Royal expert Neil Sean has revealed that Prince Harry appeared deeply unhappy during his only public appearance at the Platinum Jubilee since returning.
According to Mr. Sean, Harry seemed to be missing the grandeur and formality of royal life, expressing discontent with his current situation in California.
Speaking to Fox News, Mr. Sean noted that the pageantry and spotlight of the event served as a poignant reminder of what Harry had left behind.
Harry and Meghan made a rare public appearance at the Thanksgiving service at St. Paul’s Cathedral, where they were met with audible boos as they left.
In contrast, Prince William and Kate Middleton received enthusiastic cheers from the crowd, underscoring the differing receptions the two couples received.
Mr. Sean, who was present at the event, emphasized that Harry’s demeanor suggested a deep sense of unhappiness and longing for his previous life.
The royal expert speculated that Harry’s return to the UK for the Jubilee highlighted the sacrifices he had made, particularly in terms of his military background, which he is passionate about.
Despite his previous claims of feeling trapped in royal life, Harry’s eagerness to reclaim the limelight upon his return raised eyebrows within royal circles.
The prospect of facing legal battles, media scrutiny, and failed business ventures upon their return to the US may further compound Harry and Meghan’s challenges.
Following the negative reception at St. Paul’s Cathedral, the couple declined an invitation to a reception at Guildhall, opting to skip the event altogether.
In a separate video, Mr. Sean suggested that Meghan felt vindicated by the booing, viewing it as confirmation of her decision to leave the UK.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex maintained a low profile throughout the Jubilee celebrations, with efforts made to prevent any uncomfortable encounters between Harry and his family members.
As the Jubilee festivities concluded, Harry and Meghan departed for America, marking the end of their brief visit to the UK.
Their subdued participation in the events, including hosting a private celebration for their daughter Lilibet‘s birthday, underscored their limited engagement with the official proceedings.
Despite being absent from the grand celebrations, the couple reportedly spent time with the Queen at Windsor before returning to California.
The Queen, who demonstrated resilience in overcoming mobility challenges, personally greeted well-wishers at Buckingham Palace alongside her heirs.
The absence of the Sussexes from prominent roles during the Jubilee further highlighted the complexities within the royal family.
While Harry and Meghan’s return to the UK garnered attention, their interactions and departures underscored the ongoing dynamics within the monarchy as it navigates the future.
