Prince Harry returned to the United States to live with his pregnant wife Meghan Markle. According to The Mirror, he did not stay in the UK for the 95th birthday of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
According to the sources of the publication, the Duke of Sussex flew away on an American Airlines flight. On Wednesday, April 21, his car was seen near the Montecito mansion, where he lives with his wife and son Archie Harrison. After arrival, Prince Harry is expected to be in quarantine for 10 days.
Prince Harry flew to the UK for the funeral of his grandfather, Prince Philip, and refused to stay for Queen Elizabeth II's birthday, which she celebrates on 21 April. She is expected to celebrate her 95th birthday at Windsor Castle with her loved ones. Since the queen is in mourning for her deceased husband, the traditional blank volley from cannons from the First World War in her honor was canceled. Most likely, in the social networks of Buckingham Palace, contrary to tradition, the Queen's holiday pictures will not appear.
Elizabeth II traditionally does not widely celebrate her birthday in April, since in Great Britain there is a custom to celebrate the so-called official birthday of the monarch on the second Saturday in June. On this day, a solemn parade takes place in honor of the Queen – the holiday of the Carrying out of the Banner.
In January, Prince Harry and his wife, who stepped down as senior royals in early 2020, received an invitation to the Queen's official birthday on June 12. The Duke of Sussex was expected to be in the UK for at least a few weeks, as a monument to his mother, Princess Diana, will be unveiled on July 1.
However, after that, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle gave a scandalous interview to Oprah Winfrey in March, in which they accused an unnamed member of the royal family of racism and stated that Meghan Markle was not allowed to use the help of a psychologist when suicidal thoughts appeared during pregnancy. After that, their relationship with the royal family deteriorated sharply. It is reported that his father, Prince Charles, completely stopped communicating with Prince Harry, and Queen Elizabeth II took the side of her son in their conflict.
