Queen Elizabeth’s son Prince Andrew, her grandson Harry and his wife Meghan Markle will not join her on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for this year’s Trooping the Colour, royal officials said last week.
“Only those members of the royal family who are currently carrying out official public duties on behalf of the queen” will join her on June 2, a spokesman said.
The decision was made “after careful consideration,” it added.
Now, according to a report from the UK MirrorThe Duke and Duchess of Sussex “didn’t ask” to appear alongside the Queen and other royals on the balcony.
It quoted royal commentator Loni Love as saying: “Firstly, Meghan and Harry asked to come to the Jubilee.
“They didn’t ask to be on the balcony, so I think that’s the point.
“Apparently what Harry and Meghan want to do is make sure their grandchildren get to know the Queen,” the royal expert further said.
