Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well. I wanted to share an update regarding Prince Harry's recent trip to the UK to attend the funeral of his late uncle, Robert Fellowes. Lord Fellowes was the husband of Princess Diana's sister Lady Jane Spencer, and he passed away on July 29th.
It seems Prince Harry was able to make the trip from his home in Montecito, California to the UK to pay his respects and attend the funeral. This comes as a surprise to many, as the British tabloids had been reporting for days that Harry would likely not attend due to security concerns. Articles stated Harry would not come, and sources close to Harry reportedly said he wasn't planning to travel.

However, it's clear now that the royal family and UK media knew nothing about Harry's plans to go. They had no information whatsoever. The tabloids wrote so many articles claiming Harry wouldn't come that it shows they were completely in the dark about his visit. With no leaks coming from Montecito, Harry was able to keep his trip very private.
In fact, there aren't even any photos of Harry arriving in the UK. The tabloids had no clue he was coming until news of his attendance broke after the funeral already took place. I love the stealthy way the Sussexes are able to move these days without tabloids catching wind of their plans.

It's also evident that Harry has remained close with the Spencer family. They were the only relatives who showed up to support Harry's Invictus Games anniversary event in the UK earlier this year, while other royals like King Charles and Prince William failed to attend. So it was only right for Harry to pay his respects to support the Spencers during their time of grief over Lord Fellowes' passing.
Reports also indicated the Spencers attended Lilibet's christening, showing their close bond with Harry's family. In contrast, the tabloids' claims that a "local family friend" attending the funeral leaked news of Harry's presence there makes no sense. It's far more likely that person leaking the information was actually from within the royal circles themselves.

In reality, some experts believe the one who leaked the story of Harry's attendance to the press was none other than Prince William himself. We all know William loves sharing private details about Harry with the tabloids. And attaching himself to any story about Harry is the only way William can gain media attention these days.
The British press admitted in their own articles that they are furious with William for not tipping them off about Harry's visit sooner. This shows they know all royal secrets are leaked by people within Kensington Palace. If William had known about Harry's trip, he definitely would have told the tabloids so they could stalk and photograph Harry as he grieved with his family.
What's truly disgusting is that the tabloids were angry they missed an opportunity to intrude on and photograph Princess Diana's grieving relatives. All they care about is profiting off other people's private pain. That the royal press corps feels entitled to be tipped off about family funerals just shows their complete lack of decency or respect for people in mourning.

The tabloids' anger is squarely aimed at William for not knowing about Harry's visit himself and therefore not leaking sensitive information about a private family funeral. This admission proves yet again that Kensington Palace, likely William himself, is the single biggest source of leaks about the Sussexes. They throw private family details to the press at every opportunity.

In the end, I'm glad Harry was able to make the trip in stealth mode unnoticed by the leaky royal circles and intrusive tabloid press. He honored his late uncle privately without being shadowed or photographed during a sad time. While the British media fights in outrage over being left out of the loop, the Sussexes stay focused on supporting each other through difficult personal moments away from prying eyes. Their quiet, compassionate approach is refreshing.

In closing, it seems the close bond between the Spencers and Sussexes continues as Harry steps up to stand with his family during their hour of grief. While the royal press corp proves once more they have no boundaries or sense of decency. What are your thoughts on Prince Harry's able to attend this funeral privately without tabloid intrusion?
