Prince Charles ‘snubs Harry but praises Will’, claims royal expert
Prince Charles has ignored youngest son Prince Harry in favour of praising William in an "uncharacteristic snub", a royal expert has claimed.
The heir to the throne revealed he was "very proud" of his eldest lad ahead of the Earthshot prize, the inaugural awards launched by William to recognise people and organisations trying to save the planet.
Charles had said: "I am very proud of my son, William, for his growing commitment to the environment and the bold ambition of the Earthshot prize."
According to royal expert Daniela Elser, this show of paternal pride suggests that the "younger prince has literally and figuratively been cut out of the picture".
She wrote in News.Au: "Most obviously, Charles' post reflected the growing closeness between the two future Kings, both in a personal sense and in terms of the alignment of their official work.
"It would all be cockle-warming stuff if not for one uncomfortable sore point: Prince Harry.
"The younger prince has literally and figuratively been cut out of the picture by an ascendant palace basking in the warm glow of success in their new capacity as climate change powerbrokers.

Daniela continues that Charles "never took a moment out of his busy day to tell the world how proud he was of Harry" over the success of the Invictus Games.

The 37-year-old launched the Games in 2014 for wounded servicemen and women and veterans, which "helped cement his image as the natural heir to Diana, the Princess of Wales' compassionate legacy".
The royal commentator added: "The sting in the tale [pun intended] goes beyond the fact that Harry has been left out in the cold but that the very work which is earning William such praise is the very same territory that Harry has been trying to stake out as one of his defining, post-palace career causes.
