Prince Harry handed sad reality check: ‘He can only watch people move on without him’

Ever since Prince Harry stepped away from royal life with his wife Meghan Markle and then-infant Archie, people have been calling him out for missing significant family milestones, the most recent of which is the Trooping off the Color.

Royal editor Svar Nanan-Sen was the one who made the inferences this time around and wrote for GB News “The slimmed-down version of the monarchy that King Charles wanted was clear to see on the balcony of the royal residence.”

“There was no place for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.”

It echoed similar energy as the Sussex departure because “six and a half years on from the Sussexes walking away from the monarchy, there is no noticeable void left behind which needs to be filled.”

All in all, for all intents and purposes the writer noted, “The Royal Family has adapted. The slimmed-down monarchy is performing brilliantly, just as King Charles would have hoped.”

However, that is not where the expert ended, instead he made a comparison between Prince Harry’s whereabouts on the day of the Trooping of the Colour and said “spectating from the sidelines is now the only role left for Harry during Trooping the Colour, one of the most important events in the royal calendar. The prince may well be happy with the choice he made in 2020 and the life he has in California, but there must also be a part of him that feels upset by missing Trooping the Colour, a ceremony that was part of his life for three decades.”

Before concluding he even made sure to double down, turn up the dial and once again say something to the effect of, “the Duke of Sussex has never been part of a King’s Birthday Parade, with all his appearances at Trooping the Colour coming during Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. Prince Harry may never get the opportunity to celebrate his father’s official birthday publicly alongside the Royal Family, as no progress has been made towards his reconciliation with senior members of the monarchy. So, Harry will have to continue watching from afar as the Royal Family moves on, without him.”
