After stepping down from their roles as working royals, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle complained about how Harry’s family would leak stories to the press. However, the Sussexes have been accused of using that exact playbook by putting out glowing news stories about themselves whenever the royals are marking major milestones or hosting large events in an effort to try and steal the spotlight from the duke’s relatives.

Now with a big royal ceremony taking place, one commentator is sharing how Harry’s wife could try to overshadow Britain’s famous family during Trooping the Colour.

Unfiltered and To Di for Daily podcast host Kinsey Schofield suggested that because the Sussexes have a history of releasing their own news or photos the same day as the royals, Meghan could be planning something big to unveil the day of or right before the Trooping the Colour on June 15.

Schofield said that Meghan and Harry were not invited to King Charles birthday parade. Therefore, she believes the duchess will try and shift attention to herself just like when she decided to announce her new lifestyle brand the same day Prince William presented the Diana Award to 20 recipients in March.

“I would not be surprised if we saw American Rivera Orchard launch a product around Trooping the Colour,” Schofield said per Express. “What a bizarre thing to launch a brand at the height of a royal health crisis then not have anything tangible available for purchase for months. Clearly, the Sussexes have not learned their lesson and are eager to play the PR game that Harry claims to resent so fiercely in Spare.”

So far, the only product Meghan produced for her brand is 50 jars of jam, which she sent to her friends and social media influencers to promote.

The biggest question surrounding this year’s Trooping the Colour parade was whether or not the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) would attend the event or at least make an appearance on the Buckingham Palace balcony.

On June 14, the princess announced that she would attend the Trooping ceremony in an emotional post via social media writing: “I’m looking forward to attending The King’s Birthday Parade this weekend with my family and hope to join a few public engagements over the summer, but equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet.I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body, and allowing myself to take this much needed time to heal. Thank you so much for your continued understanding, and to all of you who have so bravely shared your stories with me.”

Many royal watchers believe Kate’s appearance was a blow to Meghan because anything the duchess planned to announce wouldn’t be the top news story because all of the attention is on her sister-in-law.
