Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have lost their narrative since they left the royal family in 2020. The couple decided to step back from their royal duties due to constant media scrutiny and ill-treatment at the hands of the royal family. Since they have shifted to the US, the couple has been slandering the image of the royal family beyond measure. Due to this, it has become difficult for both parties to reconcile.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s constant tarnishing of the image of the royal family has made the family retaliate. King Charles III asked the couple to vacate Frogmore Cottage, the only UK residence for the couple. They have also demoted both of them to ‘Others’ from ‘non-working royals’. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex extended an olive branch by wishing Charles a happy birthday. But that has not seemed to have worked, as they will not be invited to the Christmas celebration with the family.

Prince Harry And Meghan Markle’s Invitation For Christmas Was Withdrawn Before It Was Sent
In November 2023, a source told the Times that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might receive an invitation from the royal family to spend the Christmas holiday with them. The report came after the couple called King Charles III to extend wishes for his 75th birthday.
However, after the release of Omid Scobie’s explosive book titled ‘Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival’, the royal family may not send holiday invitations to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
A royal source, Richard Edgen, said, “I suspect they [Prince Harry and Meghan Markle] are probably annoyed with Scobie as much as the rest of the Royal Family.”
The royal source told the Daily Mail, “Over recent weeks, the Sussexes had been desperately trying to mend fences with King Charles, phoning him on his birthday and friends dropping hints about how they would like to be invited to Sandringham for Christmas.”
The insider said, “From what I hear, any invitation that might have been will not be withdrawn.”

The Couple Got Snubbed From Archie’s Godfather’s Wedding
It seems all the royal families in the UK are boycotting Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for tainting the public image of the family. Prince Harry and Prince William’s friend, Hugh Grosvenor, is getting married to Olivia Henson in 2024. Prince William, Kate Middleton, King Charles III, and Queen Camilla are invited.
However, as per a report by The Sunday Times, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are not included in the guest list for Hugh Grosvenor’s wedding. Hugh is a godfather to both Archie and Prince William’s son, George.
The snub comes after Omid Scobie’s racism row, where the author’s Dutch book copies mentioned the names of royal family members who were concerned about Archie’s skin color. It was King Charles III and Kate Middleton who were concerned about the unborn child’s skin color. Piers Morgan further confirmed it on his show.
