Middle-age is usually considered to be 45+. (Look it up. That seems to be the consensus.) Calling Meghan and Harry -- who are in their 30s -- middle-aged is just a way to drag them IMO.
I was not dragging them. There are two subtexts I find annoying: one, that Meghan is somehow controlling a poor innocent Harry, and two, that it is terrible to expect, if they are not in Canada in an official capacity, that they pay their own way. Both, at least to me, are prefaced on the ongoing narrative that Meghan is manipulative and that they are this young married coupled just starting out. Neither is true.
As for what is middle aged, I guess it depends on your sources:

As I said previously, I have made my point and I won’t use the term again. I wouldn’t have even responded except I am bored out of my mind and I find the Queen’s statement to be wholly unsatisfying. But given that most of it isn’t really any of our business I guess the Queen can issue her statement any way she wants.
