If Prince Harry has not yet confirmed his arrival in England for the jubilee of Elizabeth II, the Daily Mail reveals this Thursday, May 5, the funny reason why he could miss the event.
From June 2 to 5, Elizabeth II will celebrate her 70th anniversary of reign. Will Prince Harry be present at her side to celebrate her platinum jubilee? Nothing is less sure. Close to his grandmother, the companion of Meghan Markle could well miss the event because of his sporting commitments. According to information from the Daily Mail, of this Thursday, May 5, “he has committed to play a full season of polo in California, during the holiday weekend.” According to Omid Scobie, the author of Finding Freedom, Prince William’s little brother is expected to play in the Folded Hills Pope Challenge from May 9 to 15, the Lisle Nixon Cup from May 20 to 29 and the USPA Horse Athletics Intra-Circuit from June 3 to 19.
If Prince Harry were to skip the Jubilee to participate in a sporting event, it could say a lot about his true intentions towards the Queen. Speaking to The Telegraph, royal writer Angela Levin was blunt: “Harry’s priorities of polo over the Jubilee make it hard to believe that he really cares about his grandmother, whatever excuses he makes. Many people will be relieved that he is staying away, but not the most important person of all: the Queen.”
These reasons that could prevent Harry to participate in the Jubilee of Elizabeth II
If Archie and Lilibet’s father has made it known that he might not attend the event to ensure the safety of his partner and children, the reasons could be quite different. As reported by our colleagues, Prince Harry is no longer officially part of the royal family, he could not go to the balcony of Buckingham to greet the crowd, as is the tradition.
But also because Princes Charles and William would be furious against him since his interview with Oprah Winfrey and the one granted to NBC during his furtive visit to England last April. Finally, the Daily Mail believes that Meghan Markle would not have the courage to confront Kate Middleton after the comments she would have made against her. The former actress would also fear to make again the headlines of the British tabloids. For the moment, neither Buckingham Palace nor Prince Harry have spoken on the subject.
