The impending Balmoral event seems poised to transpire without the
attendance of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, despite an invitation extended by
King Charles III. The traditional family gathering is anticipated to include the
participation of several other royal members, including Prince William, Kate
Middleton, and Queen Camilla.
Yet, the persisting divisions between Harry, Meghan, and the rest of the royal
family have cast uncertainty over their potential presence.
Reports indicate that the past year has been marked by visible challenges for
the Sussexes. A close family friend acknowledged the palpable atmosphere,
suggesting that the state of affairs between them is apparent. The situation
is tinged with sadness, but also a sense of inevitability, given the complex
dynamics of both family and institution.
During the coronation of King Charles in May, Prince Harry was the lone
representative from his family present at the event. However, his swift return
to the United States and his limited interactions with other family members,
including King Charles and his brother Prince William, painted a picture of
strained relationships. Meghan, on the other hand, did not attend the
ceremony, citing her son Archie's birthday as the reason.
Currently residing in Montecito, California, with their children, Archie and
Lilibet, the Sussexes are reportedly embarking on a new chapter. Meghan is
reportedly focused on rejuvenating her Hollywood career, following the
conclusion of her multi-million-dollar podcast deal with Spotify. The couple's
plans include a potential move to Malibu, aligning with their pursuit of
proximity to Beverly Hills and Los Angeles.
