NEW DELHI:
Prince Harry
, Duke of Sussex, has reportedly pulled out of attending the high-profile
wedding
of Jordanian Crown Prince Hussein and Rajwa Al Saif, recognizing the challenges his presence might pose. Initially planned as one of the most significant social events of the year, the wedding is also set to see the
attendance
of Harry's brother, Prince William.
As per a Daily Mail report, sources close to the situation claim that Prince Harry, having initially intended to attend, later reconsidered, acknowledging the potential difficulties and unwanted attention his presence could bring. "Harry realised the challenges of attending," the insider revealed.
The decision comes amid ongoing tensions and a reported rift between Harry and the rest of the British royal family. While Prince William is still scheduled to attend, Harry's absence has drawn considerable media attention and speculation.
Jordan's Crown Prince Hussein and Rajwa Al Saif's wedding has attracted many high-profile guests from around the world, highlighting the event's significance. The wedding is expected to be a grand affair, bringing together royals, dignitaries, and celebrities.
Despite his absence, Prince Harry's decision has been seen by some as a respectful move, aimed at avoiding overshadowing the couple's special day with media focus on his strained family relations. "It's a
high-society
wedding that would have attracted even more attention if both brothers had been present," noted a royal commentator.
Prince Harry's choice reflects his growing awareness of the impact of his actions and the importance of managing public perceptions, especially in light of his ongoing efforts to balance his new life in the United States with his connections to the British monarchy.
As the wedding day approaches, all eyes will be on Prince William and the dynamics within the royal family, while Prince Harry's absence will likely continue to be a topic of discussion.
