Royal Family Demonstrates Unity as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Face Criticism During Easter: Sussex Plans Met with Family's Disapproval. The royal members stood united during the Easter church service, showing a unified front amid a series of health crises within the family. King Charles and Queen Camilla fulfilled their promise to attend, as announced earlier in the week by Buckingham Palace. Charles, wearing a smile, accompanied by Queen Camilla, shook hands with the crowd gathered outside St. George's Chapel, the final resting place of his late mother, Queen Elizabeth. Some well-wishers expressed concerns for Charles' health, while others greeted him with Easter wishes. Charles graciously acknowledged the crowd's presence, remarking on their bravery for enduring the cold weather. One woman who spoke to the king mentioned that he appeared to be in good spirits.
In addition to Charles and Camilla, other members of the royal family in attendance included Princess Anne and her husband, Sir Timothy Lawrence, as well as Prince Edward and his wife, Sophie, Countess of Wessex. The controversial Prince Andrew also made an appearance, accompanied by his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.
Amidst the family's health challenges, Charles has continued to fulfill his non-public state duties, such as meeting with foreign officials and holding regular meetings with Prime Minister Rishi. However, Prince William, Princess Catherine, and their three children did not join the rest of the royals as expected. Last week, it was revealed that Princess Catherine had been diagnosed with cancer, which put an end to months of speculation and false conspiracy theories surrounding her absence from public life.
The display of unity within the royal family during Easter comes after King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Princess Catherine have consistently shown a united front in the face of adversity. In an interview with GB News, royal expert Lady Colin Campbell suggested that the criticism hurled by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at the royal family has actually brought the king, queen, prince, and princess closer together. Lady Colin Campbell emphasized the newfound sense of unity within the family since Prince Harry and Meghan stepped down from their royal duties four years ago. She stated that all four members function in the best interests of the monarchy and each other, highlighting their familial orientation and love for one another. Despite the health issues and the challenges posed by Harry and Meghan, they remain positive and have grown even closer.
Regarding Prince Charles reconciling with his youngest son, Lady Colin Campbell expressed that even if Charles were inclined to have a private conversation with Harry, an official role for either Harry or Meghan within the royal family is highly unlikely. Lady Colin Campbell explained that they understand the implications of such a role, likening it to "drinking poison from a chalice," which they can easily avoid.
When asked if Harry and Meghan regret their choice to step away from the royal family, Lady Colin Campbell shared her opinion that Meghan is not capable of feeling regret. She pointed out that Meghan's personality type differs from that of someone who learns from their mistakes, and she tends to blame others for her errors. Lady Colin Campbell claimed that Meghan has tried various tactics to absolve herself of responsibility but has become increasingly frustrated because none of her efforts seem to succeed.
In summary, the royal family's Easter gathering showcased their unity despite the challenges they face. The criticism directed at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has further strengthened the bond among King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Princess Catherine. The family remains committed to their duties, while Harry and Meghan's future involvement with the royal family seems unlikely.
