Meghan Markle, Prince Harry Arrive In UK; Former Working Royals To Attend Trooping The Color?
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry traveled to the United Kingdom from the United States with their two children. The family arrived in England on Wednesday and is now reportedly staying in Frogmore Cottage.
Express UK released a report on the matter, detailing what royal expert Chris Ship had to say. As it happened, he made an update on his official social media accounts on the same day, informing the public about the Sussexes’ return to the country.
The expert noted that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived in their U.K. residence, which is in Windsor. He also stated that this marks the first time for the couple’s youngest child’s to be in the British Royals’ home country.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s return on Wednesday reportedly suggested that they will attend the Trooping the Colour event on Thursday. The expert shared the same thing on his posts, although no details were given.
The same publication pointed out, though, that it remains unclear which events the former working royals will be present at during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations. But, it is said that the pair’s appearances “will be limited to avoid overshadowing” Queen Elizabeth II.
The extended celebrations will begin on June 2 and end on June 5. It is also unknown how long the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will stay in the country.
Following the speculations, People confirmed that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will participate in the Queen’s official birthday parade on Thursday. A spokesperson for the pair released a statement saying that the two personalities are “looking forward” to watching the event.
It also informed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be at the Major General’s Office during the annual Trooping parade. The magazine consequently said that they will be likely with the other members of the British Royal Family, like Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice.
This comes as only official working royals will be with the British Monarch on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. The announcement emerged earlier this month, hours before Prince Harry and Meghan Markle confirmed their return to the United Kingdom.
BBC reported that Queen Elizabeth II is “prominently at the front” in terms of the balcony appearance. Prince Charles, Camilla Parker Bowles, Prince William, and Kate Middleton, meanwhile, will be “around her and never standing far away” during the event.
Some other working royals will also take part in the annual tradition. These include Prince Edward, Sophie, Countess of Wessex, with their children, and Princess Anne, who will be with her husband, Sir Timothy Laurence.
