Prince Harry has finally spoken out regarding King Charles’ recent decision to appoint David Beckham as the ambassador of The King’s Foundation. The former football star expressed his enthusiasm about the new role, stating, “I’m excited to be working with The King’s Foundation and to have the opportunity to help raise awareness of the charity’s work.”
However, reports suggest that Prince Harry is not pleased with this development. According to Woman’s Day, the Duke of Sussex feels a sense of betrayal and jealousy over the newfound camaraderie between his father and Beckham. An insider revealed, “Harry’s head has been spinning since he saw those photos. He can’t help but feel jealous – and betrayed.”
The source added, “David was his friend not so long ago, so it’s a double blow to see him being friendly with his dad and taking an ambassadorship role that should have been for him.” The insider further mentioned, “Clearly there’s genuine affection between Charles and David but this will deeply upset Harry, who is still smarting over his father’s snub when he was in London just weeks ago.”
Woman’s Day published the report with the headline, “Prince Harry tells King Charles, ‘David’s not your son!’” This headline captures the essence of Harry’s feelings of exclusion and disappointment.
In other royal news, Prince William has been active in his royal duties, recently attending a gala dinner for the London Air Ambulance Charity. During his speech, he thanked everyone for their support for his father, King Charles, and his wife, Kate Middleton, who are both dealing with health issues. “I’d like to take this opportunity to say thank you, also, for the kind messages of support for Catherine and for my father, especially in recent days. It means a great deal to us all,” William said.
King Charles, who is undergoing cancer treatment, and Kate Middleton, who is recovering from abdominal surgery, have been the focus of public concern. Buckingham Palace announced that the king had sought treatment for an enlarged prostate and underwent surgery, while Kate had a planned operation and is now recovering at home.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry has been busy with his own initiatives. He recently launched a new travel partnership called Travalyst, aimed at making travel more sustainable. During an event in Amsterdam, Harry addressed the criticism over his use of private jets, stating, “We can all do better and while no one is perfect, we all have a responsibility for our own individual impact.”
Harry’s new project teams up with major players in the travel industry, including Booking.com, SkyScanner, CTrip, TripAdvisor, and Visa, to influence the way the world travels. The initiative aims to help communities benefit more locally from visitors, educate people about sustainable travel, and work with travel companies to make it easier for people to make sustainable choices.
Despite his professional endeavors, the tension between Harry and his father remains palpable. The Duke of Sussex’s feelings of being sidelined in favor of David Beckham highlight the ongoing complexities within the royal family. As Harry continues to navigate his new life and responsibilities, the dynamics between him and the rest of the royal family will undoubtedly remain a topic of public interest.
