Meghan Markle Reacts Within Minutes To Royal Family Snub!
Countdown to stealing that spotlight! In the wake of learning that she and Prince Harry got banned from standing on the balcony, Meghan Markle took only minutes before stealing back the spotlight. And in less than half an hour, the Duchess of Sussex announced that she and the Duke of Sussex would participate in the Platinum Jubilee events, reported the Sun.
However, Meghan carefully did not refer to how she felt after Queen Elizabeth snubbed her. But she turned the spotlight on plans to travel from her California mansion to strut their fame as part of the Platinum Jubilee. And Markle also emphasized that her son Archie and daughter Lilibet will join their parents for the four days of the Jubilee in June.
Because rumors hinted that Meghan and Harry would not attend, the news surprised royal family followers. But the two seemed to have weighed security risks against losing that spotlight. As a result, within 18 minutes of the Queen’s snub, the Duchess and Duke of Sussex issued their statement.
Meghan Markle – Return Marks First Time With Family Since 2020 Exit
Prince Harry’s and Meghan Markle’s visit will mark the first time they arrive in the UK with their children since 2020. But their official statement avoided any references to their exit. And it focused on a positive spin. “Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are excited and honored to attend The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations this June with their children,” read the statement.
However, the Palace revealed the reason for the ban, reported People. And the snub relates to Meghan and Harry stepping down from their royal family duties. As a result, the Palace decided that the Duchess and Duke of Sussex cannot stand on the Buckingham Palace balcony during the Trooping the Color ceremony.
“After careful consideration, the Queen has decided that this year’s traditional Trooping the Color balcony appearance on Thursday 2nd of June will be limited to Her Majesty,” said a Palace rep. In addition, the Queen will allow select relatives. “And those members of the Royal Family who are currently undertaking official public duties on behalf of the Queen,” added the spokesman.
However, that snub means Meghan and Harry got lumped in with another banned family member. In the wake of Prince Andrew’s link to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Andrew also got a balcony ban. No word on how Markle feels about ending up in the same snubbed category as Andrew!

Of, course MM will. That's what she does. She wants to be number 1 they should ban her from UK.
It's a time in the Queen's life that Prince Harry and his wife should take a step back, again. It's not about them, it is about the Queen. Shame on them and Netflix.
Remember, they left the firm and you can't be just half in to suit yourselves. Meghan
and Harry, this is not YOUR SHOW. Please don't turn this into a dog and pony show.
I think those two just need to not return to the UK ever. Can’t stand Meghan. She’s a bully from hell….
That's what narcissists do…wherever and whenever there's a chance for them to steal the spotlight and get attention centered on themselves, that's where they'll turn up, and create chaos. So, you know "Scrambled Megs" will do something to make it all about her. The both of them should be banned from The Jubilee, and banned from the UK. Can't stand them.
I think they should stay home. This is the Queen’s Jubilee and Mm and Harry chose to leave the family, please don’t ruin it for the Queen. Meghan Markle is despicable.
