trooping the Colour has reportedly left Prince Harry speechless and heartbroken.
The Duke of Sussex, feeling increasingly like an outsider, experienced the biggest snub of the year from the royal family amid King Charles and Princess Kate’s health woes.
According to a new report, Harry had been expecting an invite from his father to join the other royals at the Trooping the Colour.
However, King Charles III’s younger son was not invited to the monarch’s official birthday parade on June 15. A source claimed that Harry felt “upset” when he saw footage of Princess Kate at the royal event.
“It was painful for Harry to see all his family gathered for Trooping the Colour.
He would have dearly loved to have been there, if only to congratulate and support Kate in person on what must have been an incredibly difficult day for her,” an insider told Closer magazine.
The Duke’s reaction to the footage of Kate was very telling, according to the source.
“Harry was particularly upset and emotional when he saw the footage of Kate.
He’s been so worried about her ever since he received the news of her condition, and while he has managed to connect with her on a few occasions, it’s not nearly as often as he’d like,” the source added.
“He could see she was putting on a stoic, brave face, but ultimately having the eyes of the world on her was a lot of pressure. The fact he had to watch from 6,000 miles away just made him so sad.”

The source continued, “It really hammered home how he’s an outsider at this point. He would just love to have her – along with the rest of his family – back in his life properly.”
Harry, who stepped down as a senior working royal in 2020 to start a new life in California with his wife and children, last visited the UK in May.
However, the Duke did not meet his father, King Charles, as the monarch was “too busy” to see him.
As the royal family continues to navigate these complex dynamics, the emotional toll on its members becomes increasingly evident, particularly for Prince Harry.
