It seems like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle just can’t catch a break. Despite online rumors suggesting otherwise, the couple has not been invited to King Charles’ highly anticipated 75th birthday party.
The news broke after the Sunday Times reported that Harry, 39, would not be attending the celebration at Clarence House on November 14, despite being invited. However, a spokesperson for the couple quickly clarified that they had not received an invitation at all.

The spokesperson released a statement on November 6, addressing the misleading reports. “In response to U.K. media headlines, there has been no contact regarding an invitation to His Majesty’s upcoming birthday,” the statement read. “It is disappointing the Sunday Times has misreported this story.”
Adding fuel to the fire, a source close to the couple revealed that the Palace had never reached out to Harry and Meghan about the party. It seems that the estranged couple was not even on the guest list. This snub comes as no surprise, considering Harry and Meghan’s strained relationship with the royal family.
Since their move to California, Harry and Meghan have been living their own lives, far away from the prying eyes of the British tabloids. They have built a new home for themselves and their two children, Archie and Lilibet. However, their decision to step back from royal duties and their explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier this year caused a rift within the family.
The last time Harry saw his family was during Charles’ official coronation in the U.K. in May. However, he left immediately after the ceremonial part of the event to return to Meghan and the kids. Since then, tensions have only escalated, and the relationship between Harry and his family remains strained.
It’s no secret that the royal family values tradition and protocol above all else. Harry and Meghan’s departure from the royal fold and their outspokenness about their struggles within the institution have been seen as a betrayal by some. The couple’s decision to prioritize their mental health and happiness over their royal duties has been met with mixed reactions.
While it may seem like a snub, perhaps it’s for the best that Harry and Meghan were not invited to the birthday celebration. Attending such an event would have undoubtedly put them in the spotlight, with all eyes on their every move. It’s clear that the couple is trying to distance themselves from the drama and scrutiny that comes with being part of the royal family.
Instead, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle can focus on building a new life for themselves and their children, free from the constraints of royal expectations. They can celebrate Charles’ milestone birthday in their own way, surrounded by loved ones who support and understand their choices.

One thing is for certain: Prince Harry and his wife Meghan are determined to create a life that is authentic and true to themselves. They have shown the world that they are willing to break free from tradition and expectations in order to prioritize their own happiness.
