Here’s Why Prince Harry Won’t Be On The Balcony At The Queen’s Jubilee

NBC News royal commentator Daisy McAndrew joins TODAY to discuss Queen Elizabeth’s decision to limit Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s public access at the Platinum Jubilee celebration. “We know that they would have been welcome on the balcony, but what would have been unwelcome is the idea that all eyes would have been on them,” she says.

This woman does not speak for many of us. They are beyond redemption.

[carolineaxelsson]

As polite as one would like to be l believe the British public in general doesn't want H&M back.

[lizwint-swaby]

Sorry love the British people will not going to forgive them so easily after saying the British is racist no no no noway

[viviennemargaretprescott]

I don't believe for one moment that the public at large are so excited to see their children, they have so much more to think and worry about!

[jahnavisingh]

surely these two ladies aren't that clueless? no one would tolerate them on the balcony, the public aren't gonna love them(him) again and literally no one is interested in the kids. it's only about the queen and the people who serve her and the country with dedication

[lystein]

let me share with you my experince of being a minority in Britain. My Grandparents came to this amazing country after the horrors of the holocaust. Here they were given a chance to raise a family, make a living, buy a house, get free healthcare, free education, religious freedom and more, even though they were very visibly Jewish. I grew up in the 1970's and 80's in London in an all inclusive society, I remember many a bank holiday when all the children of the neigbourhood came out to play together despite our cultural and religious differences. Here we were English, Jewish, African, Asian etc. children playing badminton or football in unison. that is why I was personally insulted with H&M's Oprah interview and behaviour for the past year. The UK I grew up in was all inclusive-(and I'm a minority here). Equal oppurtunities, equal education equal everything if you choose to do so and you dont whine about being treated unfairly when it happens occasionaly, I know all is not perfect but as a whole this country is wonderful to live in. so please leave us in the UK alone. We dont want them back not now and not ever
thank you

[elizabethdevries]

I do NOT want them at her celebrations! Absolutely do not.

[raelenekeegan]

The British public will never forgive them and deservedly so. They have well and truly burnt their.bridges

[meemoeswitandwisdom]

The British Public plans to boo and throw tomatoes...
This lady is way off base...they are extremely disliked!

[redwoods]

Because the Queen and the palace advisors want the Jubilee to be about the Queen and the people of Great Britain and not about family drama. Harry and Meghan and Andrew will be there but will be prevented from commandeering the whole Jubilee. And that's the way it should be.

[tammyconnelly]

Ugh…they should stay away and let the Queen enjoy herself.

[suzangeissler]

Bull. They aren't welcome on the balcony....or in UK. Tell the truth.

[tamara.]

They could travel whenever they wanted if they wanted to see family to reconnect face to face but the only times you’ll ever hear about they wanting or planning to visit the UK are when there is a massive events!

[pamelalalaable]

‘We know that they would have been welcome’??? Oh no they wouldn’t!!!

[Thankyou_]

Amen to the Queen, finally someone with a backbone.

[cheryllawson]

They are both a disgrace..they love the camera..go away and stay away

[Little_But_Fierce_NZ]

I call BS on everything Daisy said. There is no way the people of the UK will ever forgive the Harkles.

[farrahwalker]

I’m a Brit and that woman is talking for herself. I don’t know one person that like Methane and her side kick, quite the opposite, they are repugnantly vile.

The Queen and Charles would like to meet the children. But the public at large have zero interest in seeing their children.

[clarifyingquestions]

What would be unwelcome having Harry and Meghan is how awful they treated his family publicly.

[tinagriffiths]

I would say most of the British people would rather Meghan & Harry didn’t turn up for the Queens Platinum Jubilee . Its just unforgivable the way they’ve both told so many untruths & the upset they’ve caused to our wonderful Majesty the Queen .
