2024 - Elizabeth II's Jubilee: How Meghan tried to get a better seat and how she was stopped by the Queen

Back in England for the jubilee of Elizabeth II, Meghan Markle tried to get better places for her and her husband. But His Majesty dashed his hopes.

In June, Meghan Markle was back in London for the first time since leaving
The Duchess attended a mass at St. Paul’s Cathedral
She did everything to get better places, according to an author

Their reunion was eagerly awaited. At the beginning of last June, Meghan Markle found Elizabeth II for the first time since leaving the British royal family. Along with Prince Harry and her children, Archie and Lilibet, the Duchess of Sussex made the trip to London to attend Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee. But before leaving, she had an idea in mind: to admire the traditional Royal Air Force parade on the balcony where the members of the Crown gather each year. But Elizabeth II showered her hopes. In all, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry only made one and only appearance public, during a service of thanksgiving at Saint Paul’s Cathedral where they were installed very far from the heart of the action.

On that day indeed, the Sussexes were seated next to Princess Eugenie, her husband Jack Brooksbank and Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. Because of their departure from the royal family, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have therefore been installed far from Prince Charles, Camilla Parker Bowles and Prince William and Kate Middleton. Enough to annoy them. According to Tom Bower, the author of the new book Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsorsthe Sussexes tried to sit closer to the most important members of the family. ‘I was told they were supposed to report to Wellington Barracks to get into a vehicle which has been reserved for the littlest members of the Royal Family to travel to St Paul for the Jubilee service’he said.

Meghan Markle: an “order from Elizabeth II” changed her plans

“They arrived late on purpose, so the bus was gone and they were able to make a grand entrance from a car so they could be seen on the steps, which Netflix obviously needed,” added the author, referring to the documentary that the platform has been preparing for months on the Sussexes. According to Tom Bower again, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry would then have asked “six people” to change places to be closer to Elizabeth II. “One person apparently said to them, ‘you can’t, you’re sitting in seats eight or nine’ and Harry said, ‘why?’added the author, very well informed. The man explained to him that it was an order from his grandmother, Elizabeth II. After the service, the Sussexes skipped a lunch at the Guildhall and also skipped the star-studded party at the Palace or the Jubilee Pageant. Vibe…
