Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have found themselves in a heated spat with the Queen after their names were bluntly struck off the guest list.
Their decision to return to the UK for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations has stirred up quite a buzz, with a royal expert shedding light on the real motive behind their visit.
The couple, who famously stepped down as senior working royals back in 2020, recently announced their plans to travel from their California home to partake in the festivities scheduled for the first week of June.
Accompanying them will be their children, 3-year-old Archie and 11-month-old Lilibet, marking the Queen's first encounter with baby Lilibet since her birth last June.
News of their impending return broke shortly after it was revealed that they would not be gracing the Buckingham Palace balcony during the Trooping the Colour event, a privilege reserved for working royals.
Despite this exclusion, royal author and broadcaster Hugo Vickers suggests that their attendance at the celebrations serves a strategic purpose – maintaining their royal brand.
Vickers expressed his views on True Royalty TV's The Royal Beat, highlighting the significance of branding in Harry's case.
He emphasized how distancing himself from the royal family could potentially dilute his marketability, transforming him into an ordinary figure in jeans and a backpack, far removed from the regal image he once embodied.
Adding to the discourse, Russell Myers, royal editor of The Mirror, chimed in, speculating that the Sussexes might have harbored a desire to stand on the iconic balcony.
He underscored the importance of their visibility during such momentous occasions to sustain their relevance, especially amidst recent challenges they have been facing.
Amidst these speculations, concerns have surfaced regarding Prince William's apprehension about Harry's presence at the upcoming Jubilee celebrations.
Reports suggest that William is wary that private conversations between them could be leaked, potentially jeopardizing the family's privacy.
Moreover, there have been murmurs about a Netflix film crew shadowing the Sussexes being barred from capturing the events, hinting at underlying tensions within the royal circle.
The delicate nature of interactions between the brothers at the Jubilee has raised valid concerns about potential disclosures on Harry and Meghan's show.
In a twist of events, a close friend of the couple revealed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle deliberately chose not to grace the Queen's balcony during the Trooping the Colour event.
Omid Scobie, a trusted confidant and royal author, debunked claims of a snub, asserting that the Sussexes voluntarily opted out of the ceremonial moment, deeming it unsuitable given their altered status.
Scobie's insights, shared on Yahoo News, shed light on the couple's rationale for skipping the balcony appearance while affirming their eagerness to partake in the jubilee celebrations on June 3.
Since relinquishing their roles as senior royals in 2020 and relocating to the US, the Sussexes have navigated a tumultuous journey marked by controversies and public scrutiny.
Their decision to step back from royal duties sparked widespread debate, culminating in a candid interview with Oprah Winfrey where Meghan made startling allegations of racism within the royal household.
