King Charles, Prince William, Kate Middleton and other senior members of the royal family will put on a united front as they continue to keep their ‘deliberate distance" from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly not invited to the Trooping the Colours this year for the third consecutive year.
Queen Camilla, Princess Anne, Prince Edward, Duchess Sophie, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis will join the monarch and heir to the throne besides Kate Middleton.
Speaking to the Fox News Digital, royal expert Hilary Fordwich said "Continuity will prevail all while shining a brilliant spotlight on stability.
"There will be a united front from the working senior royals with a rather deliberate distance from the Sussexes, who weren’t even invited for the third consecutive year, thereby avoiding unpleasant distractions."
Another royal expert Ian Pelham Turner said, "No doubt Charles would ideally love to have Harry and Meghan back in the U.K. and Andrew without the dishonor he has brought to the royal family. But, he can only publicly play the cards he has been dealt with in life."
The Trooping the Colour has marked the official birthday of the British Sovereign for over 260 years.
The Sovereign is then joined by other Members of the Royal Family on the balcony at Buckingham Palace to watch a fly-past by the Royal Air Force.
A 41-gun salute is also fired in Green Park to mark the occasion.
This year marks the third Trooping the Colour of King Charles reign.
