Harry Will Attend Philip's Funeral, Raising Hope Royal Rift Will Heal.

Although Harry will come home to mourn with the family, his pregnant wife Meghan will not. The patriarch’s death opens an uncertain chapter for the House of Windsor.

'Buckingham Palace said on Saturday that Prince Harry would be returning to Britain for Prince Philip’s funeral next weekend, setting in motion fevered speculation about whether the reunion would mend fences in the royal family or sow deeper discord.

The visit, Harry’s first since stepping down as a senior royal last year, will force a meeting with his brother, Prince William, and father, Prince Charles, who Harry said in an explosive interview last month were trapped in an unhappy palace life. But Harry will travel without his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, who palace officials said would remain at the couple’s California home on doctor’s orders because she is in the latter stages of pregnancy.'>>>

The majority of us don't give a crap about their unnecessary family drama. They brought this on themselves by valuing their right to express racist views over the well being of actual family members.

Harry has no obligation to be the bigger man after what they did to his wife.
