A royal analyst says that even if Meghan Markle does not attend Prince Harry could return to the United Kingdom for Queen Elizabeth II’s birthday celebrations.
As per Page Six, despite the royal family‘s issues, including Queen Elizabeth II’s health issues, Prince Harry has refused to return to the monarchy as one of the successors to the throne to assist them. He returned only for Prince Philip’s funeral and the unveiling of Princess Diana‘s statue.
However, the royal prince may abandon his wife to be with the Queen this time.
Royal writer Richard Palmer described how he expects Prince Harry to return to the UK without Meghan on the Express’ Royal Round-Up.
“I think he needs to stay onboard publicly at least with the Queen. He has been very clear in [distinguishing] between criticism he and Meghan have made of the institution with criticism of the Queen. I think they have avoided criticizing the Queen,” he said, as quoted by Express.
Prince Harry, on the other hand, was recently absent from his grandfather’s Westminster Abbey memorial service. Instead, he elected to go to The Hague for the Invictus Games.
Let’s say the Duke of Sussex decides to return to the United Kingdom. In that case, he might have an issue because, as Queen Elizabeth II’s health deteriorates, only those in the “living room” are permitted to meet her.
In a video for The Telegraph, royal analyst Camilla Tominey stated that more people will come to the Queen rather than her going to them.
“I think we’re going to see more of the Queen in situ, and she might get to where she needs to be in private and then be photographed on the spot,” she explained. “That being said, we had some lovely photographs last week of an audience in her living room. That’s going to be happening more frequently now.”
The 95-year-old Queen is reported to sleep even on important occasions. She is, however, allowed to make exceptions, as she did on March 29 at Prince Philip’s memorial service.
According to Tominey, despite her failing health, Queen Elizabeth II was determined to attend her late husband’s funeral service. Finally, the expert suggested that the Queen’s concerns may be mobility-related rather than health-related.
