By simply saying play gb news now back to. Patrick now back to. Patrick well, king charles has given Meghan Markle the best birthday present ever. A massive snub. This moaning, talentless z list actress and her wife harry have not been invited to commemorate the Year Anniversary of our queens death. Now, im not surprised , given how they surprised, given how they reportedly behaved on the day our greatest ever monarch actually died. Apparently, harry kicked off because meghan wasnt allowed to come and pay her final respects as our queen endured her final moments. Look, if she wasnt already on the way out , i if she wasnt already on the way out, i imagine that Meghan Markle storming in is standing over her bed. Would have done the job by the time that hed stopped whinging. Harry had missed the chance to fly with william. Andrew and edward and instead took a private jet like any good eco activist would, those grotesque individuals even caused outrage by filming parts of their Netflix Documentary whilst the queen was ill last summer . They then released it slating the royal family. Harry did his book in which he managed to offend everybody from a poor woman who took his virginity in a field to the taliban, which is quite an achievement. But harry barely showed his face at his fathers coronation im glad that they wont be with the royals to commemorate the life of queen. She was of our dear late queen. She was a beacon of light and hope. She was classy, polite, intelligent , hard working, devoted to duty , patriotic, considered. And , patriotic, considered. And meghan and harry are none of those things. Im glad that king charles didnt extend an invite because that would have given them both the chance to say no. And after everything thats happened, the default position should be to assume that theyve said no to everything from now until end of time, unless until the end of time, unless you hear otherwise, as harry and meghan say, that theyll be commemorating the queens passing in their way, which passing in their own way, which probably involves harry fanning, meghan with a palm tree leaf while she performs some kind of dramatic reading about White Privilege and colonialism , in privilege and colonialism, in which shell have invited the press to protect the events privacy. See, king charles has privacy. See, king charles has booted them out of Frogmore Cottage as well. So they no longer have anywhere to live in the good. Because this is no the uk. Good. Because this is no longer home, it . The longer their home, is it . The anniversary of the queens death is a day to remember somebody who embodies everything great in the world and there is no point diluting that with two people who often embody the very opposite. Gb views is opposite. Gb views is a gbnews. Com. Get those views coming in thick and fast, do you think now king charles was right to snub harry and meghan . Do you think that harry and meghan should proactively should have proactively offered to do think that to come . Do you think that actually best thing actually this is the best thing for everybody all round . Dare i say it as well . Are there even a few there . If you few of you out there . If you are, i want to hear from you who think that maybe charles and william need to keep offering up the branches. A the olive branches. Is it a little bit to have prince little bit rum to have Prince Andrew there and not harry . Well, look , as i was just well, look, as i was just saying, snubbed. That is the saying, snubbed. That is the latest reality check for harry and meghan, apparently. What a birthday present from the king im joined now by royal commentator jennie im joined now by royal commentatorjennie bond to talk commentator jennie bond to talk all about it this. Jennie, thank you very much. Great to have you on the show. Look there is a lot to unpack here. I think about harry and meghan and whether or not this is a proper snub or whether or not the royal family didnt just want to find themselves situation themselves in a situation where they to be said no to. They were open to be said no to. I mean, its quite the birthday present for Meghan Markle. You do make me laugh. Yes. Yes. Yes. Splendid monologue, if i might say. Might say. I think here you pays your money. You take your choice. Some you take your choice. Some sources say that harry and meghan have snubbed the royal family by refusing an open invitation from charles. And todays report says that its the other way round. I dont know who snubbed who or whats going on. What i do know is that if they were to come over here, it would be hashtag mega aukus. It really would be an awkward situation. You have to remember situation. You have to remember the time that harry was up the last time that harry was up at balmoral day of the at balmoral was the day of the queens death. He was the last to arrive. He felt hed been snubbed them by not being allowed be on the same plane allowed to be on the same plane as many the other members as many of the other members of the he was the first to the family. He was the first to leave morning. Leave early in the morning. Things really bad things were clearly really bad there at that particular family reunion, and i have no reason to think theyd be any better at a reunion this september. Yeah , no, exactly. But yeah, no, exactly. But i mean, it just is a visible sign, isnt it . I think if the complete chasm now complete , complete chasm now complete, that chasm between the working members of the royal family and them, and it takes me back to that day , sadly, when our queen that day, sadly, when our queen did pass and that big hoo ha about whether or not meghan was allowed to come, and then harry having to get a private jet. And i just think if youd have cared a bit more for her in her final years anyway. And a final moment is there, maybe you would have had an invite. Had an invite. I dont think youve got a private jet. Actually. Think private jet. Actually. I think he easyjet or something. A he took easyjet or something. A scheduled up balmoral scheduled airline up to balmoral , whereas others went in in , whereas the others went in in a private or queens flight jet. What i think the case here is, is that time can be a great healer. We all know that. We all say time will heal everything. I think in this case its not going to heal. In fact, i think positions have become so entrenched that the rest of family have just moved on. And charles, i accept him a bit from this because hes the dad and he still loves his boy. Obviously but i think certainly between william and harry, there is no going back and its just a fait accompli now that they dont talk, they have no intention of talking the two families go their own ways , and i think their own ways, and i think thats how its going to stay. And is making that more and time is making that more certain. I hope personally that charles somehow now reaches out in that awful american phrase to his son and continues to say he wants to see him because i think thats what a dad has to do. But i dont think harry is making it easy. What about the fact that andrew is going there because some people will be saying, well, hang on a minute. If we were to snub everyone who were to going snub everyone who was in some way disgraced or had helped to contribute towards a dark cloud hanging over the queens final days, then i suppose those air miles, andy, would maybe be somebody who should have missed out. Should have missed out. Yes, but charles has made it obvious that he wants to include his brother in family events. His brother in family events. And this is a family event. And i think it will be quite churlish to exclude Sarah Ferguson , the duchess of york, ferguson, the duchess of york, given that shes just had Breast Cancer and say she cant come. So its become a pattern now. But at family events, andrew and sarah and their two children are ianed sarah and their two children are invited and we have to be pleased about that. Surely mean pleased about that. Surely mean family harmony is better than family harmony is better than family dysfunction , royal family. I really do think that this is a really good way of king charles boosting his popularity because unfortunately, its a hard act to follow. Ive used this analogy before. Usually this analogy before. Usually most things can come back to footballing analogies and following sir Alex Ferguson was always going to be a poisoned chalice for whoever came in. David moyes didnt last particularly long or fare particularly long or fare particularly well. King charles has got the worlds hardest act to follow when it comes to our queen. But i think showing some clear water between him and harry is actually quite a good tactic now to boost him in the polls. Polls. Well, yeah, i think as i say, theyve moved on. Theyve gone away from the toxicity that harry and meghan seem to spread amongst them and theyve just let it go. Im sure theres Great Sadness within the family that thats the case. But this happensin that thats the case. But this happens in families, doesnt it . Ihave happens in families, doesnt it . I have experience of family rifts where that rift will never be healed. And you just get on with life. And i think thats what charles is doing. And, you know, i think its clear that the majority. Well a large proportion of people in this country feel that harry and meghan are probably better where they are. We hope theyre very happy. They are. We hope theyre very happy i they are. We hope theyre very happy. I hope she had a lovely birthday and we hope that they get their lives happily get on with their lives happily ever get on with their lives happily eveyeah, well, well have to yeah, well, well have to see. Well to mean, see. Well have to see. I mean, in the next hour, im going to be playing a weird clip, actually, harry meghan actually, of harry and meghan doing of charity doing some kind of charity giveaway. One of their giveaway. Its one of their first appearances together for quite have first appearances together for quite a have first appearances together for quite a of have first appearances together for quite a of rumours have first appearances together for quite a of rumours which; been a lot of rumours which theyve denied the theyve denied about the strength their relationship, strength of their relationship, ship otherwise.
