Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were overlooked by former President Barack Obama when it came to celebrating his recent birthday.
Prince Harry And Meghan Markle ‘Haven’t Got Over’ Former President Barack Obama’s Failure To Invite Them To His Birthday Party
And that is going to be a bitter pill to swallow going forward. That is according to Royal expert Angela Levin. The former President was known for being very close to the monarchy, as shown by the numerous state visits he had made to the UK during his presidency.
But given that the couple have left the Royal family, in addition to giving their controversial interview on CBS, it seems the Obamas were trying to distance themselves from any controversy.
In an interview with TalkRADIO, the show’s host said: “The only friends they do have or that they count as friends are all the people who got invited to Barack Obama’s 60th birthday party,” to which Angela replied: “That’s right.
“I’m sure they haven’t got over that and won’t for many years.” Some of the stars who attended the party included Oprah Winfrey herself. Naturally, given that she had conducted the interview, there is no doubt that she discussed the couple with the Obamas.
Having said all that, not everyone has been worried by the snub. Another Royal commentator, Omid Scobie, has played down their absence from the celebration. Instead, Omid has stressed that the couple are firmly focused on their own projects going forward.
After all, they have various deals with Netflix to consider, to a name a few ventures. That is why they are looking after things at home first. In an interview with Good Morning America, Omid stated: “One of the lessons learned by the couple was it’s ok to slow down.
“We saw them jump from one big project to the next, especially when they moved over to the US, but they’re on parental leave at the moment, enjoying that important family time from home.”
Time will tell whether other big names will snub the couple from their events going forward. But one thing for sure is that Harry and Meghan will continue regardless of what people think. And that, at the very least, should be applauded.
