If the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had not resigned in March 2020, they and their three-year-old children, Archie, and one-year-old Lillibet, would have shared the spotlight with Cambridge.
But their departure to the United States means they are no longer considered royalty in the front row, as witnessed when they took the back seat of both Trooping and Friday’s Thanksgiving service at St. Paul’s Cathedral.
Also absent from the party on Saturday night at the palace and Sunday’s competition, Harry and Megan were thrown out by the children in Cambridge (William’s brother is now sixth in the throne line) and thrown out of their own behavior.
It is no coincidence that this weekend there was no interaction between the once close royal brothers. Oprah Winfrey’s candid interview with the Sussex family, in which they accused the royal family of racism, is still considered to have crossed the line – not least when there is still no acknowledgment of his pain, let alone an apology.
As one aide said at the beginning of the four-day celebrations: “The media may try to highlight them, but in reality they will not play an important role. A line has been drawn. ”
On the contrary, Cambridge could not be more noticeable – a deliberate development, which was designed not only by Kensington Palace, but also under the close supervision of the 96-year-old monarch.
Carrying out their first official royal engagement with their children in Cardiff on Saturday, William and Kate sent a clear message with the Queen’s blessing – we are the future.
And that’s not to disrespect the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, who became close to Cambridge after Megxit, as demonstrated by the warmth between couples in St. Paul’s when Charles blew Kate’s tender kiss before the royal procession and the touching moment during the competition when Prince Louis sat on his grandfather’s lap.
It is simply a matter of reassuring the public that there is not one but three generations of monarchies determined to continue the Queen’s glorious legacy.
