Royal members united against Harry and Meghan at Easter Sussex's plan were devastated by the family's scorn.
The royals put on a united front while attending the Easter church service on Sunday, following a string of health crises for the family. King Charles and Queen Camilla made an appearance, as promised by Buckingham Palace earlier in the week.
A smiling Charles, accompanied by Queen Camilla, shook hands with scores of people gathered outside St. George's Chapel, the resting place of his late mother, Queen Elizabeth. Some onlookers wished Charles good health, while others extended Easter greetings. The king expressed admiration for those braving the cold weather, saying, "You're very brave to stand out here in the cold." A woman who spoke to the king remarked on his apparent wellness.
Other royals in attendance included Princess Anne and her husband, Sir Timothy Lawrence, as well as Prince Edward and his wife, Sophie, Countess of Wessex. The disgraced Prince Andrew also made an appearance alongside his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson. Despite the challenges, Charles has maintained his non-public state duties, such as greeting foreign officials and holding regular meetings with Prime Minister Rishi.
Prince William, Princess Catherine, and their three children did not join the rest of the royals as expected. Last week, Princess Catherine shared her cancer diagnosis after months of endless speculation and false conspiracy theories circulating about her absence from public life.
The Royal Union at Easter occurred as King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Princess Catherine continued to display a united front against adversity. Speaking to GB News, royal expert Lady Colin Campbell noted a newfound sense of unity within the royal family, particularly since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ended their duties four years ago. The criticism from Harry and Meghan has, ironically, brought the king, queen, and the Prince and Princess of Wales closer together.
Regarding potential reconciliation with his youngest son, Lady Campbell suggested that even if Charles were inclined to privately reconcile with Harry, there would be reluctance to offer an official role to either Harry or Meghan. Such a move would be perceived as detrimental to the monarchy's interests.
When asked if Harry and Meghan regret their decision to step away from the royals, Lady Campbell opined that Meghan's personality type may preclude her from feeling regret. Unlike Kate, Meghan tends to deflect responsibility for her actions and blames others for her mistakes. Despite her efforts, she reportedly finds herself frustrated by the situation, as her endeavors fail to yield desired outcomes.
