Prince Harry’s Anger Evident at Queen’s Platinum Jubilee
Prince Harry is reportedly seething over his treatment during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, according to a prominent royal expert.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made a public appearance alongside other members of the royal family at the National Service of Thanksgiving at St. Paul's Cathedral in London on Friday, June 3.
Angela Levin, the author of a biography on Prince Harry, observed that Harry's emotions were writ large on his face that day, displaying an unmistakable fury.
Speculating on his possible thoughts, Levin suggested that Harry might have been grappling with feelings of regret or nostalgia for what he had left behind.
Despite being present at the Queen's birthday parade, trooping the colour, Harry and Meghan notably did not join the working royals on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
This marked their first public appearance with the Windsors since stepping down as senior royals in 2020.
The couple opted for a low-key approach throughout the Jubilee weekend, skipping a star-studded concert at Buckingham Palace on Saturday, June 4.
Their spokesperson cited the private celebration of their daughter Lilibet's first birthday as the reason for their absence.
While enjoying a private picnic at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor with family friend and photographer Misson Harriman, who captured images of Lilibet, Harry and Meghan maintained a low profile during the Jubilee festivities.
Sky News Australia's foreign correspondent Annalise Nielsen remarked on the couple's apparent detachment from the senior royals, noting their limited involvement in the celebrations.
Lady Colin Campbell further commented that Harry and Meghan's avoidance of a Guildhall reception indicated concerns about their perceived status as third-tier royals.
Meanwhile, the trial of individuals accused of making derogatory remarks about the Sussexes, including describing their son Archie in a hateful manner, is set to continue.
Prince Harry's demeanor upon returning to the U.S. following the Jubilee visit was described as somber by an expert.
His early departure from the U.K. just before the conclusion of the Jubilee festivities was followed by a visible display of sadness as he was spotted in California.
Body language expert Judy James noted Harry's reflective and downcast expressions, suggesting inner turmoil.
Harry and Meghan's singular public appearance at the Jubilee Thanksgiving service at St. Paul's Cathedral highlighted their subdued presence amidst the royal family.
James remarked on the couple's efforts to maintain composure despite underlying signs of anxiety, particularly evident in Harry's body language.
Transitioning from a prominent figure to a more peripheral role within the royal family may have been a source of distress for Harry, hinting at a potential return to the U.K. in the future.
