Royal snub: how prince harry was issued ominous warning about future

PRINCE ANDREW WAS 'OVERSHADOWED' BY CHARLES SAYS EXPERT Harry is the younger brother of Prince William, who is second in line to the throne as Prince Charles’ eldest son. While

William is often perceived as the more dutiful son, Harry is seen as the loveable rogue of the Royal Family. Unlike his brother who attended University of St Andrews, he did not go to

university and instead fulfilled his lifelong dream by joining the Army and going on a couple of tours in Afghanistan before becoming a full-time royal. He settled down into married life

only last year at 34 when he wed the American actress and divorcee Meghan Markle in May 2018. RELATED ARTICLES They had their first child, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor five months ago

and have decided to raise him as a ‘private citizen’ without an official royal title – in stark contrast to William’s children, who are known as Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince

Louis. In 2017 Radio 5 Live series ‘Images of Diana’, royal experts speculated over how Prince Andrew and Prince Harry are connected – both men have older brothers who will almost

definitely inherit the throne one day. Royal commentator Camilla Tominey said: “I think there is a sense that Prince Harry needs to find the right direction and role in life.  “You wouldn’t

want to see Prince Harry cast in the role that the Duke of York has been, being totally overshadowed by his older brother in terms of his charitable commitment and seen as somebody who has

all the trappings of royal life with perhaps not taking enough responsibility for what his role is.” Andrew, the Duke of York, was second-in-line to the throne at the time of his birth.

officer rather than an army captain. He also dated a famous American actress, Kathleen ‘Koo’ Stark, but their relationship ended and he later married – and divorced – his childhood friend

Sarah Ferguson. Up until Andrew turned 40, it was believed he could become Prince Regent if both the Queen and Prince Charles were to die. William would then have been crowned King once he

reached his 18th birthday. Now William has children of his own, Andrew has been pushed further down the line of succession and is known primarily for his complicated divorce from Ms

Ferguson. READ MORE: KATE MIDDLETON CONFESSION: WHY PRINCE CHARLES MADE DUCHESS 'NERVOUS' Andrew pictured with his ex-wife Fergie and the Queen (Image: GETTY) RELATED ARTICLES

However, Ms Tominey explained how Harry has a particular niche which means he stands out in the Royal Family and is less likely to be “overshadowed” like Andrew. She said: “He is universally

popular, Harry, not just here but abroad. “He does give the royals that element of fun and touchability that they need.” Still, The Sun’s royal photographer Arthur Edwards explained how

Prince Harry has occasionally stepped out of line and revealed too much about his personal life. He once considered renouncing his royal title and even told an American magazine about this

difficult decision he had to make. DON'T MISS Prince Harry's royal rift words:We pride ourselves on convening people [INSIGHT] Royal security: How Harry and Meghan have learnt

Wales raises £100million for charity per year. “Look to their father, look to their grandmother – I don’t think they would have said that.  “I think he would have got a lot of stick over

that and I think he deserved it.” Ms Tominey, however, explained how difficult it is for Harry and William to establish their own roles in the Royal Family without stepping on other family

members’ toes. She said: “I think that William is acutely aware of his place in the pecking order. They have a difficult role to play in not overshadowing Prince Charles and Camilla too

much.” Prince William and Harry are thought to have a close bond (Image: GETTY) Ms Kaplinksy added: “Very difficult balance all round isn’t it?” There have been reports of William taking up

the throne instead of his father, despite only being second in line. A 2019 poll carried out for the Independent also revealed nearly half of the British population would be happy for the

crown to skip past Prince Charles and go directly to Prince William upon the Queen’s death. This is believed to be because of Charles’ age – he will be 71 in November – but, William

apparently does not want to take on the added responsibility of being a King earlier than might be necessary.  Now that William has three children, it is unlikely Harry will ever ascend the

throne.
