An icy greeting and a process that they were supposed to be annoyed with: The last appointment of Prince Harry (35) and Duchess Meghan (38) in the service of the royal family apparently did not go as the couple had imagined. The appearance at the service for Commonwealth Day in Westminster Abbey should be a worthy farewell.
William and Kate as saviors in need?
According to rumors in the British tabloids, Meghan and Harry would have loved to move into the church with Queen Elizabeth II (93). Instead, they were told that they had to go to their seats alone before other high-ranking members of the royal family appeared, the Daily Mail claims.
The paper continued to speculate that Harry's brother Prince William (37) and his wife, Duchess Kate (38) wanted to defuse the situation and therefore also took a seat to wait for the Queen, Prince Charles (71) and Duchess Camilla (72) . Actually, William and Kate should come to church with them.
Was there a hypothermic greeting?
But the meeting of the two couples also gave rise to speculation. Short recordings of the encounter at Westminster Abbey give the impression of a cold welcome.
Because while Meghan smiled at William and Kate, waved and whispered a "hello" to them like Harry, William had only a short, approving nod for the couple. Then he and his wife sat down in the seats reserved for them – a row in front of Harry and Meghan's. Kate was even subsequently accused by some observers of ignoring Harry and Meghan.
Criticism of post
Royal fans also criticized the event on Instagram, where both William and Kate reported on the event under "kensingtonroyal" and Harry and Meghan under "sussexroyal". While the Cambridges showed pictures of all members of the family, including Meghan and Harry, the Sussexes only have two photos of Harry and Meghan himself.
Below are some nasty comments, such as: "Another photo that only she's in", "Wouldn't it be nice to add a photo of the Queen?" Or: "The difference in the family … Will and Kate post all pictures and these 2 only themselves … sad."
Does that bother Prince Harry and his wife? The Sussexes will no longer make public appearances as members of the British royal family and from now on want to make a living independently. From March 31, they will no longer officially be called "Royal Highness". Her center of life is currently Canada, where her ten-month-old son Archie is waiting for her.
