For the second year in a row since King Charles III came to the throne, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were not invited to the "iconic" Trooping the Colour military parade in London.
"To have the Sussexes anywhere near the royal family at this precarious time when three members of the royal family have significant health issues would not be a very wise thing to do," royal expert Esther Krakue shared.
She added: "It's not surprising at all. And, it's an invitation I suspect the Duke and Duchess would reject because they don’t feel safe here in the U.K."
This insight comes amid recent developments in the Duke of Sussex' ongoing bid to gain taxpayer-funded security when he and/or his family are in Britain. The fifth in line to the throne's team is said to be "optimistic" about a left Labour Party victory in the upcoming U.K. general election on July 4.
His attorneys allegedly feel that new efforts to lobby the government, which theoretically would be led by Keir Starmer as Britain's prime minister, to grant Harry — who along with Meghan, is frequently framed as left-leaning in America — British taxpayer-funded security.
The prince lost his bid to have this protection provided to him and his family in February when a judge ruled against his plea.
This led royal author Tom Quinn to tell an outlet: "As time goes by, Harry misses some aspects of his old life in the U.K. Inevitably, the honeymoon period where everything in the States is new and exciting is coming to an end, and Harry is looking back at the past through rose-tinted spectacles."
The Duke of Sussex eventually changed his primary residence to the State of California after he immigrated to America with Meghan in 2020.
"He misses his Old Etonian and army friends, many of whom have not visited as they don’t get on with Meghan," Quinn observed. "Harry is determined to find his own permanent home in the U.K., which is partly why he’s continuing his legal action to get the British taxpayer to pay for his security."
As The Royal Observer previously reported, both analysts and those near and within palace and Montecito mansion walls are taking a different view of the fiery-haired prince, who turns 40 on September 15.
"He is stuck in the past," a royal insider spilled about the fiery-haired prince and the book. "That memoir is nothing but dwellings on things that sometimes just cannot be changed. All that nonsense about Chelsy Davy, who has long since moved on with her life, that was 15 years ago."
