Absence of Sussexes at Ceremony Commemorating Queen’s Death Deemed Beneficial for All
The upcoming one-year anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's passing on September 8 will be marked by a low-key gathering at Balmoral, with the notable absence of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
A Royal expert has expressed that it is in the best interest of all parties involved that the Sussexes refrain from attending the ceremony.
While members of the Royal Family, such as Prince Andrew, are expected to be present at Balmoral to pay their respects on the anniversary, Prince Harry and Meghan will not be in attendance.
According to a source cited by The Sun, there has been no communication with the couple regarding their participation in the event.
Richard Fitzwilliams remarked that had there been official festivities organized, Prince Harry and Meghan would have likely received an invitation.
However, the ongoing rift within the Royal Family, exacerbated by Harry's recent statements during his memoir promotion, has strained relations significantly.
Recent speculations surrounding the activities of the Sussexes have highlighted challenges they are facing.
From losing their Spotify deal to a lack of significant projects from Meghan's new agency, their public approval ratings have dwindled both in the UK and the US.
Their actions, particularly in interviews and Harry's memoir, have eroded trust within the Royal Family.
Fitzwilliams suggested that it might be more suitable for Prince Harry and Meghan to commemorate the Queen's death privately this year, given the current circumstances.
With the couple scheduled to be in Europe during that period for the 2023 Invictus Games launch in Düsseldorf, a visit to the UK seems unlikely.
Coincidentally, Prince Harry's 39th birthday falls on September 15, aligning with their European commitments.
Meanwhile, today marks Meghan's 42nd birthday, with reports indicating her preference for a private celebration.
Public relations expert Maya Riad anticipates a modest and intimate gathering for the occasion.
As the date approaches, it appears that the Sussexes will navigate this sensitive time in their own way, separate from the rest of the Royal Family.
The dynamics within the family continue to evolve, reflecting the complexities and challenges faced by individuals navigating both personal and public expectations.
