PRINCE Harry wore a orange outfit in a video clip to confirm he will attend the Invictus Games — further raising tensions with his family.
He said last week he will not be at his grandfather Prince Philip’s memorial service at Westminster on March 29.
But in an orange hat, sunglasses and T-shirt, he announced in Dutch via video yesterday: “See you soon in The Hague.”
His lawyers have said he “does not feel safe” travelling to the UK under the current security arrangements after he was told he would no longer be given the “same degree” of personal protection when visiting from the US, despite offering to pay for it himself.
A source last night told The Celeb Report said: “It is such a shame that he will miss his grandfather’s memorial service. It was supposed to be a time for the family to all come together to remember a great man.
“It was also hoped that the Queen would meet his daughter Lilibet for the first time and that would make it even more of a special occasion.
“Now none of that will go ahead – yet he is willing to travel to Holland for the Invictus Games, which is only 300-miles away.
“It will certainly raise eyebrows and most probably hurt feelings.”
The news is likely to add further tension to Harry’s already strained relationship with his family.
The Thanksgiving service will include family, friends, dignitaries and representatives of many charities and organisations with which the Duke of Edinburgh was associated.
A spokesperson added that Harry – who briefly visited the UK at the unveiling of Princess Diana’s memorial last July – hopes ‘to visit the Queen as soon as possible’.
