Prince Harry’s Next Solo Engagement Announced; Where Will Meghan Markle Be?
Prince Harry’s upcoming solo engagement has just been announced.
The Duke of Sussex will attend the winter war-games in Norway to show his support to the elite British troops as they practice a massive mock counterattack against Russia.
Approximately 1,000 elite Royal Marine commandos are expected to practice defense of the Scandinavian nation against a putative Russian invasion, which is seen as a potential site of invasion by the Kremlin.
The upcoming winter war-games is said to be one of Britain’s biggest Arctic military exercises in 20 years. The demonstration is designed to be seen as a show of strength against Putin’s Russia amid fierce geopolitical tensions resembling the worst of the Cold War.
Two years ago, Prince Harry replaced Prince Philip as the ceremonial head of the Royal Marines. Prince Harry will spend several days observing the multi-million-pound war games, and he will also make an appearance together with Defense Secretary Gavin Williamson.
A military source said that Prince Harry won’t wear his military uniform since he will be attending the practice as part of an official visit.
“He won’t be in uniform, it is a visit. He’s going to show his support to the troops,” the source told Daily Mail.
Prince Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, will most likely not attend the engagement because of her pregnancy. The Duchess of Sussex is in her final trimester, and she is scheduled to give birth sometime in the Spring of 2019. She will stay in London.
In related news, Markle also made headlines today after it was reported that Kate Middleton felt the “Suits” alum used her to climb the royal ladder. A source told US Weekly that the Duchess of Cambridge told Markle how she felt about her, and the Duchess of Sussex acknowledged her feelings.
“Being under the same roof meant they couldn’t avoid each other,” the source said.
After their discussion, Middleton and Markle reportedly agreed to set their differences aside especially since Queen Elizabeth II seemingly had enough of their alleged feud. The Queen’s wish on Christmas Day was for the two women to settle their issues, and they did.
