They were not invited to Trooping the Colour for the third year in a row, People reported, as their feud with the royal family continues. The Duke, 40, and Duchess of Sussex, 43, last attended the military parade in 2022 for Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee. Two years prior, they had stepped away from their royal duties and relocated to Montecito, California. Therefore, the couple had to watch the ceremony from a separate balcony alongside other non-working royals. 13 Trooping the Colour parade to honour Britain's King Charles on his official birthday in London.

'This is the first year of his life that Harry hasn't been invited at all,' palace insider Richard Eden said in 2023. 'With Harry and Meghan, we've always had a sort of 'will they, won't they' before every big royal occasion.' 'Well, it seems like the palace has tackled this this time by just not inviting them at all,' he added. 'So, you know, it's significant.' Despite moving across the pond, some officials thought Prince Harry and the actress would still be invited to events such as Trooping the Colour. 13 Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh, Queen Camilla, King Charles III, Prince Louis of Wales, Prince William, Prince of Wales, Prince George of Wales, Catherine, Princess of Wales and Princess Charlotte of Wales and Prince Edward, Duke of Kent wave from the balcony.

'When Harry and Meghan quit royal duties, I think officials were very keen to stress that they would still be invited to occasions such as Trooping the Colour,' Eden expressed. 'So the fact they haven't been invited is very significant.'
