Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle once had a silence so awkward during the Duchess of Sussex\u2019s first appearance at Trooping the Colour, that it “threatened to swallow us whole,” according to Prince Harry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Harry wrote in his memoir “Spare” that he and Markle returned from their Mediterranean honeymoon in 2018 “just in time for the official June celebration of Granny\u2019s birthday.”<\/p>\n

He added that Trooping the Colour was one of their first public appearances as a married couple following their May 19, 2018, wedding.<\/p>\n

“Everyone present was in a good mood, upbeat,” he wrote. “But then: Kate asked Meg<\/a> what she thought of her first Trooping the Colour.”<\/p>\n

The Duke of Sussex wrote that Markle joked the celebration was “Colourful.”<\/p>\n

“And a yawning silence threatened to swallow us all whole,” he said.<\/p>\n

The 41-year-old didn\u2019t elaborate in the book about the moment, only writing that days later Markle went on her first royal trip with Queen Elizabeth II<\/a> and they “got on famously.”<\/p>\n

Later that month, he said the four of them attempted to clear the air about the tensions between them.<\/p>\n

Harry wrote that along with Middleton thinking Markle had wanted her fashion contacts and friction over bridesmaids\u2019 dresses at the Sussexes\u2019 wedding, Middleton and Prince William<\/a> were also miffed that Markle and Harry hadn\u2019t given them Easter presents.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And Middleton told Markle she owed her an apology for talking about her hormones as “baby brain” while the princess was pregnant.<\/p>\n

He said he and Markle also told them they were irritated that William and Middleton had switched seats at their wedding.<\/p>\n

“None of this airing of grievances was doing any good,” Harry wrote. “We weren\u2019t getting anywhere.”<\/p>\n

Harry and Markle last took part in Trooping the Colour in 2019 before the couple left England<\/a> at the beginning of 2020.<\/p>\n

The couple last watched the parade in 2022 during the queen\u2019s platinum jubilee from a side window of Buckingham Palace and didn\u2019t appear on the balcony with the senior royals or take part in the parade.<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s Trooping the Colour got underway with Charles and Queen Camilla<\/a>, William and Middleton and their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis riding in carriages or on horseback in the annual parade.<\/p>\n

Harry and Markle, who remained at their home in California on Saturday<\/a>, were once again not invited.<\/p>\n

As Trooping the Colour kicked off in London, Harry made a video appearance at an Invictus event in Germany<\/a> Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

The 41-year-old spoke remotely at the opening day of the Invictus Germany Sports Festival in D\u00fcsseldorf, Germany, which is related to the wounded service member<\/a> and veteran sports competition he created in 2014.<\/p>\n

Harry told the contestants it was an “honor” to send his message as the contestants gather for “another Invictus sporting title,” according to a story shared on Instagram by the Invictus Games.<\/p>\n

“Germany is setting a powerful example of what it means to honor service with dignity and enduring commitment,”\u00a0he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
