Meghan Markle and Prince Harry won’t be reuniting with the Royal Family any time soon

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s feud with the Royal Family has been turned into a “public spectacle” with their latest snub, according to an expert.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are believed to have been left off the invite list for King Charles’ birthday. The monarch will be celebrating his birthday at Trooping the Colour on June 15, but it seems his broken family relationships might overshadow the event.

It’s the second time in a row Harry and Meghan haven’t been invited to the monarch’s birthday celebrations. Leading publicist Michael Levine has said the snub serves as a “stark reminder” of the bitter Royal feud.

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - JUNE 08: (EMBARGOED FOR PUBLICATION IN UK NEWSPAPERS UNTIL 24 HOURS AFTER CREATE DATE AND TIME) Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex travel down The Mall in a horse drawn carriage as they attend Trooping The Colour, the Queen's annual birthday parade, on June 8, 2019 in London, England. The annual ceremony involving over 1400 guardsmen and cavalry, is believed to have first been performed during the reign of King Charles II. The parade marks the official birthday of the Sovereign, although the Queen's actual birthday is on April 21st. (Photo by Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty Images)

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Michael said: “This 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.

“Their absence for the second year running underscores the deep rifts that persist despite the pageantry and tradition that define the Royal Family. It’s a stark reminder that personal conflicts can ripple through the public spectacle even in the most revered institutions.”

Michael suggested the snub poses a “significant problem” for Meghan and Harry and their place within the Royal Family. Harry and Meghan attended Trooping the Colour in both 2018 and 2019.

The event was scaled down in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The event was instead held for the late Queen Elizabeth at Windsor Castle without a large gathering of family members.

In 2022, Meghan and Harry travelled to the UK for the Trooping Colour but didn’t join the Royal Family on the Buckingham Palace balcony as they had done in previous years. Instead, they watched the festivities from a room above Horse Guards Parade along with other non-working royals.

Trooping the Colour traditionally sees more than 1,400 parading soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians come together to mark the Sovereign’s official birthday. This year’s event will take place on Saturday June 15 from 10am until 12.25pm. There is a flypast scheduled to fly over Buckingham Palace at 1pm.

This year’s event will be slightly different to previous years. While the King will still take part in the procession, he will ride in a carriage rather than on horseback amid his ongoing cancer treatment.
