Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have decided it is the Royal Family’s loss that they will not take part in King Charles III‘s first Trooping of the Colour.
King Charles will celebrate his big day without his youngest son, Prince Harry, according to reliable royal sources.
His Majesty will have a massive parade, ride a horse, and have his adoring supporters chant his name through London’s busy streets chanting his name.
King Charles and his wife, Queen Camilla, will appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace with Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their young children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
Many assumed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were saddened or upset by King Charles’s decision not to invite them to the event.
However, according to a royal expert, it is quite the contrary: Prince Harry and his wife are delighted to remain in California with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex no longer want to fly to England to play second fiddle to Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are no longer working members of the Royal Family, and therefore they are not allowed to have roles at official events, and they have been banned from appearing on the Buckingham Palace balcony.
In 2022, the Montecito royals were invited by Queen Elizabeth II to attend the Platinum Jubilee celebration.
It was a humiliating situation where Markle and her husband were seen behind windows watching over young royal children while the adults stood on the famous balcony to wave at the people below.
Royal expert and author Tessa Dunlop sat down with The Mirror and had this to say about the situation: “Last year he attended the Trooping of the Colour because his one-time commander-in-chief, the Queen, was celebrating her Platinum Jubilee. But even then, he and Meghan cut shadowy civilian figures, seen briefly in a window. There was no balcony appearance. Those days are gone. Will he miss them? I doubt it.”
Prince Harry, the only member of the Royal Family to have served in the army, has been stripped of all titles and is not permitted to wear his honorary uniform since quitting his duties in 2020.
She added that this is yet another embarrassing moment that Prince Harry has avoided by skipping the trip to the UK.
She shared: “Harry, despite his impressive two tours in Afghanistan, is now an army veteran like any other ordinary ex-soldier. He has been stripped of his honorary uniform and titles.”
According to the royal commentator, for all the reasons mentioned above and because of the ongoing rift, Prince Harry has no interest in crossing the ocean to be booed by the public and degraded by his family.
She stated: “We now know that playing second fiddle (Spare) to William chaffed, and I suspect he is also relieved that, courtesy of his new civilian identity, he does not have to cross the Atlantic for yet another ceremonial pit-stop.”
She concluded by saying: “With family tensions unresolved, these days the prince’s priority in Britain is his many legal cases. Harry is a changed man; he has opted for America and freedom from an institution over the British royal family and their unique version of duty. For fans of the Sussexes in Britain, his absence will be a loss, but one we need to get used to.”
Additionally, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have more urgent matters to deal with; the duo has parted ways with Spotify and will not receive the full $20 million because they failed to produce enough content.
