EXCLUSIVE: PRINCE HARRY FIXATED ON ROYAL FAMILY’S VE DAY APPEARANCE AS PALACE CLOSES RANKS
“He watches every second,” insider says. “But they barely think of him.”
While the royal family stood shoulder-to-shoulder on the Buckingham Palace balcony for Monday’s VE Day celebration, one person wasn’t there — but couldn’t stop watching.
Prince Harry, thousands of miles away in California, obsessively rewatched footage of the public reunion between King Charles, Prince William, Kate Middleton, and the next generation of royals.
“Harry may say he’s moved on,” a royal insider tells #ShuterScoop, “but the truth is, he’s far more interested in them than they are in him.”
Just days after his emotional BBC interview addressing his fractured ties to the monarchy, Harry was glued to coverage of the palace’s picture-perfect unity. While King Charles, Queen Camilla, and the full Windsor cast beamed for the cameras — with little Prince Louis once again stealing the show — Harry was fixated on every gesture, every wave, every grin.
“He watches all of it — balcony appearances, even the little viral moments with Louis,” the insider says. “It’s almost like he can’t help himself.”
The 80th anniversary of VE Day marked yet another major event where Harry was notably absent — and even more notably unmentioned. The palace put on a flawless show of togetherness, with William and Kate leading the charge alongside their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
Sources close to Harry say his feelings of isolation are deepening.
“He still wants to be part of it, whether he’ll admit it or not,” one source adds. “But the family has closed ranks. They’re done waiting for him to come around.”
And the silence on their end speaks volumes.
“No one brought up Harry that day,” the insider confirms. “There was no space for drama — it was about the monarchy’s future, and Harry wasn’t part of that picture.”
As for Louis, the young royal once again went viral with his playful antics — this time pretending to drum on the balcony railing. Meanwhile, Harry watched from afar, a spectator in a life he once lived.
