Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will not be attending the Trooping the Color ceremony on June 2, 2023. The couple have not been invited to join the royal family on the Buckingham Palace balcony for the traditional flypast.
There are a few reasons for this. First, Meghan and Harry are no longer working royals. They stepped down from their royal duties in 2020 and moved to the United States. As a result, they are no longer entitled to the same privileges as working royals, including being invited to join the family on the balcony for Trooping the Color.
Second, there are concerns about security. Meghan and Harry have been the target of a lot of negative press in recent months, and there are concerns that their presence at Trooping the Color could lead to protests or other disruptions.
Third, there is a desire to keep the focus on King Charles III and his family. This is the first Trooping the Color ceremony since Charles became king, and the royal family wants to make sure that the day is all about him.
Despite not being invited to join the royal family on the balcony, Meghan and Harry will still be in London for Trooping the Colour. They are expected to attend a service of thanksgiving at St. Paul’s Cathedral on June 3, 2023.
It is unclear how Meghan and Harry will react to their absence from the balcony. It is possible that they will be disappointed, but it is also possible that they understand the reasons for their exclusion.
The royal family has faced a lot of challenges in recent years, and the decision to exclude Meghan and Harry from the balcony is just one of the many difficult decisions that they have had to make. It is important to remember that the royal family is a family, and like all families, they will have their ups and downs.
