Asked whether he missed the UK, he replied: ‘I love my country, I always have done, despite what some people in that country have done… and I think that it’s really quite sad that I won’t be able to show my children my homeland.’ The Prince added that his ‘jaw hit the floor’ when he discovered a representative of the Royal Household sat on the Ravec committee (which is responsible for making decisions around security). In response, Buckingham Palace said: ‘All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion.’

While Zara Tindall didn’t specifically refer to Prince Harry’s recent troubles in her address, many assumed that she was alluding to her cousin when she spoke of the ‘struggles’ faced by the family. Zara speech wasn’t just about strife, however – she also referred to the late Queen as ‘amazing and an inspiration to all of us,’ adding that the whole family ‘had an incredible person to look up to who sadly is not here any more’. Hopefully, the Queen‘s enduring legacy will be enough to sustain the royal family’s ties – and ensure that, as Zara so poignantly said, they are there to support one another in the future.
