Royal analyst Annelise Nielsen claims that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took “deliberate” action during the Jubilee celebrations to avoid “attention”. After more than two years away from the UK, the royal couple returned home in the company of their kids, Prince Archie, 3 and Princess Lilibet, who just turned one.
However, the couple surprised everyone by keeping a low profile throughout their stay in the United Kingdom. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle only made a full public appearance on Friday, June 3rd, 2022, at the Thanksgiving service.
Royal Expert Thinks Harry And Meghan “Didn’t Want To Be Drawing Attention Away From Anything”
Reacting to the couple’s decision to sit out several events over the festivities, the Sky News correspondent said, “I think that was pretty deliberate – that they didn’t want to be drawing attention away from anything. When speaking to people here – the diehard royal fans – a lot of them say that they are disappointed in how Harry and Meghan have conducted their step back from royal life, that they don’t agree with many of their criticisms of the Royal Family.

But they do say … he is the Queen’s grandson and so there should be respect for the monarch and in that instance it does mean her heirs as well.” According to media reports, the royal couple have already touched down in the United States with their kids. Throughout their stay in the UK, Harry and Meghan were never pictured together with Prince William and Kate Middleton, which is a hint that the couples are yet to settle their feud.
However, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex reportedly had a private lunch with the Queen on Thursday, June 2, 2022, after the Trooping the Colour event. The meeting offered the Queen an opportunity to see Lilibet for the very first time since her birth in 2021. The long-awaited return of the Sussexes did not offer as much excitement as many thought it would.
It is clear that the royal couple have a lot of work to do to reclaim the trust and love of Britons after a series of controversies. However, many royal fans believe that Harry will return to the UK fully in the near future. Despite his long-term absence, the Duke is still one of the UK’s four Counsellors of State.
