Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have differing feelings on missing the 2024 Trooping the Colour, an expert has claimed.
Harry and Meghan were both absent from the annual event which sees a military parade held to celebrate the reigning monarch’s birthday.
The ceremony took place to mark King Charles III’s birthday for the second year in a row at the weekend.
While Prince William and Princess Kate were in attendance, there was no sign of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The move of not attending may well now be something Harry will regret according to the royal expert.
Richard Fitzwilliams told The Sun: “I think when it comes to military matters Harry has always taken an interest,
I think that he does unquestionably view the way the break has occurred with the Royal Family. Which, as I say in my opinion, is the fault of the Sussexes.”
Richard continued: “We know they wanted an apology from the Royal Family for the way they were treated when they were senior working members of it. They certainly won’t get that. But I do think there will be a certain amount of regret.”
The commentator also stressed that the “military has been a very important part” of Harry’s life. He famously carried out two tours of duty in Afghanistan, from 2007 to 2008 and 2012 to 2013. Richard also admitted that he “would have thought it only natural that he would have had a feeling of some regret [not being at Trooping the Colour].”
However, when it comes to Meghan, Richard has a very different view stating that “Meghan would be indifferent to a ceremony like Trooping the Colour quite frankly.” He also confessed to having “no idea whether she would or wouldn’t actually watch it,” and that he doesn’t “think it would mean a great deal to her.”
He noted that “if it had done, she would have managed to carve a position within the Royal Family where she could have been of use.” While Harry and Meghan weren’t invited to Saturday’s Trooping the Colour in London on Saturday, Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, Kate Middleton, Princess Charlotte, Prince George and Prince Louis were all in attendance.
Neither Harry or Meghan were added to the guest list last year either, with that Trooping the Colour serving as the first in King Charles’ reign. It is unclear if Harry and Meghan would have attended had they been invited.
