Some lamented their coming to the UK. Since their decision to leave the royal family, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have seen their popularity plummet among royal fans. And the statements of the Sussex couple to Oprah Winfrey – in particular the accusations of racism – did nothing to help that. And yet the Duchess and Duke of Sussex seem in favor with Queen Elizabeth II. While they spent the weekend in the Netherlands for the Invictus Games, Meghan Markle and Harry first stopped at the soon-to-be 96-year-old monarch. And the latter would have even made them an offer hard to refuse.
It is our colleagues from DailyMail which report that the ex-star of Suits and the youngest son of Diana and Prince Charles were invited to appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Obviously the interview of Queen Elizabeth II and her grandson Harry went well. While he confided in his happiness at having been able to see his grandmother in Windsor, as well as his father for a few minutes, he is now invited to the balcony during the most anticipated ceremonies of the year across the Channel. The presence of Harry and Meghan Markle alongside the other members of the royal family could be a strong sign, especially following the heavy accusations made by the Sussex couple against Buckingham.
A dangerous coming
Their arrival, however, did not please the greatest number. Since their departure from the monarchy, almost two years ago, the couple continues to be debated in England. And yet, the parents of Archie and Lilibet Diana have promised the queen that they will be back with their children this time for the jubilee. But already, their detractors see their presence as a danger, fearing that the presence of the Sussexes will make people forget the commemoration of the 70 years of the Queen’s reign. Indeed, all eyes are likely to be on them. This will include in particular the Lilibet Diana’s first visit to the UK. Event.
