Royal Family News: Prince Andrew, Harry And Meghan Markle “Ordered To Disappear”

British royal family news shows that experts are weighing in on Queen Elizabeth’s decision to ban Prince Andrew from the Buckingham Palace balcony during her Platinum Jubilee celebrations and the verdict is not pretty. In fact, the consensus is that her rejection of Andrew (plus Harry and Meghan) shows that he is persona non grata who has no viable way back to life as a reputable royal.

Andrew, together with disgraced family members Harry and Meghan, may (or may not) be seen at other events during the celebration weekend. But the outright ban from being on the balcony with the rest of the family represents, “a powerful symbolic snub.”

According to the Daily Mail, “The balcony appearance during the RAF flypast is a traditional staple of Trooping the Colour in particular – which this year will serve as the spectacular start to a long weekend to mark the Queen’s 70 years on the throne.”

Royal author Richard Fitzwilliams told MailOnline, “Andrew must surely realize that there is absolutely no way back for him. This clarifies matters, and it was essential to do so as his involvement in any event is so damaging for the reputation of the Royal Family.”

Royal author Tom Bower agreed, saying Andrew had been, “ordered to disappear.”
