Prince Harry recalled ‘yawning silence’ that followed Meghan Markle as she made a savage joke after first Trooping the Colour

Trooping The Colour Major Throwback! Prince Harry Recalled How a Savage Joke by Meghan Markle Was Followed by a “Threatening silence”

Out of all the things that the Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/meghan-markle] is known for, the one aspect that
highlighted her during her time in the UK was her outspoken nature and
straightforwardness. There had been quite a few instances where the Duchess had
rubbed feathers with the royal family for going out of the books. Given her
Hollywood lifestyle back in California, the Duchess did not have it easy to fit
in the mold of the royal family and their sophisticated etiquette. In fact,
there were instances where certain remarks by the former actress made the family
uncomfortable. 

In the hype of the King’s ‘Trooping The Colours’, one such instance dates back
to the time when Markle also attended the royal spectacle as a senior member of
the House of Windsor. As reported by Independent
[https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/royal-family/prince-harry-meghan-joke-silence-trooping-the-colour-b2359410.html],
the Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, took to his tell-all memoir, Spare to reveal
what were the consequences of what Markle thought was a mere joke. He reflected
on the year when the couple attended their first Trooping The Colour as
newlyweds.

As they appeared at the famous Buckingham Balcony to witness the regal flypast,
everyone was in high spirits. “Good mood and upbeat” prevailed among the family.
However, the spirits were short-lived as the mood switched soon after Markle
cracked a joke. As the story goes, the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, asked
the Duchess about her first thought about the Trooping The Colour event. To
this, Markle jokingly replied with a one-word answer, “colourfull”. 

The joke made it awkward for the members as Prince Harry wrote, “and a yawning
silence threatened to swallow us all whole.” Nonetheless, he did not expect the
awkward exchange since it was just a few days after the Queen was seen spilling
a hearty laughter with the Duchess.

However, fast-forward to 2023, situations are drastically different at the
current Trooping The Colour occasion. 


ABSENCE OF PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN MARKLE GLARED AT THE TROOPING THE COLOUR

King Charles as he embarked on his first ever Trooping The Colour as the
Monarch. The palace premises basked in the Union colors as the military parade
echoed through the streets. The next-in-line to the throne, Prince William
served his duties as the Colonel of the Welsh Guards. All in all, the Wales
family was seen in high spirits with the other senior members of the royal
family.

However, the King skipped inviting his estranged family to the event. Prince
Harry and Meghan Markle received no invitation for the grand occasion. The last
Sussex appearance for any royal occasion was the King’s coronation. Nonetheless,
it was just Prince Harry alone attending the spectacle. His wife Meghan Markle
stayed back at California with their kids.
