Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Criticized for Bringing Children to Queen’s Platinum Jubilee
The upcoming Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II is set to be a historic event, marking her 70 years on the throne.
However, the excitement surrounding the occasion has been dampened by the recent announcement that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will bring their two young children, Archie and Lilibet, to the celebrations.
Royal biographer Angela Levin has criticized the couple's decision to introduce Lilibet to her namesake and great-grandmother, the Queen, during such a busy time.
Speaking to GB News, Levin stated that the Harkles chose the wrong timing to introduce Lilibet to the Queen for the first time.
Levin went on to explain that the Queen will be very heavily in demand during the Jubilee weekend, and having small children who don't know her coming around for tea is just another burden on her.
She suggested that the couple could have chosen a better time to introduce Lilibet to the Queen, and that it was just another chance for them to make more money out of Netflix.

Meanwhile, program host Stephen Dixon suggested that the arrival of the children could be a good icebreaker between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family.
However, Levin disagreed, stating that there is a lot the Queen has to do during that weekend, and having small children around would be another burden on her.
Adding to the controversy, Meghan and Harry did not release any pictures of Archie and Lilibet on their son's third birthday and Mother's Day.
This has led to absurd conspiracy theories, with Meghan's estranged half-sister, Samantha Markle, questioning whether Archie and Lilibet even exist during a recent live interview on LBC.
During the interview, Samantha claimed that some people wonder whether the children really exist, as nobody has seen them full frontal, face on.
She also stated that Meghan's father, Thomas Markle, still has not met his grandchildren, and that the British and American people would want to see them.
Despite Samantha's claims, it is widely accepted that Archie and Lilibet do exist, and the conspiracy theories have been dismissed as absurd.
However, the controversy surrounding the children's existence has added to the criticism of Harry and Meghan's decision to bring them to the Jubilee celebrations.
Royal expert Emmeline Ash tweeted that Lilibet is likely to celebrate her first birthday in the UK during the Platinum Jubilee weekend, and that she will be meeting the Queen for the first time.
This has led to concerns that the children's presence will detract from the celebrations and add an unnecessary burden to the Queen's already busy schedule.
In conclusion, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's decision to bring their children to the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations has been met with criticism and controversy.
While some have suggested that the children's presence could be a good icebreaker, others have criticized the timing of their introduction to the Queen and the burden it could place on her.
Moreover, the conspiracy theories surrounding the children's existence have only added to the controversy surrounding their attendance at the historic event.
