Harry and Meghan Left Out as King Bars Them from Trooping the Colour 2024

King Charles of Britain is set to participate in the prestigious Trooping the Colour event on June 15, amid his ongoing cancer treatment, according to reliable sources.

Renowned royal expert, Cameron Walker, made an announcement on his former Twitter account stating that the Ministry of Defence (MOD) has confirmed the King's involvement in the event.

Walker added that despite His Majesty receiving cancer treatment, there has been no official confirmation from the palace regarding his participation.

Interestingly, the Army website has not made any adjustments to this information.

The Ministry of Defence has recently unveiled the specifics of the Trooping the Colour ceremony.

This traditional event, which is overseen by King Charles, will feature a procession along the Mall, with 250 soldiers from the Foot Guards lining the route.

The origins of Trooping the Colour date back to the reign of King Charles II, who ruled from 1660 to 1685.

Sources close to the palace revealed that King Charles has decided not to extend an invitation to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for Trooping the Colour.

Consequently, Prince Harry will be unable to wear military attire and participate in the parade alongside other servicemen.

For the past two years, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been excluded from this event following the passing of the Queen.

Notably, when they returned to the UK in June 2022 for Trooping the Colour, marking Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee, they did not join the royal family members and their children on the balcony for the flypast.

Reports suggest that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are feeling marginalized in King Charles' plans for the monarchy's future.

The King's illness has reportedly sparked deliberations about potential scenarios where the couple could resume their official duties.

Feeling snubbed by the King's exclusion, Harry and Meghan are devastated, especially considering their decision to step back from their royal roles and the subsequent fallout with the institution they rely on for their public personas.

In a separate development, the Ministry of Defence faced criticism for prematurely announcing Princess Catherine's return to royal duties without consulting Kensington Palace.

The official army website disclosed that Princess Catherine would partake in a significant engagement at the parade in London on June 8, following her recent surgery.

Tickets for the event are now available online, preceding the main Trooping the Colour ceremony usually overseen by the monarch.

Despite this announcement, Kensington Palace has yet to confirm Princess Catherine's attendance, emphasizing that it is the responsibility of palace officials, not governmental bodies, to confirm royal appearances.

The unexpected announcement regarding Princess Catherine's participation caused confusion and raised concerns about her health status.

The Princess has been out of the public eye since January when she underwent planned surgery at a private London hospital.

Palace officials had previously stated that she would not resume public duties until after Easter.

Notably, the army's decision to publicize details of her appearance without prior approval from Kensington Palace has added to the media frenzy surrounding the Princess's health condition.
