A new blow for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. They are not invited to the official reception.
According to various reports, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been “uninvited” to attend a state event that will be held at Buckingham Palace and hosted by King Charles III.
This comes as reports surfaced earlier this week that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had received invitations to several events.
According to The Telegraph, palace officials have reportedly intervened and stated that the reception will only be open to working royals. As a result, the pair is unlikely to attend the event.
The announcement was made after Prince Harry was given permission to wear his military uniform with his brother, Prince William, and his cousins while they held a vigil for the Queen at Westminster Hall on Saturday. The vigil was held in honor of the Queen.
The King expressed his admiration for the marriage in his first address to the nation since the passing of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, which took place last Friday. This was his first public appearance since the passing of his mother.
During their conversation, he expressed his desire to “convey my admiration for Harry and Meghan as they continue to establish their life overseas.”
At the VIP event that will be hosted at the palace, more than five hundred heads of state and dignitaries will be greeted by the new Prince and Princess of Wales, Princess Royal, the Earl and Countess of Wessex, and other members of the royal family.
It is anticipated that world leaders, including former Vice President Joe Biden of the United States, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada, and President Emmanuel Macron of France, will travel to London over the course of the weekend in order to take part in the state funeral of the Queen on Monday.
