Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Reportedly Excluded from Major Royal Event.  As preparations for Trooping the Colour are underway, it appears that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are not even given a second thought by King Charles. 

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were reportedly snubbed by the royal family, excluded from the guest list for the annual event, despite the low attendance from senior working royals, according to publicist Michael Levine.

Kate Middleton, currently undergoing preventative chemotherapy for cancer, will not be attending the ceremony and will not even appear on the balcony for a small wave. Levine told The Mirror that the “continued exclusion of Meghan and Harry from Trooping the Colour is a poignant reflection of their ongoing estrangement from the core of the British monarchy.”

In May, King Charles declined a meeting with his younger son, citing his “busy schedule,” despite being in close proximity to each other. Moreover, a title meant for the Duke of Sussex was also granted to Prince William, a telling sign from the King to Harry, reflecting their strained ties.

Harry and Meghan’s “absence for the second year running underscores the deep rifts that persist despite the pageantry and tradition that define the Royal Family,” Levine explained of the scenario.

“It’s a stark reminder that personal conflicts can ripple through the public spectacle even in the most revered institutions.”
