The Harry and Meghan visit was a damp squib

The Platinum Jubilee weekend was all about the Queen and it proved to be a huge success. There has never been such an outpouring of affection and love for the 70-year reigning Monarch. But there was one negative and sad aspect of the four days. Prince Harry and his Hollywood wife Meghan were such a sideshow that there wasn't even a single photograph of them with their two children out in the public eye. Now the majority of people in this country are probably fed up wth Harry and Meghan and care less about their damp squib of a visit to the UK. But I have to say I feel desperately sorry for Harry. Not that long ago he was a prominent member of the Royal Family and he and his brother William were great knockabout mates. But now he is nothing, or almost nothing. The main photograph of Harry during the Jubilee service at St Pauls was the one where he was positively scowling in the direction of his brother, father and other members of the first-rank family sitting in the front row in the best seats. I know Harry, and especially Meghan, have seriously blotted their royal copybook by speaking out so outrageously to Oprah Winfrey and for all the other things they have said and done which has brought this massive division between them and the rest of the Royal Family. So in most people's eyes they deserve what they are now getting. But I still worry about Harry who has lost, perhaps for ever, that closeness he had with all the royals. It was his and Meghan's choice to step away from their royal roles and move to California but I doubt they can have imagined how disastrous that move would turn out for them and for their two children. No one, it seems, back in Blighty, cares about them. The Jubilee weekend made that absolutely clear and by Sunday late morning they had had enough and got on a plane to go back to California. I suspect Netflix will have got the message and will be drastically reconsidering all future production schemes with them.
