Prince Harry Reveals Meghan Markle’s Surprising Trooping The Colour Remark About Princess Kate
As King Charles and senior members of the Royal Family gathered for Trooping The Colour, a memorable story involving Meghan Markle and Princess Kate resurfaced and quickly caught the attention of royal fans. The incident was originally revealed by Prince Harry in his best selling memoir and continues to spark discussion years later.
Trooping The Colour remains one of the most important events in the royal calendar. The annual celebration brings together working members of the monarchy to mark the official birthday of the reigning sovereign and showcase royal unity.
This year’s event saw King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, Princess Kate and other senior royals appear before the public. The occasion once again highlighted the monarch’s vision for a streamlined working Royal Family.
While the celebrations unfolded in London, attention also turned to a story from Meghan Markle’s first experience at Trooping The Colour in 2018. The event took place just weeks after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex celebrated their royal wedding.
According to Prince Harry’s account in Spare, the atmosphere among family members was positive and welcoming throughout the day. He described the mood as upbeat as the newly married couple adjusted to royal life.
However, one brief exchange between Meghan Markle and Princess Kate stood out enough to earn a place in Harry’s memoir. The conversation occurred during Meghan’s debut appearance at the historic royal event.
Harry recalled that Princess Kate asked Meghan what she thought about her first Trooping The Colour experience. The question appeared straightforward, but Meghan’s response reportedly surprised those around her.
According to the Duke of Sussex, Meghan replied with a playful joke. Her answer was a simple one word response as she reportedly described the event as “Colourful.”
Prince Harry wrote that an awkward silence followed the remark. In his memoir, he suggested the pause was noticeable enough to leave a lasting impression on him.
The story has resurfaced as discussions surrounding Trooping The Colour continue to dominate royal headlines. Many royal watchers have revisited the anecdote while comparing Meghan’s early royal experiences with the current state of relations within the family.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex did not attend this year’s celebrations and have not been present at the event in recent years. Since stepping back from royal duties, their appearances at major royal occasions have become increasingly rare.
Buckingham Palace has continued limiting the famous balcony appearance to working members of the Royal Family. The decision aligns with King Charles’s long standing goal of maintaining a smaller and more focused monarchy.
As a result, the balcony has become a symbol of the monarch’s streamlined royal vision. Senior royals carrying out official duties now take centre stage during the highly anticipated public moment.
Although Prince Harry and Meghan Markle remain absent from Trooping The Colour, stories from their time as working royals continue to attract attention. The resurfaced exchange with Princess Kate serves as another reminder of how even brief royal moments can continue generating headlines years after they first occurred.
