Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are facing the taste of their own medicine six years after exiting from the Royal family.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who were nowhere to be seen as a royal family celebrated King Charles’ official birthday this week, have inflicted upon themselves irreversible damage.

Expert Rebecca Russell writes for Express: “If Harry and Meghan had never pressed the self-destruct button on that fatal day back in January 2020, he could have spent today riding alongside his brother, aunt, and uncle, diligently supporting his father.”

She adds: “Instead, he is left to watch from afar. To see photographs of his elder brother in his scarlet tunic, bearskin cap, positively dripping in honours, there has to be the quietest whisper in his head reminding him of what he is missing.”

“He could have been standing shoulder to shoulder with his family, celebrating the armed forces and being cheered on by the crowds who would surely have a place in their hearts for the once cheeky Harry,” says the expert.
