Rod Stewart Disappointed by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Treatment of the Queen

Renowned musician Rod Stewart expressed his disappointment towards Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for their treatment of the Queen before their unexpected departure from the royal family.

The iconic singer's sentiments were revealed following his performance at the Platinum Party at the Palace on Saturday, as part of the extensive Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Stewart's appearance at the pop concert outside Buckingham Palace captivated royal enthusiasts, with his rendition of “Sweet Caroline” chosen by the BBC Radio 2 audience as a tribute to Her Majesty.

Despite the audience's choice, Stewart humorously disclosed that the song was not his preferred selection, stating, “This isn't a fun one to sing but the BBC made me sing it.

Make it fun for me.”

The performance was well-received by the distinguished guests in attendance, including Prince William and young Prince George, who were seen enthusiastically singing along.

Additionally, Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, showed their support by waving Union Jack flags during the musical spectacle.

Among the notable royal figures present at the star-studded event were Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Moppelli-Mozzi, Zara and Mike Tindall, as well as Princess Anne and Sir Timothy Lawrence.

However, conspicuously absent from the festivities were Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who opted to spend the day privately.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were notably celebrating their daughter Lilibet Diana's first birthday, hosting a private party in her honor.

Prior to their absence at the Platinum Party, Harry and Meghan made a public appearance at St Paul's Cathedral for a service of thanksgiving for the Queen.

The couple's presence elicited mixed reactions from onlookers, with cheers and boos greeting them upon their arrival.

Rod Stewart had previously criticized the couple for their decision to skip Christmas at Sandringham, emphasizing the importance of spending time with family during the holiday season.

Following their departure from the royal family in 2020, Harry and Meghan chose to spend Christmas in Canada with Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland.

The couple's decision sparked debate and speculation regarding their commitment to royal traditions and obligations.

Despite concerns that their return for the Queen's Jubilee might overshadow the monarch's achievements, it was confirmed that the couple would not be filming for a documentary series during the event.

As the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations culminated, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle swiftly departed the UK, returning to their residence in Los Angeles.

The couple, accompanied by their children Archie and Lilibet, left Frogmore Cottage before departing from Farnborough Airport.

Reports indicated that the trip cost approximately £160,000, although the source of funding remains undisclosed.

Amidst speculations about Harry's adjustment to his revised royal role and observations of perceived tensions within the royal family, the Sussexes' departure marked another chapter in their evolving relationship with the British monarchy.
