The Duke and Duchess of Sussex faced a significant blow as the Royal Family snubbed them, leaving them feeling excluded.
Reports indicate that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been offered a compromised position within the monarchy that fails to satisfy either of them.
A royal expert highlighted that the couple's aspirations have been thwarted following the revelation of this snub.
A grand state reception is scheduled to be held at Buckingham Palace later today, with the royal couple initially receiving invitations.
However, subsequent reports suggested that the invitations were mistakenly sent out.
Palace officials clarified that only active members of the royal family were intended to attend the event, thereby excluding Harry and Meghan.
Despite stepping back from their senior royal roles in 2020, Harry and Meghan expressed their commitment to supporting Queen Elizabeth II while striving for financial independence.
The couple aimed to balance their royal duties with personal pursuits, as per their statement.
Nevertheless, recent events have underscored the continued influence of the monarchy over their lives.
In the wake of the Queen's passing, Harry and Meghan reportedly made every effort to fulfill their obligations to the royal family.
A source close to the Sussexes revealed that they dutifully attended to all requests and engagements, demonstrating their loyalty.
However, their efforts seem to have been overshadowed by the prevailing dynamics within the royal household.
Prince Andrew, like Harry, will not be present at the palace function due to his non-active royal status.
Harry's transition to a more casual attire for official ceremonies mirrors his uncle's approach.
Despite relinquishing his military titles upon relocating to the US, Harry received a special allowance from the King to wear military attire at his grandmother's grave.
The upcoming state funeral for Queen Elizabeth II on September 19 is poised to attract a massive global audience.
Analysts predict that billions of viewers worldwide will tune in to witness the solemn ceremony at Westminster Abbey.
Richard Fitzwilliams, a renowned royal commentator, anticipates a record-breaking viewership surpassing previous historic events.
The funeral proceedings are expected to draw the entire royal family, including the Queen's children, their spouses, and all eight grandchildren.
Notably, the spouses of the Queen's grandchildren, such as Meghan Duchess of Sussex, are also projected to attend.
However, the whereabouts of the Queen's 12 great-grandchildren remain undisclosed, adding an element of mystery to the somber occasion.
Buckingham Palace officially confirmed the passing of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8, marking the beginning of a period of mourning and ceremonial rituals.
As preparations intensify for the state funeral at Westminster Abbey, the royal family will gather to bid farewell to their matriarch.
The symbolic significance of this event transcends borders, captivating audiences worldwide.
