And even though it is a private visit, there is a stark resemblance to what a royal tour looks like.<\/p>\n<p>The coverage has been immense and the public seemed to have welcomed the non-working members with open arms. Some royal experts believe that it is a deliberate attempt of the Sussexes to attach themselves to the royal family.<\/p>\n<p>Before Harry and Meghan stepped back from their senior positions, royal biographers have revealed that the couple wanted a \u201chalf-in and half-out\u201d arrangement which the late Queen Elizabeth II did not want to happen.<\/p>\n<p>According to royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams, Harry and Meghan have taken matters into their own hand. He said that it was believed that it would be a \u201cblow to the contemporary image of the institution\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>This is what deepened the rift in the first place and now Harry and Meghan are imitating the royals to send a message as they are \u201cpositioning themselves as heirs\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe visit was carefully planned to make them successors to a royal tradition, Queen Elizabeth had opened it in 1963 and Harry\u2019s parents visited in their 1985 tour,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe images of them with the children were touching and heartwarming.
