Prince Harry is one of the most popular as well as controversial members of the British Royal family. The tension and discomfort between Harry, his wife Meghan Markle, and the Royals culminated with the two stepping down from royal life in 20202. The two also gave a tell-all interview to Oprah Winfrey in 2021.
Harry has been by the side of his grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II ever since her health started to deteriorate. Her state funeral was held on Monday and was attended by several high-profile individuals. But one thing that caught everyone’s eye was the seating arrangement of Harry and Meghan.

Prince Harry And Meghan Markle’s Seating Arrangement Caught Everyone’s Attention
Harry and Meghan Markle have been treated differently ever since the two stepped down as the royal family members in 2020. This is reflected at the Queen’s funeral.
According to a Page Six report, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex did not join Prince William, Kate Middleton, and other family members who sat in the front row at Westminster Abbey.
The two sat in a corner at the end of the second row right beside Princess Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. King Charles III, Queen Consort Camilla, and Prince and Princess of Wales were seated in the front row. This has mainly to do with them not being the royal family members anymore.
This is not the first instance Harry and Markle are shunned to a corner. The couple wasn’t seen with other royal family members on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. It took place during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebration in June.

King Charles Plans To Cut Off Prince Harry And Prince Andrew As Official Stand-Ins
After being the longest-serving heir apparent in British history, Charles has finally become the king of the United Kingdom. He is planning to make some changes to the Royal house.
The newly appointed King will cut Harry, and Andrew as official stand-ins. “The move would see the Duke of York, the Duke of Sussex, and Princess Beatrice all relieved of their duties as official stand-ins for the sovereign, should he be indisposed,” a report said.
Under the 1937 Regency Act, the spouse of a monarch along with the adults in line can be called up as Counsellors of State on official business. Charles, Prince William, Prince Harry, and Prince Andrew filled these roles when Queen was alive.
Prince Andrew was removed from the position after the allegations of sexual misconduct. “It is believed that the King recognises the incongruity of having a trio of non-working Royals able to step into his shoes if he is abroad or incapacitated,” the source said.
