Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were labelled ‘old news’ by a royal commentator who claims nobody has missed them.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were brutally savaged by a royal commentator who said nobody was going to miss their absence today on the Buckingham Palace balcony at Trooping the Colour, as they are “old news”.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex did not attend today’s official birthday celebrations for King Charles.
Harry and Meghan, who currently reside in Montecito, California, along with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, have not been invited to Trooping the Color since 2022.
That year, the ceremony coincided with the late Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, however, the Sussexes did not join the rest of the Royal Family on on the Buckingham Palace balcony.
The couple first attended the annual celebrations in 2018 and also showed up for the 2019 event but in 2020 and 2021, the ceremony was scaled down without any large gatherings taking place due to the pandemic.
Now royal commentator Kinsey Schofield discussed the couple’s declining influence as royals and their absence from this year’s King’s Birthday parade.
She told TalkTV: “They [Harry and Meghan] will not be missed [at Trooping the Color.
It will look gorgeous, it will look glamorous, we’re all going to cheer on the Royal Family and nobody is going to notice that these two aren’t on the balcony, they’re old news.
Ms Schofield added that it’s hard for Harry and Meghan to monetise their brand without their royal links.
She explained: “And I think that that’s going to crush them. It is hard for them to continue to sell commercially without this access to the Royal Family.
“Because that’s why Netflix said ‘green light’, that’s why Spotify said ‘let’s go’ and ‘we’re going to let you go’ when they realised the limited access Harry and Meghan had to the Royal Family.”
It comes as the duke’s relationship with the royals has been labelled “frostier than ever” after he failed to meet with King Charles during his recent trip back to the UK in May for an anniversary event for the Invictus Games.
The Montecito couple have been estranged from the Firm ever since they quit their duties and moved to the US in 2020.
