Prince Harry left out of Charles's video background as he shares snap with other royals

Prince Harry has again been left out of his dad Charles' video background after he shared a family snap excluding his second son.

The Prince of Wales, 72, hailed the "incomparable" D-Day veterans on the 77th anniversary of the Normandy landings in a video message last night.

Prince Charle's video was shared hours before Meghan Markle and Harry announced the news of their new daughter.

In a statement on Sunday afternoon, it was revealed Meghan has given birth to a 7lb 11oz daughter named Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, on Friday in California.

The couple's press secretary said: "It is with great joy that Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, welcome their daughter, Lilibet "Lili" Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, to the world.

"Lili was born on Friday, June 4 at 11.40am in the trusted care of the doctors and staff at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California.

"Her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honour her beloved late grandmother, The Princess of Wales."

Earlier in the day, Prince Charles had reportedly snubbed the couple by omitting their photograph from his video.

The Sun said that for the second time in two weeks, he shared a picture of him with the Queen, Prince William and young George, seven, as his video background.

The heir to the throne has been taking video calls from his offices at Birkhall or Highgrove during the pandemic.

The relationship between Charles and Harry has been strained since Megxit.

Harry criticised Charles' parenting and said he moved to California to "break the cycle of pain" for his wife Meghan in an explosive podcast chat last month.

He also claimed his father “suffered” due to his upbringing by the Queen and Prince Philip then “treated me the way he was treated”.

Charles was angry over the "personal attacks" in Harry's recent Apple TV documentary.

And an explosive interview with chat show host Oprah Winfrey experts said had done 'long-term damage' to Meghan and Harry's relationship with his family.

A collection of family photos are often seen behind him, including pictures of Harry 36, Meghan Markle, 39, and their son Archie.

But according to The Sun, the Sussexes and their son were absent from the photo positioned behind Charles once again.
