Prince William isn\u2019t losing sleep over his estranged brother Prince Harry\u2019s latest moves in the UK. And he showed that clearly on Thursday, December 11, when he joined the Welsh Guards for their annual Christmas celebrations.<\/p>\n
The Prince of Wales spent the night thanking the regiment for their service as Colonel \u2014 a title he inherited from King Charles III in 2022. And the festive gathering took place only hours after new reports suggested Harry\u2019s push to increase his security in the UK has a much bigger goal that could clash with the royal family\u2019s interests.<\/p>\n
But William, 44, didn\u2019t let the reports about Harry, 41, rattle him. In photos and videos shared on the Prince and Princess of Wales\u2019 Instagram account, he\u2019s seen serving pudding, enjoying a beer, and sharing easy laughter with the troops.<\/p>\n
\u201cHappy Christmas to the Welsh Guards!\u201d read the accompanying caption. \u201cProud to be Colonel of Regiment \u2013 and to serve pudding to the Junior Ranks this year! A huge thank you to the soldiers and families of the Welsh Guards for everything you do,\u201d the future king added. <\/p>\n
The night out came just two days after Harry secured his first major step forward since losing his police protection in 2020. After initially rejecting his appeal, the Home Office has now ordered a threat assessment to determine whether Harry and his family require police protection when they\u2019re in the UK. A final decision is expected next month.<\/p>\n
But according to Cosmopolitan, the Duke of Sussex\u2019s push for protection goes far beyond concerns for Meghan Markle and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A source told the outlet that Harry has been \u201cplaying the long game. Harry wants legitimacy. He wants to operate in the UK on his own terms \u2014 meetings, charitable work, high-level engagements \u2014 without being treated like a guest in his own country.\u201d<\/p>\n
The source further claimed, \u201cWilliam has his court. Harry wants his.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince William isn\u2019t losing sleep over his estranged brother Prince Harry\u2019s latest moves in the UK.
