This was stated by a British newspaper. Presidents and leaders from all over the world will be present at the event.
As Britain prepares to hold an unprecedented state funeral to see off Queen Elizabeth, controversy has been ignited by the presence of Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. According to a British newspaper, the couple “wasn’t invited” to the banquet to be held at Buckingham Palace in honor of the monarch.
This was reported by The Telegraph newspaper, in a story that exploded on Saturday. The event will be organized this Sunday by King Carlos III and Queen Camilla on the eve of the state funeral. Many top leaders are expected to be there who will come to say goodbye to the longest-serving regent of the United Kingdom in its history.
The Telegraph estimates a VIP event of almost 500 people. The American Joe Biden, the French Emmanuel Macron and the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are some of the heads of state who they will arrive in London this weekend to attend the funeral on Monday.
According to reports, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle had apparently initially received an invitation to the event together with the other members of the royal family, but it was later revoked on the grounds that, according to the Palace, the occasion was reserved for royalty “in service”.
Harry and Meghan had decided to give up their royal titles to lead a “normal” life in the United States, where the couple currently resides. In the midst of the duel, the British press had followed with particular attention the moments that the couple shared with the rest of the crown, especially with Prince William and his wife, Kate, Prince and Princess of Wales. The four appeared together to greet mourners last Saturday.
This week, Harry had been given permission to wear his military uniform at the vigil tonight, which will be attended by William and other cousins of the family. Harry, who had served two tours of Afghanistan, had been denied at first the opportunity to wear his military uniform because “he is no longer a member of royalty”.
That’s why he had been in plain clothes for official events, including walking behind his grandmother’s coffin on Wednesday when he was taken to Westminster Hall to rest.
But reports cited by British newspapers claim that Palace officials changed their minds alreadytime he was authorized to wear the uniform while joining his brother and cousins for the vigil around the Queen’s coffin.
On Friday her four children kept a vigil, the eight grandchildren of Queen Elizabeth II will carry out a similar one next to her coffin on Saturday afternoon.
Charles’s children, Prince William and Prince Harry, will attend along with Princess Anne’s children, Zara Tindall and Peter Philips; Prince Andrew’s daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie; and Prince Edward’s two children: Louise Mountbatten-Windsor and James, Viscount Severn.
William, who after the death of his grandmother is now the heir to the throne, will stand at the head of the coffin and Harry at the foot.
