Prince Harry ‘went home depressed’ about what he has given up: royal expert

A royal expert claims the Duke of Sussex would have felt depressed about what he gave up during his fleeting trip back to the UK.

Prince Harry would have felt depressed about what he gave up when we went home after the Jubilee, a royal expert has said.

And the Duke of Sussex, 37, left the celebrations early with wife Meghan Markle, 40, because they were not centre stage, another added, The Sun reports.

They missed the Platinum Jubilee concert and Pageant during last week’s party for The Queen’s 70 years on the throne.

And the pair jetted back to America an hour before the royals appeared for a final time at the Jubilee.

Vanity Fair’s Kate Nicholl said: “I honestly think it’s because they knew that they wouldn’t be in that front row.

“And why did they leave the Royal Family? They left because they weren’t in the front row.

“I believe that’s why they weren’t at the other celebrations as they did not have centre stage seats.”

Historian Hugo Vickers added: “Harry has given up being Captain of the Royal Marines, who were out in force.”

“I think he must have gone home feeling very depressed for what he has given up.”

And royal biographer Duncan Larcombe said: “Those four days will haunt Prince Harry for the rest of his life.”

“They were relegated to sitting behind the Duke of Gloucester at the Thanksgiving service.

“They didn’t take part in any way, shape or form visibly at the Trooping of the Colour.

“Harry will be fuming about the way he and his family were treated – if it was Prince William and the Royal Family who said, ‘you’re not coming to the royal box’, whilst other minor non-working Royals were at those events.”

Katie added on True Royalty TV’s The Royal Beat: “If you’re going to take one image away from the weekend, it has to be [the one of the Queen and her three heirs standing on the Buckingham Palace balcony].

“A Jubilee isn’t just a moment to reflect on the 70 years, but to look forward to the future.

“The Queen’s message is very clear, this is the future and for the first time in history, we have four generations of royalty.

“It is extraordinary. Also, it was deliberately engineered.

“If you watch the sequence of this, Camilla steps to the side, whilst Kate takes the two youngest children, and leaves the Queen with her three heirs.”

Earlier this week we told how a royal expert thinks Prince Harry wants an apology for the way he was treated.

Angela Levin said: “I think he would have been very, very upset that he was largely ignored.

“He still feels he’s owed an apology.”
