Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Excluded from State Event Ahead of Queen’s Funeral

Reports have surfaced that Prince Harry, his wife Meghan Markle, and uncle Prince Andrew will not be in attendance at a significant state event this week, just days before Queen Elizabeth's funeral.

The event, to be hosted by King Charles III on Sunday, September 18, 2022, is set to include heads of states, official foreign guests, and working royals.

However, the trio has been notably left off the invite list.

A spokesperson from Buckingham Palace has confirmed that only working royals will participate in the event.

The statement from the palace indicated that the King and Queen Consort will host heads of state and official overseas guests at Buckingham Palace prior to the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth.

The exclusion of Prince Harry, Meghan, and Prince Andrew from the official state event has been made clear.

Despite this, Prince Harry will pay tribute to the Queen by wearing his military uniform on Saturday.

Special permission has been granted for Prince Harry to wear his military colors during a lying-in-state vigil organized by the Queen's grandchildren at Westminster Hall.

The vigil on Saturday evening will see the Queen's eight grandchildren, including Prince Harry and Prince William, standing in silence for a 15-minute tribute next to the Queen's coffin.

Palace officials intervened after it was discovered that Prince Andrew had also been granted permission to wear his uniform at a vigil attended by the Queen's children on Friday.

Piers Morgan has expressed his belief that Prince Harry should be allowed to wear his military uniform as a mark of respect for the Queen.

He emphasized the need to apply common sense in such situations and suggested that rules should be flexible, especially considering that Prince Andrew, who is embroiled in controversy, will be permitted to wear his uniform.

Royal Correspondent Charles Wray has hinted at potential revelations from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex regarding the Royal Family in the coming months.

During an interview on GB News, Wray speculated about possible bombshells that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may drop as they return to the United States and engage in interviews and other promotional activities.

Isabel Webster, also on GB News, drew attention to the silence surrounding the couple amid ongoing speculation.

As discussions continue about the relationship between Prince William and Prince Harry, Charles Wray suggested that there may still be unresolved issues between the brothers.

The coming months are anticipated to bring more insights into the dynamics within the Royal Family as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle navigate their public roles and interactions.
