Harry and Meghan Markle Fail to Congratulate the Queen on Platinum Jubilee

The Queen celebrated her historic Platinum Jubilee on Sunday, 6 February, marking 70 years on the throne.

While many people congratulated Her Majesty on this remarkable achievement, some notable figures were conspicuously silent.

Harry and Meghan Markle, for instance, have not publicly acknowledged the occasion, which has raised eyebrows among many royal watchers.

Prince Charles, the Queen's son, wrote a heartfelt letter praising his mother's decades of service to the nation, realms, and Commonwealth.

In the message, he expressed his admiration for the Queen's devotion to the welfare of all her people, saying, “The Queen's devotion inspires still greater admiration with each passing year.”

However, no such statement emerged from the Harkle camp, which has sparked controversy.

Meanwhile, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also did not comment publicly on the Queen's statement, but they retweeted the Royal Family's post, which included the Queen's announcement.

They also shared a news story on their joint Instagram account.

This has led some observers to speculate that there may be a rift between the two couples.

One aggrieved Twitter user reacted to Harry and Meghan's lack of public acknowledgement by writing, “Would it have killed them to offer their congratulations for a job well done to Harry Meghan?

Despicable.”

Another took a different angle and said, “About time these two learnt to be silent.

Hope it lasts.”

Meghan's close friend and media ally Omid Scobie has also remained silent, which has only fueled the rumors of a rift.

Meanwhile, new reports are claiming that all the controversies involving Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Prince Andrew are leading the Royal Family to rethink the future of the monarchy.

Royal historian Marlene Koenig stated that the controversies involving Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Prince Andrew may lead to a so-called royal rethink.

Koenig, who has researched the Royal Family for more than 40 years, said, “The loss of Andrew and the loss of Harry and Meghan may have them rethinking things a little bit to see how they do things.”

Koenig also highlighted the modern approach that royals such as Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge have brought to their roles.

She even praised the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge for their works on mental health and the development of early years children.

Koenig said, “Will they move away from the traditional charities?

Things like that.

Which is what the Cambridges are already doing, focusing on issues, so we will see how it goes.”

The royal historian also looked at the roles played by the members of the Royal Family and how they would fit into the future of the monarchy.

Koenig even picked Sophie, Countess of Wessex, as a royal who would have an increasingly significant role going forward.

She shared, “Sophie was already doing things, but now the press has said, oh, here's the Countess of Wessex.

Let's do more about her.

But she's been there.

She's been doing these things.

She's been taking on more and more, even before Harry married Meghan.

So, she's just been this backbone, this stalwart of the British royal family.

Doing what is important but not getting more attention for it, and that's good.”

In conclusion, the Queen's Platinum Jubilee was a momentous occasion that drew congratulations from many people.

However, the silence of Harry and Meghan Markle has raised eyebrows among many royal watchers, leading some to speculate about a rift between the two couples.

Meanwhile, new reports suggest that the controversies involving Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Prince Andrew are leading the Royal Family to rethink the future of the monarchy.
