Considering that Prince Harry lives on another continent these days, we'd assume that his family would take any opportunity to see him when he's in town, but that doesn't seem to be the case. After his dad, King Charles, snubbed him, mom Princess Diana's family showed up for him in full force, and according to a source close to the Duke of Sussex, he couldn't be more "thrilled" that they were there for him on an important day when the rest of his family wasn't.

Harry was in town to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the Invictus Games.
Harry helped found the annual event that celebrates wounded and injured military members as they compete in different athletic events, and it's remained an important cause to him even after he walked away from royal life.
None of the royals, however, showed up to celebrate the milestone with him.
Princess Diana's family came to the celebration to cheer Harry on.
Princess Diana's brother, Charles Spencer (known as Earl Spencer), and her sister, Lady Jane Fellowes, were both in attendance at the Invictus Games event on Wednesday, along with cousins Lara Spencer, Louis Spencer, and George McCorquodale. Harry was photographed smiling and hugging his uncle.
"You can see how sweet they were together," a source told Page Six.
Charles wasn't able to be there.
Earlier in the week, Harry's rep issued a statement confirming that he wouldn't be seeing his father at all while he was in the UK due to Charles' "full schedule."
The statement said: "In response to the many inquiries and continued speculation on whether or not The Duke will meet with his father while in the U.K. this week, it unfortunately will not be possible due to His Majesty’s full program. The Duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon."
The royal family was otherwise engaged at the time.
Harry's event was held at the St. Paul Cathedral – less than three miles away from Buckingham Palace, where the rest of the royal family was busy attending a garden party hosted by Charles.
Page Six reported that Queen Camilla, Princess Anne, Prince Edward, and Sophie were among the royals in attendance at the party.

It's good to know that Diana's family keeps showing up for Harry. He must really appreciate knowing the Spencers are in his corner!
