Harry 'absolutely furious' about treatment during the Jubilee, says expert

The Duke of Sussex was "absolutely furious" during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations, according to a royal expert. Harry and Meghan only attended one public event during the bank holiday weekend - the Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral.

They sat across the aisle from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and did not appear to acknowledge each other or make eye contact. Harry was seen laughing with other attendees as the couple took their seats - but his biographer Angela Levin took a different view of the mood.

She told The Sun : "The thing that really stood out for me on that day was Harry's anger – he wears his emotions on his face and he looked absolutely furious.

"He could have been feeling lots of things, I don't know whether he had a wave of feeling at what he had given up. He is self-destructive and might regret what he has lost, maybe he was recalling bad memories and was wishing he hadn't come at all."

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were also absent when the Queen and senior royals appeared on the Buckingham Palace balcony. Earlier, MailOnline reported Harry and Meghan wanted their own photographer to capture the moment the Queen met their daughter Lilibet for the first time at Windsor - but a source said they were told "no chance" as it was a private moment.

The Sussexes are not believed to have spent any private time with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge during the Jubilee weekend, with William's family unlikely to have met Lilibet. A source said the brothers' relationship remains "fraught" after Harry and Meghan's bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.

But Harry and Meghan's friend Omid Scobie said the Queen met the little girl "on more than one occasion", and she also met the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall before the Sussexes jetted home to California.
