Prince Harry and Meghan Markle won’t do anything to annoy because of Donald Trump, says expert
The royal family welcomed Donald Trump and his wife, Melania Trump, to their UK state visit on September 17. Simultaneously, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly stayed out of making any public appearances. This led to speculation that the couple might have either been snubbed from the event or they intentionally lay low.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told Daily Mail that the Sussexes were wary of stealing the spotlight from the president. The expert said, “I’d be surprised if the Sussexes do anything this week that might annoy.” The source called the royal family’s efforts towards hosting the Trumps “intentionally amazing.” They claimed that it was designed to impress the guests.
Fitzwilliams added that if the Sussexes were to cause a distraction from the event, “it would be not only be outrageous, but it would draw Trump’s eye.” The expert claimed that Trump wouldn’t risk damaging his relationship with the monarch. However, the Sussexes are unsure they can depend on that.
According to the source, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will continue to limit their public presence throughout the royal state visit. Fitzwilliams claimed that the duke knows there may be more to the glitz and any action from the Sussexes is “unlikely.” The expert added, “This is a decision that would be taken because Harry knows serious national issues are being discussed.”
Donald and Melania Trump’s royal state visit made headlines for several reasons. The President reportedly complimented Kate Middleton at the state banquet, calling the Princess of Wales “healthy” and “beautiful.” He also seemingly left Prince Harry out of the speech. This sparked debate on whether it was a deliberate swipe at the duke.
