Family events can be trying, especially large ones carrying emotion, big birthdays, weddings, funerals and baby events. They should be a time to pull people together and strengthen the family bond, but sometimes it doesn’t work out. Even with the British Royal family. People are quietly surprised about Prince Harry’s snub for Archie’s christening.
Only true royal watchers would notice the absence of one of Harry’s uncles at baby Archie’s christening on July 6. Only 25 guests were invited to the ceremony, but a major player was not in attendance: Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer.
While Meghan and Harry paid tribute to Diana by invitig her sisters (even Kate Middleton paid tribute by wearing a pair of Princess Di’s old earrings), her brother was visibly absence. And there’s a good reason.

Harry and Charles had a falling out years ago and it doesn’t look like they’re going to make amends anytime soon.
A source tells The Sun, “It was no surprise that the Earl was not at the christening as he and Harry have been distant for a long time now.

“The falling out goes back years and it is hard to see them ever making amends.
“Harry has always been closer to his aunties and he is not a big fan of Charles or his wife.
“The earl is paying the price for his selfishness.”

Tensions between Charles Spencer and the royals is believed to have started following Diana’s split from Prince Charles in 1993. So we should be surprised by Prince Harry’s snub for Archie’s christening.
According to The Sun, several letters found at Diana’s home in 2002 suggest that Lord Spencer turned down her request to move into the family’s Althorp estate at a time she needed him most — just months after her separation became public.
