Prince Harry, Meghan Snubbed From King Charles’ Trooping Parade Third Year

For the third consecutive year, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been excluded from Trooping the Colour, King Charles' official birthday military parade. Since Charles ascended the throne in 2022, the couple has not been invited, marking a shift from earlier expectations that they would still attend major royal events despite stepping back from royal duties in 2020. Their last appearance was at Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee in 2022, where they remained out of the public spotlight and did not join the traditional balcony appearance. The exclusion reflects ongoing tensions within the royal family, highlighted by Harry's recent loss of his legal bid to restore state-funded security in the U.K. and his admission that King Charles is not speaking to him due to disputes over security arrangements. Despite these difficulties, Harry has expressed a desire for reconciliation with his father, emphasizing the importance of family and the limited time they may have left together.
