Prince Harry’s fractured relationship with his family could be set to worsen over what appears to be a breach to the agreement he made with the British Royals when he stepped away from his official duties.
Ever since the Duke of Sussex, 40, and wife Meghan Markle, 43, left the UK for America in 2020, tensions between Harry and the rest of his family have been rising.
Before making the move, it was said that the family reached an agreement known as the Sandringham Agreement, which contained a slew of requirements for Harry and Meghan to follow.
Amongst the guidelines for the couple was that they would retain their Royal Highness style, but would not use it, and that they would no longer be considered working royals.
However, one of those rules looks to have been broken, as the website for a new initiative that Prince Harry is involved in has seemingly referred to him as a royal… which is a big no-no under the Sandringham Agreement.
Prince Harry appeared in Las Vegas on Tuesday to announce his backing of The Diana Award’s new Pledge of Invest initiative.
While asking for donations on its site, The Diana Award offered a selection of rewards for companies who decide to contribute – one of which included a ticket to what they called a ‘royal gala.’
But to snag an invite to the ‘royal gala,’ attendees would have to fork over hundreds of thousands of dollars, as it is only being offered to companies that agree to donate $260,000 plus a year – in an apparent ‘cash for access’ exchange.

There are no further details about who might be among the hosts at the ‘royal gala,’ but a photo of Prince Harry has been strategically placed right above the blurb.
The Diana Award’s initiative is described as ‘exclusive opportunity for forward-thinking businesses like yours to make a strategic, measurable, and high-impact investment in the future of youth leadership.’
Prince Harry sat down to discuss the initiative with the chief executive of The Diana Award, as well as two of the holders of award on Tuesday.
‘In partnership with The Diana Award, he is helping bridge business investment and youth development, championing a vision where innovation, equity and service unite – not only to address today’s workforce challenges, but to unlock the full potential of the next generation of leaders,’ reads a press release.
‘In doing so, he continues the legacy of his mother, Princess Diana, whose unwavering belief in the power of young people remains at the heart of this mission.’
The appearance came days after Harry participated in a bombshell BBC television interview about his hopes for a ‘reconciliation’ with his family.
After losing the latest round in his court battle over his security, Harry said: ‘This, at the heart of it, is a family dispute.’
When asked if Charles had been approached to use his influence in Harry’s legal problems, the duke appeared to imply the King was a hindrance, a comment likely to deepen the rift with his father and his brother, Prince William.

He said: ‘I’ve never asked him to intervene, I’ve asked him to step out of the way and let the experts do their job.’
The health of the King, who is being treated for cancer, was highlighted by his son, who said: ‘And I said, life is precious.

‘I don’t know how much longer my father has, he, he won’t speak to me because of this security stuff, but it would be nice to reconcile.’
Harry, who appeared emotional and close to tears through much of the interview, offered an olive branch, saying he could ‘forgive my family’s involvement,’ naming Charles, the Prince of Wales and his stepmother, the Queen, in events since he began dating his wife Meghan in 2016.
He also said information he learned during the legal process led him to discover ‘some people want history to repeat itself,’ in an apparent reference to the death of Diana.
The duke lost a Court of Appeal challenge over his security arrangements while in the UK and said in the TV interview that he ‘can’t see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the UK.’
He failed in his appeal against the dismissal of his High Court claim against the Home Office, over the decision of the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) that he should receive a different degree of protection when in the UK.
