5 Tragedies That Have Struck the Royal Family in 2024

The rift between the British royal family and the Sussexes remains unresolved. Reportedly, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle learned of Catherine, Princess of Wales’ cancer diagnosis through her social media post, and they were not invited to a significant event.

In a February 2024 “Good Morning America” interview, Harry said after King Charles III told him about his cancer diagnosis, “I jumped on a plane and went to go see him as soon as I could.” Harry added, “Look, I love my family,” and expressed gratitude about being able to see Charles then. However, Harry didn’t see his brother William, Prince of Wales, during that trip. When Harry was in the U.K. again in May 2024 for the Invictus Games 10th anniversary event, he was unable to see his father. A representative for Harry told Page Six it was due to Charles’ busy schedule, but other sources weren’t so sure.

The royal feud is still straining relationships. However, things could be turning around — for Charles and Harry, at least. On July 1, 2024, it was reported Charles might want to visit Harry, Meghan, and their children Archie and Lilibet in California. A source told New Idea, “This feud has gone on for far too long, and Charles is anxious to sort it out — but he knows it has to be on Harry and Meghan’s home turf, particularly if he wants to see the grandchildren.”
