Prince Harry has once again thrown his father out of the frying pan and straight into the fire, with his new optics war, it seems.
It’s all broken down by royal commentator and Daily Beast contributor Tom Skyes on his substack “The Royalist.”
In it, he claims that although sources had earlier revealed that regular phone calls had resumed between father and son, and many believed Harry would “avoid overshadowing” major royal events like Remembrance Sunday scheduled for November 9, or even Armistice Day on November 11, “to make his own move”, instead “he has sparked a new war of optics”.
According to Mr Skyes, “his team denies any intention to overshadow William’s presentation in Rio – featuring Kylie Minogue and in the presence of world political leaders – but blamed the late announcement on Harry’s lack of international protected person status and ongoing security disputes.” ยป
But for the writer, this explanation is “unlikely to be convinced because, compared to the trip of someone like his older brother to Brazil, “a charity dinner in Toronto is likely to seem modest.”
For those unfamiliar with this trip, the Duke has a lot going for Canada. From visiting the Sunnybrook Veterans Center to attending events supporting veterans on Remembrance Day.
Additionally, all of this will follow a private luncheon hosted by the True Patriot Love Foundation, a group dedicated to supporting Canadian military personnel and their families.
