Prince Harry has decided not to attend the funeral of his uncle Robert Fellowes, as reported by US publication People. This decision comes after a dispute with the Home Office over security for his family during visits to the UK.
Piers Morgan responded to the reports by pointing out that Harry will be taking his wife to Bogotá instead. This sparked some backlash online, with some questioning the issue and others telling Piers to move on.
Some have pointed out that Colombia will provide full security for Harry and Meghan’s upcoming trip, as they plan to visit cities like Bogota and Cartagena at the invitation of Vice President Francia Marquez.
It is likely that Harry will miss the funeral service of Lord Fellowes, his uncle, due to security protocols that require advance notice for visits to the UK. Lord Fellowes, who passed away last month, was married to Harry’s aunt and was a close figure in royal circles.
Prince William is expected to attend the service, as he and Harry remain close to their mother’s family. Lord Fellowes served as an advisor to Queen Elizabeth for 13 years and passed away at the age of 82 on July 29.
