Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Attendance at Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Sparks Controversy
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's rare appearances at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee have raised eyebrows and sparked criticism.
According to a reporter from DMZ, their presence at the event actually made things worse, as it highlighted the fractures within the royal family.
The American presenters on the show, including host Charles Latibaudier, discussed the couple's visit to the UK for the jubilee.
One reporter went as far as saying that it made the royals look like a very unhappy broken family, while another pondered whether the death of the Queen could lead to the family falling apart.
The reporters pointed out that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may have intended to show support for Harry's grandmother, but their actions seemed to have backfired.
They attended the Thanksgiving service at St. Paul's Cathedral but chose not to attend the reception for the royal family at Guildhall.
Instead, they returned to Frogmore Cottage and celebrated their youngest daughter Lilibet's first birthday at Windsor Castle with the Queen.
Despite the jubilee celebrations continuing for another three days, the couple left immediately after the church service and were even landing back in Santa Barbara while the main party was still ongoing.
This whole ordeal has only reinforced the perception of a deeply divided and unhappy family.
TMZ host Charles Latibaudier highlighted the fact that there were no photographs of Prince Harry with his brother William or his father during the jubilee events.
This absence further fueled speculation about the future of the royal family, especially once the Queen is no longer around.
The co-host expressed sadness at the thought that the family could fall apart without her.
It's worth noting that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's decision to prioritize their daughter's birthday over attending more royal events was a personal choice.
Their absence from the jubilee festivities was not part of any deliberate snub.
However, their actions have once again brought attention to the strained relationship between the couple and the rest of the royal family.
The couple's decision not to attend the reception and return to the US before the Platinum Jubilee Pageant had finished raised questions about their commitment to the monarchy.
Since announcing their decision to step down from their royal roles in March 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have spent limited time in the UK.
This has only added to the perception that they are detached from their royal duties and responsibilities.
In a recent TV special, Meghan defended her choice to speak out against the royal family.
She expressed that she could not remain silent while false narratives were being spread about her and Prince Harry.
The couple's upcoming interview with Oprah Winfrey has further intensified tensions within the royal circle.
Palace insiders are concerned about the potential fallout from the interview and fear that it will only worsen the already strained relationship between the Sussexes and the rest of the family.
Buckingham Palace is currently investigating allegations made against Meghan by former staff members who claim to have been bullied by her.
While some individuals want to move on from the experience, others are reportedly ready to provide evidence against the Duchess.
The investigation, labeled a “calculated smear campaign” by a spokesperson for the Sussexes, adds another layer of complexity to the already complicated dynamics within the royal family.
As the interview is set to air soon, there is speculation about its impact.
Despite Prince Philip's ill health, the screening is expected to proceed as scheduled.
CBS holds the final decision on the matter, and the couple is not involved in determining the air date.
The interview was recorded before the Queen stripped Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of their remaining military, charity, and commonwealth patronages.
It also predates the emergence of ex-staff members coming forward with allegations against Meghan.
The controversy surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's attendance at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee highlights the ongoing tensions within the royal family.
Their actions, or lack thereof, have reignited debates about their commitment to their royal roles and the future of the monarchy.
With the interview looming, it remains to be seen how this latest chapter in the Sussexes' journey will unfold and its impact on the already fragile relationship between the couple and the rest of the royal family.
