Prince Harry has been urged to not make an appearance at this year’s Trooping the Colour, with many members of the Royal Family set to attend the event this week. The historic day, which is held annually to mark the monarch’s official birthday, is one of the biggests event in the royal calendar and will take place on Saturday, June 13.

The King and Queen will step out alongside fellow working royals on the Buckingham Palace balcony after attending the annual procession to start the day. Having now lived in the US since 2020, and no longer being regarded as a working member of the Royal Family, Harry has not attended the event in a number of years.

In a poll conducted by the Daily Express, royal fans were asked if they think Harry should make his first appearance at the event since 2019.

Of the 4,910 people who cast a vote, a staggering 4,687 people voted that Harry should stay away from this week’s event.

Just 205 people voted that he should make an appearance, whilst just 18 people shared that they ‘don’t know’ what Harry should do.

Taking to the comment section, one fan commented: “Absolutely not!”

A second added: “No! He’s no longer an active member of the Institution, so his presence at this event is unnecessary…”

Adding their reasoning why he shouldn’t attend, another added: “I don’t think Harry should attend Trooping The Colour as he stood down from royal duties.”

The Duke of Sussex is set to travel back to the UK next month for the one-year countdown event for the 2027 Invictus Games.

It remains unknown if his wife, Meghan Markle, and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, will join him.
