Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been completely removed from the royal family’s future plans, with no coffin and no tears shed over their absence.
The couple made a shocking announcement on social media in January 2020, declaring their decision to step back from their royal roles and split their time between the UK and the US.
This move took the late Queen, King Charles, and Prince William by surprise, as they were not consulted beforehand.
Speculation arose among royal experts that Meghan Markle struggled to adapt to royal life due to a lack of understanding and an unwillingness to conform to traditional expectations.
British journalist Tom Bauer suggested in his book “Revenge” that Markle’s refusal to learn the intricacies of royal protocols played a significant role in their decision to distance themselves from their royal duties.
Unlike other members of the royal family, Markle was known for being outspoken and unafraid to express her opinions.
As the royal family prepares to celebrate their first Christmas without Queen Elizabeth, rumors swirl that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will not be part of the festivities.
The palace has hinted that the couple should spend Christmas in Montecito, away from the royal spotlight, to avoid the anticipated backlash from Harry’s upcoming memoir and the couple’s docuseries.
This decision effectively bars them from joining the royal family for the holiday celebrations.
The question on many royal fans’ minds is whether Prince Harry will attend King Charles’ coronation.
Concerns have been raised that if Harry’s memoir and Netflix show target Charles, Camilla, or other royals, their invitation to the coronation may be revoked.
The royal family is reportedly apprehensive about the content of Harry’s memoir, fearing it may contain offensive material that could strain their already fragile relationships.
With the looming publication of Harry’s memoir early next year, there is growing unease within the royal family about the potential fallout from its contents.
The decision to exclude Harry and Meghan from Christmas celebrations has been viewed as a deliberate snub, further exacerbating tensions.
Despite their hopes of returning to the UK in the future, the couple acknowledges that now is not the right time, given the current circumstances.
Royal expert Katie Nicholl noted that while Charles desires Harry and Meghan’s presence at his coronation, there may be restrictions imposed due to the ongoing feud between Harry and Camilla.
Charles has made public gestures of reconciliation towards the Sussexes, but the strained relationships within the family continue to pose challenges.
The uncertainty surrounding Harry’s memoir casts a shadow over any potential reconciliation efforts, leaving the royal family on edge as they navigate the upcoming holidays.
