Complete and simple anger pushed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to share a birthday photo they otherwise would not have.
Today, Markle is celebrating her 41st birthday; not many people expect her to unveil a new photo of herself.
That tradition of official portraits is reserved for Queen Elizabeth II and the young royals.
It seems that Prince Harry and Markle were hoping to share a picture of their daughter, Lilibet Diana, on her first birthday.
Reports claimed that the power couple traveled to England to attend the Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II, accompanied by a private photographer.
It has been claimed that the plan was to get the special and emotional picture of Her Majesty meeting her namesake granddaughter, Lilibet, for the first time.
The pair most likely would have loved to release that photo on Lilibet’s birthday. However, that did not happen; due to health issues, Queen Elizabeth could not pose with her great-granddaughter.
It appears that Prince Harry and Markle were hit with other unhappy moments while in England.
The couple, who was accompanied by their two children, Archie and Lilibet, during the trip, were ignored by other royal relatives.
It appears that Kate Middleton and Prince William did not interact with the Sussex family.
Prince William and his clan also declined an invitation sent out by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to attend Lilibet’s birthday party.
Markle and Prince Harry were left in a rather humiliating position before and after they attended Queen Elizabeth’s Thanksgiving Service.
The duo was snubbed by Prince Charles, Prince William, Kate Middleton, and other royals who declined to interact with them as the cameras rolled.
Upon returning to California, Prince Harry and Markle surprised the world by publishing a beautiful photo of Lilibet.
According to commentator Neil Sean, the powerful couple unveiled the photo out of “sheer anger” over their poor treatment during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations.
He said: “We know that when Harry and Meghan returned to California rather abruptly during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.”
He continued: “Then, we’ve got this bombshell dropped on our mats. And it’s strange because Meghan famously said, ‘Why should I serve up my children on a platter for the waiting media or for anyone? It’s not what I want to do. Then what does she do? Serve it up on a platter for the waiting media, for anyone.”
Sean claimed that the duo wanted to make their presence felt with the photo and added: “Now, according to a very good source, this was really put out through sheer anger because they felt – and I’m saying the ex-royals, that is – and as ever allegedly, that they were so dramatically overlooked that they wanted to obviously make sure that their presence was felt.”
He also said: “So, by releasing the picture of Lilibet Diana, the world focus would return back on them – a strange thing to do. Strange thing to do. But I’m sure you’ll agree. But of course, it did. You know, a delightful picture of a beautiful daughter and I thought looked really cheeky in fact, whichever way you look at it.”
The saga will get more twisted with the release of Prince Harry’s tell-all book.
