“Milking their ‘Duke and Duchess’ titles for all their worth, the Montecito grifters have just completed a Down Under ‘royal tour’ by any other name,” said Jane Moore, commenting on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s recent activities.
The British Royal Family gathered at Buckingham Palace on April 21, 2026. They celebrated what would have been Queen Elizabeth II’s 100th birthday. This occasion marked a significant moment for the family.
King Charles III, the current reigning monarch, led the event. Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Princess Catherine were also present. The family reflected on their late matriarch’s legacy.
Jane Moore further remarked, “Remember when our late Queen — who would have been 100 this week — told Harry and Meghan that they couldn’t be ‘half-in, half-out’ members of the Royal Family?” Her words echoed in the context of ongoing discussions about royal duties.
Prince Harry explained his recent trip as an effort “to remind people at home and around the world what Ukraine is facing.” His involvement in global issues contrasts with his past royal duties.
Princess Anne has been notably active. In 2024, she attended 457 engagements, earning her multiple titles as the hardest-working royal. Meanwhile, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, is the oldest working royal at age 90.
Queen Camilla has served as a working royal since 2005. Prince William has dedicated his entire adult life to royal duties. Princess Catherine joined the ranks of working royals in 2011.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back from official duties in 2020, a move that continues to shape perceptions of their roles within the family. Their absence was felt during this significant gathering.
The British Royal Family remains a blend of working and non-working royals. Specific duties are assigned to those who are active in public service.
As they honored Queen Elizabeth II’s memory, family dynamics remained complex. Yet, they united for this important milestone in history.
