In the British upper class, in the historical aristocratic circles, interpersonal relationships and social etiquette have always been sensitive and complex issues. Recently, Prince Harry, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, was once again in the spotlight with Meghan Markle, as they were not invited to the lavish wedding of Hugh Grosvenor, Duke of Westminster. However, their explanations do not seem to have quelled the controversy and instead became the object of ridicule.
The couple is known for their extreme concern for "face", and their every move is in the spotlight. Prince Harry reportedly refused to attend the wedding of his childhood friend, Hugh Grosvenor, Britain's richest young duke, on the grounds that he wanted to avoid awkward clashes with his relatives. However, this move was interpreted by ** as his "abandonment", which caused more controversy.
Hugh Grosvenor, Duke of Westminster, is worth a whopping 92400 million pounds, heir to the Grosvenor family. He has been friends with Prince Harry and William since he was a teenager, and has a close relationship with the British royal family, and his father is the godfather of King Charles III. However, due to Harry and Meghan's recent tensions with the royal family, Grosvenor did not include the couple on the wedding invitation list.
The United Kingdom has revealed that Grosvenor has invited King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William and Princess Kate to his upcoming wedding at Chester Church. However, due to the tensions on Harry and Meghan's side, Grosvenor chose to side with William and Kate and the royal couple, and did not invite Harry and Meghan, becoming the focus of attention.
In the face of doubts from the outside world, Harry and Meghan tried to justify through sources, saying that Harry had personally received a wedding "please reserve the date" invitation, but due to the possibility of an awkward conflict, Harry declined the invitation. However, this explanation did not have the desired effect, and instead provoked more ridicule.
The Grosvenor family was controversial back in 2004 over the wedding invitation. At the wedding of his sister Tamara Grosvenor, due to Camilla's sensitive status, Buckingham Palace asked her to sit separately from Charles to avoid an embarrassing scene. This historical event echoes what happened to Harry and Meghan, highlighting the subtlety and complexity of interpersonal relationships in British aristocratic circles.
Faced with the social etiquette of aristocratic circles, Harry and Meghan's situation is very embarrassing. It is widely believed that their explanations have not been effective in quelling the controversy, but have instead made them a public laughing stock. There are comments that Harry and Meghan should focus more on easing tensions with the royal family, rather than trying to "save face" through explanations. The incident also provoked a deep reflection on the etiquette and interpersonal relationships of the British upper class, revealing the intrigue and subtlety of aristocratic circles.
Overall, Harry and Meghan's "abandonment" highlights the complex interpersonal relationships and social rules of the British upper class, while also echoing the commonality of historical events. The incident sparked widespread attention among the public and reflects an eternal curiosity about the royal family and its surrounding social circles.
