Duke of Sussex Prince Harry, who has decided not to return to UK for Prince Philip's memorial service later this month, will ‘raise eyebrows and hurt feelings’ with his decision to attend the Invictus Games in Holland.
The Express UK, quoting The Sun, reported that it was such a shame that he would miss his grandfather's memorial service.
“It was supposed to be a time for the family to all come together to remember a great man,” the report cited a source as saying.
"It was also hoped that the Queen would meet Lilibet for the first time and that would make it even more of a special occasion.”
It further said, "Now none of that will go ahead - yet he is willing to travel to Holland for the Invictus Games, which is only 300-miles away. It will certainly raise eyebrows and most probably hurt feelings."
Prince Harry would attend the Invictus Games, a sporting event he founded for disabled military veterans that starts in The Hague on April 16.
